NOKIA Escape Room Walk-Through
This complete Walk-Through is a flat representation of the stunning VR experience at the creepy subway station. Feel water dropping from the ceiling, encounter high quality reflections, the lavish lighting of the scenery and a highly immersive sound design. The real VR Experience runs at constant 90fps on an HP OMEN Laptop with the Oculus Rift.
Let's do the TimeWarp again!
An excerpt from the NOKIA Virtual Training Demo Version 2.1. This feasibility study demonstrates the use of multiple video clips simultaneously including post-processing effects and high-quality reflections. Particularly noteworthy is the ability to play 4k videos (Vivaldi) within the scenery. Here, too, the real movement of the player and not a predefined camera movement was recorded. All visible effects take place in real time. Although up to three videos run simultaneously, the frame rate in VR does not drop below 90fps!
The Virtual Showroom
I was curious and then I visited them, the virtual fairs on the web. But I had the same problems that many other visitors report:
- Walk-through 3D scenes that make the computer stutter
- Moderately tasteful setup, so as not to overload the browser
- Bad quality of the video players because of the integration into the 3D module
- Bad navigation because of the system limitations
This has to work out better, I thought to myself, and without further ado I built a fancy exhibition hall, into which I flew with my virtual camera drone...
