The Oculus Rift released earlier this year is a very interesting VR helmet, but it is not perfect, especially the lack of a hand tracking controller, which has become the biggest omission in it. But now, Oculus has managed to make up for this shortcoming and invited the media to the company headquarters to experience their controller Touch.
Although the Touch will not be officially released until December 6, but from the current experience, the controller feels quite comfortable, the tracking accuracy is also high, and the addition of an additional camera is also a plus item. In this article, we will introduce several technical demonstrations provided by Oculus.
VR Sports Challenge
As early as 2006, Wii Sports has demonstrated the potential of motion control technology to millions of players in an easy-to-understand way. For the Oculus Touch controller, the meaning of the VR Sports Challenge is the same. But compared to Wii Sports, the game is lacking in competitiveness and fun.
The VR Sports Challenge does not simulate all aspects of sports like Wii Sports, but divides them into a series of mini-games and abstracts them into fractional challenges in the process.
For example, in rugby, you need to aim with your eyes and then throw the ball into the green highlighted goal. Then, your perspective will immediately switch to the goal position, you need to reach out and press the trigger button of the controller to catch the football flying in slow motion.
The gameplay of basketball is also limited. You can't run on the field or grab a hole at the rim, but only dribble to a specific position and pass the ball. It’s great to have a Touch jumper with a wrist, and the physical judgment is very tolerant. Even if your shooting angle is not good, basketball can successfully fly into the basket.
Ice hockey is the most interesting of these sports. You will play the role of a goalkeeper in the game, watching the opponents pass the ball effortlessly. As the hockey moves, you must keep it in focus, because when it comes to the goal, you have to use a stick or hand to block it.
As the game progresses, you will slowly unlock new game features and more mini-games.
Overall, the VR Sports Challenge is a simple and inconsistent technology showcase designed to give new users an idea of ​​how the Touch controller is being used. However, due to the lack of social elements like Wii Sport, most players may put it on the shelf after an hour or so.
The Unspoken
I have thought of a addiction to the wizard, "The Unspoken" can satisfy your wishes.
The game has a natural, intuitive motion control interface that lets you instantly feel the power of magic flowing through your body. You can fire a fireball or magic shield directly with your hand, or use a simple gesture to activate a more powerful spell. For example, if you want to raise a wall, you need to hold down the trigger button and draw an X by hand; to summon a cockroach, you need to put the palms together and then make the same posture as the swinging punch.
Although there are certain restrictions on the single-player mode, "The Unspoken" seems to focus on the multi-player online magic duel. In the beginning, it may be a bit strange to face your enemies in a VR environment. From the first person perspective, you can attack each other, but you can't move easily. But after a while, you can master how to find a favorable position to cover your enemy.
Medium
"Medium" can be seen as a work by Oculus against TIltbrush, and it has a lot to be commended. But unlike TIltbrush, which focuses on painting/graffiti, Oculus's game is more focused on making 3D objects with actual depth of field.
"Medium" provides a set of preset templates, such as human anatomy and mechanical devices, which allow you to get started quickly. Once you're proficient, you can use tools such as smear, flatten, rotate, cut, and deform to shape the basic shape into what you want to make. You can then further spray and decorate the finished 3D model.
The game's interface complements the Touch controller. You hold the tool board in one hand and the other hand to select and use these tools. The trigger button is the main control method in the game, but you can also use the joystick to quickly undo, or rotate, increase/decrease the tool size.
If you just want to simply doodle, it's easier to get started with a game like TIltbrush. But if you want to make some realistic 3D models, "Medium" can make playing more space.
