Onshape VR

john_mcclary

Oculus Rift just had an update recently, Now we can pull windows open on our desktop into the 3D world.

So naturally the first thing I try is pulling in a few Onshape windows

I am doing everything from the touch controllers, so it's a little weird. But if you can touch type, then you can use your keyboard and mouse like normal, and just have a few big screens

Back when I got my rift, I had to sacrifice a monitor, my computer couldn't handle all this video.
It was painful to work on one monitor again. So this is freaking awesome.

It looks choppy at times, but that is just my computer trying to mirror everything I see through the headset and then record/encode it. So in the headset it is smooth and works fine.

So, Onshape, if you decide to do a VR app.. I'll be first in line for testing

Hard to tell from video, but Imagine those windows are 15feet tall

Well it's about damn time, "useful" VR has been just around the corner for the last 25 years.

I'm sure I saw an Onshape augmented reality email a little while ago.

BTW @john_mcclary, I blame you if nothing gets done at Onshape HQ on Monday. Any employee who hasn't tried this will be bugging their manager to authorise a VR "evaluation" rig in the office...

Thanks for posting, this is going to be great.

The email was for magic leap and Onshape (with editing)

we can expect soon they be able to digitize pro user consciousness right inside new tab for best perfomance, I would name it - mind studio)

@owen_sparks @john_mcclary I'm really afraid about you guyes

john_mcclary

Maybe you should just free your mind and assimilate with us, resistance is useless...

owen_sparks

I need a CAM programme...

...Have you looked in the App Store?

I work at Logitech, we have some VR keyboard devkits, example: https://blog.vive.com/us/2017/11/02/introducing-the-logitech-bridge-sdk/

I've not tried OnShape in

The Magic Leap AR demo is nice!

owen_sparks

That looks like a great idea. 

Also need identifiers for coffee mugs, it's too easy to knock them over.

pretty cool, but it's HTC

You can have a look on this prototype. It's a Hololens Augmented Reality viewer (may be editor one day...) :

It could easily be compiled for targets like HTC Vive, Steam VR, Windows Mixed Reality headsets and Oculus Rift.

I bet OnShape will work on the Oculus Quest, which is wireless and $400. Can stream from PC with Virtual Desktop, or even use directly in the Quest's browser..  I'll have to test it out.

Would it be possible to see OnShape as a webxr app for oculus quest? That would be amazing

I'm probably the only one here with a Pimax but the idea of using it to do my actual job gets me just a little (extremely) excited.

Ryan_McClelland

Yeah, Pimax is rare, but SteamVR headsets all use the same software. I have an Index and Vive Pro Eye.
