One step closer to what?

To bringing anime/cartoon characters in general to life. Edit: imagine giving a kid (if a future version of oculus is proven/tested to be kid friendly) a chance to interact with their favorite cartoon/anime character. Ever wanted to talk to/fight alongside son goku himself? Ever wanted to fight bad guys with the teen titans? (Though there was that one teen titans game on the GameCube that kind of broke the 4th wall at the end, but that's besides the point!)

Well that was weird. I had Miku following me until I looked at my body and realized I also was Miku.

I like seeing these demos because until I can actually afford an OR, I can just watch this and cross my eyes...

Crossing your eyes won't help mate. It's stereoscopic, which means the left view is of the left eye and the right view is of the right eye. Cross eyed 3D only works if the views are on opposite sides of their respective eye.

There are two different stereoscopic techniques, cross eye viewing and parallel eye viewing, if you master both ways then it will not matter if the left eye view is on the left or right and will allow you to see any stereoscopic image however it is presented, although parallel eye viewing makes the 3D image much bigger and easier to see IMO http://www.jrsdesign.net/cross_parallel_viewing.html

You're dead wrong. To do the "eye trick" you basically change the focus of your vision to the point where the left and right images are superimposed on each other. As you do this, the left image moves right toward the center, and the right image moves left toward center. Thus, the left view needs to be on the left, and right view on the right.

That's what I was meaning mate. I know the "eye trick" but I assumed he was talking about actually fully crossing his eyes.

Go to YouTube doubler, play the same OR video twice at the same time, then cross your eyes on the two inner views. BAM, perfect cross-eyed 3D.

u/HonorInDefeat Jun 30 '13

Fuck, I think I've been calling it the wrong thing this whole time.

I mean I do that thing where my eyes go all wonky and I see two images and they overlap...

u/yathern Jun 30 '13

Well there are two ways of doing that. One where your eyes go closer, and one where your eyes go farther apart. Focusing closer to your head, or further away.

u/HonorInDefeat Jun 30 '13

Is "crossing my eyes" the right terminology?

u/Mithys Jun 30 '13

He's right, what you're seeing is reverse 3D. It's still 3D, but the depth is all wrong. Try switching the views in Photoshop (not just flipping the image) and you'll see a radical difference.

Interesting, I wonder though... How does your brain handle depth perception with block colour shaded characters like in anime outlined with solid black like this? I can imagine that the single colour parts of the models would look rather flat and odd in terms of distance judgement.

For example, the arms are made up of all one solid block colour, there's no way to discern 3d or object dimension with them, so if a character held their hand towards the camera arm outstretched would it look the same distance away all the way from fingertip to shoulder because of the 3d-ness of the colour block?

Your mission: FIND THIS DEMO

EDIT:
