<div name="messageBodySection" style="font-size: 14px; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, sans-serif;">Hi Alex,
<div><br /></div>
<div>Just to add up one more point: yt is always able to generate pre-rendered virtual reality movies with stereo-spherical lens, which works perfectly with Google Cardboard.</div>
<div><br /></div>
<div>To generate the movie, you could refer to this page: http://yt-project.org/docs/dev/visualizing/volume_rendering.html#spherical-and-stereo-spherical</div>
<div><br /></div>
<div>An example move is at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZYWY53X7UQE . You could also put your smartphone into Google Cardboard to watch the video with Youtube App.</div>
</div>

<div>Hi All,<br />
<br /></div>
Just FYI - one can also generate points/surfaces with yt and upload them somewhere like Sketchfab and use their VR mechanisms.<br />
<br /></div>
Looking forward to what comes of it!<br />
<br /></div>
Cheers,<br /></div>

<br />
Yup, we have been, and with the vive and oculus specifically. Right<br />
now though, it never got past much of a tech demo phase -- there's<br />
code on my group's bitbucket account (<a href="http://bitbucket.org/data-exp-lab/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">bitbucket.org/data-exp-lab/</a> )<br />
that runs in Unity, and Nathan Goldbaum got some of the stuff that's<br />
in yt (the volume rendering) to work with the OpenVR python bindings<br />
directly (not srue where that code is) but it's all still pretty early<br />
on. </blockquote>
<div><br /></div>
<div>This code isn't really usable yet. In order for this to actually work, we'll need a big overhaul of the OpenGL volume rendering in yt to use multiple passes.</div>
<div><br /></div>
<div>In addition there were significant performance issues that I never tracked down. Unfortunately I'm no expert on graphics programming and that's probably what's needed here.</div>

on soon that will take another look, but July might be a bit<br />
optimistic... That being said, it'd be an awesome hack or<br />
collaboration and if you are interested in trying to push it at all,<br />
that'd be pretty rad.<br />
