VR News: Sep 8 - Oculus "Judge us on Touch Launch" - Touch Price Leak? - VR Facial Tracking & More!
50Cheers Guys!
I start the news with a couple of stories involving the Touch. In the first one we have word from Jason Rubin to "judge them on their Touch Launch" not their initial launch. Second Touch story deals with a German vendor's possible price leak!
I then report on finally having the new Gear VR model.
After this I talk about Emteq and their HMD Facial recognition Tracking software called "FaceTeq".
Next up a game called "Homebound" which I mistakingly refer to in the video as "Earthbound"..can you tell ive got RPG on the brain!?
Story after that I talk about Nasa partnering with Manus the Haptic VR Glove manufacturer.
Last two stories deal with Visual effects veterans like ILM and their migration to VR as well as the worlds first VR Comic!
