This article introduces Vizard, a C/C++‑based virtual‑reality development platform with Python support, and demonstrates how to load avatars and objects, create random‑walk behavior, implement dialogue actions, control character movement via keyboard, capture mouse input, and combine these techniques into a complete interactive 3D scene.
This article explains the WebXR standard for rendering 3D scenes in browsers, covers its history, browser support, step‑by‑step usage with WebGL, details the WebXR Device API objects such as XRSystem, XRSession, XRReferenceSpace, and demonstrates a panoramic VR image viewer with full code examples.
This guide introduces WebXR’s 3DoF/6DoF concepts, walks through building a basic A‑Frame scene, then shows how to add Mind‑AR face‑tracking with WebAssembly, WebGL2/WebGPU and event listeners, and even wraps it in a React component, outlining the three core steps for creating performant web‑based AR experiences.
This article introduces Vizard, a C/C++‑based virtual‑reality development platform with Python bindings, and demonstrates how to load avatars and objects, implement a random‑walk pigeon, create talking characters, handle character movement via keyboard, capture mouse motion, and combine these techniques into a functional VR scene.
The article recounts a former VR professional’s candid assessment of the industry’s bleak economics, explaining why consumer‑focused VR is unprofitable, how companies shift to government contracts, the risks of project cancellations, and why many now view real‑world manufacturing as a more viable path.
In this translated AMA, Three.js creator Ricardo Cabello discusses his journey from the Demoscene to Google, the evolution of Three.js, challenges of open‑source maintenance, performance optimizations, WebGL versus WebGPU, VR/AR prospects, and the future role of web graphics in the metaverse.
The article traces the Metaverse from its literary origin in Neal Stephenson's 1992 novel, explains the current investment frenzy by major tech firms, defines the concept through examples like the Oasis and Roblox's eight attributes, and outlines the key technologies—5G, edge computing, VR/AR/MR, blockchain, and AI—required to realize it while highlighting cost challenges.
VR video clarity suffers because the required pixels‑per‑degree far exceed what 4K or 8K spherical streams can deliver, but tile‑based encoding that decodes only the viewport, combined with low motion‑to‑photon latency, distortion control, advanced codecs and AI‑driven projection, promises sharper, lower‑bitrate 6DoF experiences.
I2UV-HandNet reconstructs high-fidelity 3D hand meshes from a single RGB image using an AffineNet encoder‑decoder to predict coarse UV maps and an SRNet super‑resolution module, trained on the SuperHandScan dataset, achieving real‑time performance and state‑of‑the‑art benchmark results, and targeting integration into next‑generation VR headsets without external controllers.
This article explains how Kuaishou's audio‑video team implemented panorama video technology in 2020, covering its historical background, user impact, data analysis of a viral video, and the technical pipeline that creates a spherical model, projects it, and renders immersive 360° playback on mobile devices.
This article explains the fundamentals of virtual reality and its distinction from augmented reality, describes VR hardware, outlines depth‑estimation and eye‑tracking methods such as projection, Hough transform, AdaBoost and sample matching, discusses Sobel edge detection, and explores the importance of audio, haptic feedback, and immersive VR applications in education.
Baidu smart mini‑programs let developers embed low‑cost VR components—such as panoramic video, image, 3‑D ring and model viewers—into apps via dynamic libraries, supporting live streaming, education and marketing use cases, while Baidu’s rendering engine and upcoming 5G bandwidth aim to broaden immersive experiences.
iQIYI’s deep‑learning pipeline converts single‑view images into high‑quality stereo pairs for VR by training on side‑by‑side 3D movies, employing a Monodepth‑based encoder‑decoder, a CVAE to encode camera parameters, ConvLSTM for temporal consistency, and disparity‑guided inpainting to fill occlusion holes, achieving stable, continuous depth maps validated through extensive human 3‑D effect assessments.
The article details how China Mobile's Beijing network management center uses massive monitoring screens, big‑data analytics, AI, VR and advanced data‑center automation to ensure near‑perfect connectivity for tens of thousands of subway passengers during peak hours and major events.
With 5G accelerating video traffic, immersive media relies on advanced 3D representation, efficient point‑cloud and video‑based compression, standardized containers, and selective streaming to enable realistic VR/AR experiences across gaming, autonomous driving, and broadcasting, while Tencent’s lab drives standards and future XR applications.
Leveraging 5G’s massive bandwidth, ultra‑low latency, edge computing and network slicing, Youku is delivering ultra‑high-definition, immersive cloud‑VR and interactive video—ranging from restored legacy films and multi‑camera live streams to branching dramas and 6DoF experiences—creating richer user experiences and novel business models.
This article details a front‑end solution for online seat selection in a virtual‑reality airplane cabin, analyzing challenges such as marker visibility, scene transition effects, and efficient point placement, and presenting concrete implementations with Photo‑Sphere‑Viewer, custom zoom animations, and marker management code.
Youku’s new 6DoF video approach replaces low‑resolution, bandwidth‑heavy VR by capturing multi‑camera footage, reconstructing full‑depth scenes in the cloud, and streaming standard‑compliant streams that let viewers freely translate and rotate within the content, delivering higher visual quality, AR integration, and new business opportunities.
