VR Best Practices
Commercial VR devices are just around the corner, and more and more content is being created for them. This singular environment poses new and unique challenges, not the least of which is the ability of the developer to make the user physically ill. Not only do you have to worry about making your experience fun, but also about making it comfortable.
In this talk we'll look at the current state of VR hardware and software, and talk about the most common problems that can make a VR experience not fun - and look at great examples of excellent VR experiences. We'll talk about latency, motion sickness, cameras, shaders, movement, refresh rates, tracking, along with practical examples and tips of how to tackle these issues in game engines, using Unity as a platform.
