苹果公司和虚拟现实 —— 一年之后

 

在最近的苹果全球开发者大会(WWDC )上,苹果公司发布了关于虚拟现实(VR)和增强现实(AR)的重大新闻。首先,苹果要推出具备这样的技术的新电脑;第二,苹果已使用Metal 2完善了三维图形;最后也是最有趣的事是,苹果并未提及其自己的VR平台或者头盔(虚拟现实眼镜)。

从Cupertino公司可以读到许多关于此发布会的文章,所以我们可以将这些消息留给苹果的追随者来关注。但苹果证实了它对虚拟现实(VR)和增强现实(AR)行业的兴趣,却没有推出一个新的平台来粉碎市场。

苹果公司过去在VR上的兴趣缺乏,支持了许多对VR持怀疑态度的人,他们认为这个行业已经过时了。昨天,在其PC机后的一年,苹果公司宣布了为VR预备的设备并增强其软件,以提供更好的图形。这最终确认了这些工具正在改变我们的世界、休闲、社交和工作方式。

但从谣言中可清楚看出,令人惊讶的是其所采取的策略,与其它产品开发相反,苹果定义了一个独立于其他产品的概念。本次公告并未包含任何自身的平台和头盔,但他们可在有限范围内支持已存在的其它平台,例如SteamVR,可从Mac上访问VIVEOpenVR

Google Daydream

Virtual Reality is gradually becoming a reality within the reach of everyone. Now Google has taken a big step to make it possible, Daydream. This new platform from the creators of Android, aims to turn each of our smartphones into an RV set.

Daydream consists of a Headset, a remote controller and a platform for the software. But it goes further, Google pretends that the next generation of phones is really prepared to offer VR seriously. So little by little we will see how the manufacturers will launch their new devices as Daydream Ready, or ready for the future.

At MooKan we are convinced that the future of communications goes beyond text, image or video; We believe that the virtual experiences with their multiple options of freedom and interaction are the solution that will complement the existing media taking them to a new level.

That is why today we have taken an important step. After publishing some articles and descriptions, images and videos of our works, today we launched the first free virtual experience, so you can prove for yourself what 3D Real Time brings over other media.

Real Time Render is a great tool that allow us to live experiences in a much more natural way, giving us the freedom to interact with the environment, to move freely and to pay attention to the things that interest us.

This doesn't mean at any point that other directed and closed methods as the cinema are loosing its value. Cinema allow us to transmit in a very direct way and the viewer only needs to pay attention to what we want to communicate. Right now in Moøkan we are recording video footage of our projects to offer both communication options.

Moøkan 在 Sketchfab

We love Sketchfab, and we would like to share it with you. Sketchfab is a website to share 3D models as we share video in Youtube or Vimeo. It is a light 3D engine on the web that is perfect to show 3D models and sites. It is a fantastic tool for artists and it is becoming popular also for museums, to share their collections with all the world. Some models can be downloaded to share the 3D files, so other artists can use them for their own creations.

Moøkan在汕头市

This weekend, 6th and 7th of May, we are excited to participate in the Shantou Industrial Design Mayor Cup Fair, an exhibition where the results of the First Shantou Industrial Design Competition will be showed. The city of Shantou, located in the east of Guangdong province, close to Fujian province, is well-known from its industry, a big part of it based on the copy market. Now their industrial leaders want to change that and bring design talent to the locality. One of the first’s steps is this design competition and exhibition with more than 100 designs for the future category and another 200 designs that are already being produced.

Shantou Local Industry Association have invited us to join the exhibition and collaborate with local creators with our Real Time 3D team to help them to bring their designs to reality.
