VR recommendations

Post by geo3D »

I am working on experiments with 3D geologic mapping using point clouds from Structure from Motion/Multiview stereo as a base map. I recently got funds to buy a field laptop for this work. I want to use it with VR, and cloudcompare supports Occulus Rift and Nvidia 3D vision. In discussions with vendors I have been told these are "very old VR technology" systems. I understand that given that any of that kind of tech is "old" in two weeks.

What I am asking here is advice. Is there a development effort to make cloud compare work on "more modern" devices? If so, what are they? I could invest in that now under the assumption it would come online for me as it becomes available.
thanks in advance for any advice.

Good question.

And yes, definitely the VR market evolves too fast for us, and both technologies are already outdated :|

Currently, there's no effort (I'm aware of) to support a new VR system (even if Microsoft Mixed Reality would probably be the smartest choice I guess)

Thanks Daniel, i forgot to check this. I guess only way I could experiment would be to buy an old oculus on ebay? at least it should be cheap!
