As you`re probably heard, Sketchfab has developed native apps for using virtual reality (VR) content on the HTC Vive, Oculus Rift, and Samsung Gear VR. The headsets are very useful to view 3D configurators. These demo apps show some great Sketchfab scenes, but you can also see all 750.000 models of Sketchfab on these [...]
For several months now, Sketchfab has announced Apps for Virtual Reality (VR) - available for Oculus, HTC Vive, Samsung Gear VR and Google Cardboard - and the first WebVR support on Sketchfab. These apps provide a dedicated VR experience and make Sketchfab available on multiple headsets. The apps are a curated showcase for models [...]
If you enter a virtual environment that does not use motion tracking technology, it will not be very rewarding to visit. Motion tracking is the digitization of motion to be used by computers. This technology is critical to creating a high-quality VR experience like 3D configurators. Without motion tracking in VR, you would feel [...]
Google has been very active in the Virtual Reality (VR) (the use of 3D configurators in VR is becoming more and more important) area so far. Thanks to Google Cardboard, many people were able to view a lot of content via YouTube at low cost. In 2016, Google introduced Daydream, a new VR platform for [...]
Oculus (well-suited to view 3D configurators) has published a video on YouTube showing a VR illustrator called Quill: After describing the video, Quill was created to help the artistic minds at Oculus Story Studio complete the VR film Dear Angelica, the third project to debut from the [...]
Today, complex software to create 3D configurators and a specific skill set are required to create compelling Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) experiences. This software also requires the creation of 3D objects on a 2D screen - something our brain wasn`t designed for. Behind Blocks from Google is the idea that creating [...]
App developers (for example to create 3D configurators) now have an easy way to populate their virtual worlds. Creating a virtual reality (VR) app is not an easy task, especially when it comes to filling these immersive worlds. Even in a semi-realistic world, tons of objects are required, [...]
Spherical panoramas can be very helpful in staging interiors, as they allow the viewer to explore the space by himself. You don`t have to worry about selecting limited camera angles for rendering (important task in creating a 3D configurator). Instead, you can use your spherical 360° shot to cover any view you might want [...]
It seems that 2017 was the year of Virtual Reality (VR). New VR headsets and applications (like 3D configurators) were introduced everywhere. Now many interested people are asking themselves whether the rime is ripe for a product configurator in VR. Is VR really useful for product [...]
The year 2017 was called the Year of Virtual Reality (VR), with so many different events taking place throughout the year. Among the most notable are Vive (perfect headset to view 3D configurators in VR) and Oculus, which went over the counter millions of times. Google announced Daydream and Xiaomi/Tencent a new head-mounted display. [...]
