A cool idea for the future of flowlab

Using raycaster and accelerometer examples grazer made but the block is a camera it would make vr movement

I like the idea, but you should probably put this on the feature request section (unless I’m dumb, I don’t know if this is one)

This is something that could be achieved

so yes, it should be in a feature request because then you have a better chance of getting answered.

5

Feature requests is something that should be added not for the achieveable

6

Wait are you talking about making a 1st person game?

7

Yes

8

There are already examples of that

9

Like I said VR and I already mentioned that

10

Vr depends on head movement not key movement

11

I don’t think this is achievable on flowlab

12

There is an accelerometer example made by grazer (:man_facepalming:) and it tracks the phone accelerometer and makes the block fall down on the phone screen

13

Now replace that block with a camera combined with raycaster

14

Can you send the link to it?

Ah okay I understand now. Also, maybe this should be the example page?

Accelerometer only detects change in motion, not coordinates. You will need accelerometer, gyroscope, magnetometer (or IMU) to pull off accurate VR experiences.

The lack of magnetometer data will mean the data can be prone to drift after enough movement/shaking. But with that in mind, it is somewhat possible to do VR with flowlab but where you will have to sit in one spot and look around.

Well I mentioned this in OTC (or somewhere else): Controller movement, the VR is for sights, the movement is a controller.
