| | Hi, Great idea for the use of VR. I think You could use Blue Mars which is a new 3d social environment non violent game that uses the cryengine 2 game engine which the VR920 should work with . In it you can explore and interact in a virtual world of terraformed Mars. The great thing is aswell is that they supply editing tools if you want to create your own content. So I think basic structures and furniture would be there. Just to have patients explore this earth like virtual world would be easy enough. Oh and its free to download! Cheers Graeme |

| | Hi again, I just looked back on this post and don't think Blue Mars would run on a laptop but the sugestion from another post to use Second life should work as it demands less graphics wise and is supported by the VR920.

| I think I 'm not making myself clear.
I'll try to rephrase my requirement.
I need to play game lying in the bed, my face facing the roof, and I want the headtracker to recognize my position as facing forward in the game, and not as facing the sky.
And when I actually get up from lying position to look forward, I want the headtracker to let me look at the ground in the game.
Basically, I want to shift the basline for the pitch alone by 90 degrees.
Is it possible? |

Thanks for chipping in. But, Second Life is not Life-like, especially in the context I'm trying to use. I'm still trying, will let you all know if I'm getting anywhere. |

| | Hi, No Problem, For the tracking I think you have tried setting the zero while facing the roof and it did not work. I'll try it with my one but it will be next week as I am not at home. I hope you get it working as if I was stuck in a bed because of disability or injury it would be very theraputic to move about in a virtual world to help rehabilitation and lessen stress.

I've already spent most of my allotted budget on bying the VR920...so please break the bad news if if I definitely need to buy a graphics card
Thanks
Anand
Good news! I'm in line to get a grant to order for a good gaming machine for the project...so, the hardware constraint might be off soon.
I would be glad if the seasoned gamers could suggest me:
1. A good gaming machine, $1000 to $1500 (can't build it, has to be a branded one...technical reasons for grant purposes) that would not require too much of tweaking to make the VR920 give me 3D and stereoscopy. Someone I know has suggested to go for Alienware series... I've know clue...is it ok?
2. A game that'll give the best life-like virtual reality image sequence for about 10 to 15 minutes; preferably something like walking in a garden or along a road, where no shooting is involved. "As-life-like-as-possible"- because it has to feel as close to reality as possible (something like entering the Matrix!!!). Again, someone I know has suggested Elderscrolls-IV for this purpose. Is it ok?
I would like to remind you all that I'm a novice in gaming, and I bought the VR920 only for this project. It's almost a month since I bought it, and still, the only 3D/headtracking I've experienced with my VR920 is the Airxonix and the Axysnake. Even just to try, I need to buy the game. So please, please, please help me choose my gaming PC, the game options (the exact version which has suppost for VR920) and details of any other hardware tweaking required. (Wouldnt it be nice someone works to have a sticky somewhere which does just this- enlist all the games with minute details as to which exact version works with VR920, what hardware/software tweaks are required etc..so that novices too can be encouraged to jump into the VR stream...as of now it seems just a Big Boys' arena)
Thanks. I'm waiting. |

Hi all, I really waited.
I'm well beyond the deadline for submission of the project proposal, and so, I'm forced to drop the project. Those of you who tried helping me, thanks a lot.
If anyone here would guide me, it'd still help me revive it sometime next year.
Thanks.

| Hi,
Sorry to hear you had to drop the project. I tried setting up my VR920 tracking to be out 90 degrees on the pitch so you would see ahead on screen while lying on your back. Unfortunatly I could not get this to work as it just acted as before. I think the tracking uses gravity for orientation of the view. You could swich off the tracking and give the patient a mouse or other imput device for navigating their view.
cheers
