Posted March 23, 2019 First post on this forum but thought you might all find this very interesting. I am studying at a college that specialises in nuclear. They have dedicated a room to VR and inside have 4 HTC Vive Pro's with the wireless kits, as well as 4 PC's with an i9 7940X, GTX 1080, and 32GB ram each. The idea is that for us who are training to work in the nuclear power industry, the VR can simulate scenarios that would be very dangerous for us to train in or impossible. One such scenario could be where a radioactive source must be contained and dealt with, or one I have done is putting out a electrical fire (selecting the correct type of extinguisher) and then dealing with a casualty. All in a smoke filled room. This is one application I think VR is very good for because especially with nuclear, there is lots of training we undergo in the case of an emergency. However simulating an emergency can be quite hard, and in VR it is safe to make mistakes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted March 23, 2019 That's pretty damn cool. Nice (and a bit surprising) to hear the multiple wireless kits don't cause interference problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, the person who is in charge of all the VR left the college as the wireless kits came. So I don't think all have been tested at once. They also haven't figured out how to stop the 4 people in the same room walking into each other yet. To move, you can physically move or use your right hand press the thumb button which moves you in the direction you are looking. So where each person is in VR isn't necessarily where they are in the play space. 5 minutes ago, Aimi said: So you have a room just for Fallout 4 VR? :^) I wish, so far not persuaded them to let me play games. Still working on it though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's nothing else on the steam account. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
