The 40th Annual Computer Graphics and Technology convention ‘SIGGRAPH’ kicks off on the 21st of July. A new video showcasing some of the technologies due to be displayed have implications for Virtual Reality.
Demonstrating the Future since 1974
Since 1974, SIGGRAPH have been at the forefront of demonstrating new Computer Generated Visuals and associated technologies to the industry and public at large. A new video just released by the consortium highlights interesting new developments which could be used in the future to enhance and evolve Virtual Reality interactive experiences.
Of particular interest are developments such as HapSeat, a new low-cost haptic feedback system designed to involve the player’s physical being in an interactive experience and AIRREAL, a system that blows tiny pockets of directed air-flow at the user to simulate objects hitting or passing them.
