“Competing cameras that use stereo imaging may only provide two infrared pictures, rather than dense 3D geometry. 'Racket: NX' Studio Reveals Mech Fighting Game 'UNDERDOGS', Coming to Quest Early 2024 Wang notes that a stereo camera approach is necessarily locked to one IPD when it comes to viewing the outside environment. The point cloud can even be shared and visualized by other users for multiplayer / social VR experiences.” “The 3D point cloud of the real world is rendered exactly at the right scale and location in VR-regardless of your IPD. “Our camera captures a dense 3D point cloud every 20 milliseconds that can be used to bring not only hands, but arms, legs, and even your desk into VR,” Rob Wang, co-founder of Nimble VR, told me. This allows the camera to capture a 3D model of the environment. An IR camera with a 110 degree field of view senses the light as it bounces off the environment and uses the known speed of light to work out the distance to discrete points in the environment. Nimble Sense uses an infrared laser to create a pulse of invisible light which illuminates the environment surrounding the user. And while Nimble Sense doesn’t at first appear to be much different than Leap Motion, the company says they’re using ‘time-of-flight’ depth sensing technology, like what’s used in the Kinect 2, which they say has unique benefits. Today Nimble VR launches a Kickstarter campaign for Nimble Sense, a natural input controller that the company says was designed for virtual reality input.
