5 accessories that make it true virtual reality – GQ.com

Luca Pierattini

When you test for the first time a viewer for virtual reality is left with a bitter taste. After spending the first few minutes settling in to the Video 360 degrees , the first instinct is that is to look down to see what it represents your body, or reach out to interact with objects in the virtual world. Either way you’ll be disappointed, because hands will not appear in the frame and you can not touch anything – indeed, eye to move too much that you can also hurt yourself. For this, waiting for the market definitely explode with the arrival of Oculus Rift in Italy (at year end?), Several companies specializing in accessories are beginning to sell specific accessories that are able to make even more real experience in 3D regardless of whether you’re using one of the most powerful vision goggles on the market or those smartphone-employees such as Samsung Gear VR or cardboard Google . We selected five.

Manus VR . To obviate the need to take and move objects, these gloves are ideal because they transform your movements into virtual actions, allowing you to interact with the environment around you. With six hours of battery life, you can even play a piano in 3D. Price: $ 250.

Razer Hydra . Waiting for the Oculus Touch receives all the permissions to be put on the market, this controller is perfect for the virtual gaming: just hold the two sensors and magnetic detection will monitor the movement of the hands to play in the images on the display. Price: $ 600.

Virtuix Omni . The other long-standing problem to be solved in virtual reality is how to move without the risk of bumping into obstacles, walls or barriers “real” invisible when you wear the viewers. The Virtuix Omni is expensive but it is a round treadmill can make you freely explore the virtual environment without being moved by a millimeter: by connecting the device to the Oculus Rift, the platform will transmit your movement to the viewer, and you will move virtually. Price: $ 699 (plus $ 220 for shoes, sensors and belt).

FeelReal . This mask is still being tested but it promises well: linking it to the viewer will be able to play any temperature change that you see in 3D. For example, if the wind blows, two microventilatori will work actively to fake it, or if you get close to a fire we will think microcaloriferi with two independent temperature sensors (in order not to burn yourself) and an ultrasonic ionization system to play the damp feeling. There will also be a cartridge in the latest version of the mask can release odors of the objects you encounter in our virtual path. Price: $ 250.

Teslasuit . A virtual suit can make you experience the virtual emotions on your skin: can simulate the feeling of wet, hot, cold, as well as be able to put pressure on a body part to simulate contact with another person . In practice it is a computer with a quad-core processor 1 GHz, 1 GB of RAM and 16 GB of internal memory which can be connected to the viewer via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi. Price: $ 1,500.
