This company may be able to bring new ideas to the increasingly crowded VR large space market

High-end equipment, high-precision large-space VR theme parks are no longer new to people, but there is also a Jonathan Nowak Degado German who has turned the empty public space into a "movable" space. Realistic playground, this thing has to say about it.

"You are not playing Pac-Man, and you are the one who is eating the beans," said Degado, co-founder of Holodeck VR in Munich. Once the player wears the VR heads, they are surrounded by virtual walls and can see a wide variety of collectibles or monsters. "This is not the same as previous VR games. This large space VR game requires you to keep walking around."

Currently, the startup company with the holographic platform Holodeck, which was recently released by NVIDIA, has developed different test scenarios around many classic retro games, in addition to HoloPac like Pac-Man, and Holopong (VR version of the classic game Pong). ) and VR version bomber.

In order for this large space to work, HolodeckVR needs space. Delgado explained that the company will create two different arenas for people in the future: the 20m x 20m arena and the 200m x 200m huge arena. "Holodeck Grand Arena can accommodate up to 20 people to compete on the same court, while the Grand Arena can accommodate up to 100 more people," he said.

The company selected Samsung Gear VR as the head-up device for its solution, and it has been retrofitted to enhance location tracking through a combination of radio and optical tracking. At the same time, Jeff Burton, a founding member of EA Corporation, was recruited, which shows that his ambition is not small.

"We can combine multiple signals at any time," Degado said. This is accomplished by installing a radio sensor on the Gear VR and installing a high-speed camera around the space. "In addition, we can also track other things such as hands, entity props, guns, or other moving objects."

In fact, this tracking technology comes from Fraunhofer IIS, a German research institute, which integrates RF, IR tracking and on-board inertial measurement units to help VR headsets provide multiple user location tracking VR experiences. In other words, HolodeckVR brings a large number of users into the VR experience, and they will be able to interact with each other in the same physical space. This results in a significant reduction in hardware costs and allows the system to identify multiple commercial headlines in a single space.

At present, large space VR theme parks including The Void, Zero Latency, etc. are popular all over the world, and there are also many VR large space experience halls in China. However, all of them require a fixed place or space, and prices are generally high. Regardless of technology and content, Holodeck VR's solution may be able to bring more convenient mobility to VR large-space games, as well as significantly reduce costs and bring more intimate multiplayer gaming experience to the experiencer.

However, the number of companies that currently use mobile devices to implement VR large-space solutions is still relatively small. However, the simplicity, convenience, and low cost of mobile VR are inherent advantages. The fact also proves that mobile VR is not a big space experience. Although the current content of Holodeck VR does not seem to be attractive, content can be enhanced by developers' efforts.

As mentioned at the beginning, HolodeckVR can transform the public space into a large-scale VR playground. It is believed that in the near future, we can easily experience the fun brought about by large-space VR games in parks and shopping malls. After the official launch of Oculus Go and Vive Focus, it can replace mobile VR devices in it to provide better games and content.
