Virtual reality is about to enter a golden age. The technology will certainly enhance the way we game, watch movies and now, even communicate on Skype. A new invention brings the world’s first virtual reality webcam to us and yes, it’s just as cool as it sounds.
WEBEYE VR WILL CHANGE THE WAY WE SKYPE FOREVER
Sure, looking at your friends on a plain, flat, two-dimensional Skype screen is cool and all, but it can always be better. Everything can. WebEye VR proves this. Showcasing a full stereoscopy with 160-degree viewing, one can look all around in three dimensions. Full depth perception is fully experienced as objects and people enter your personal universe. Not to mention this is all in crystal clear, HD at 30 frames per second. Now, you can Skype to mom thousands of miles away just like you’re sitting at the dinner table with her. The best part is, you don’t have to endure that dry meatloaf.
THE INS AND OUTS OF WEBEYE VR
All you need to Skype in the third dimension will be a tripod, a small amount of money and the desire to talk to someone. Don’t have a tripod? It’s cool, it comes with a cute little one anyway. For video modes, WebEye VR currently has a WebRTC based streaming platform that connects one-on-one with another individual in your web browser. If you wish, you may broadcast yourself to multiple people at once. Viewers will need Firefox Nightly for Oculus Rift or Google Chome Mobile for Cardboard. If all this sounds expensive, it’s not. In addition to a small and portable size, the WebEye VR comes with an even smaller price tag. For just $300, you can get your whole family in the room and talk to them in VR. If you don’t like your family, that’s cool. There are other uses for VR.
