This looks interesting. Check it out on Kickstarter.
Why get a virtual reality headset that only allows you to passively receive visual and audio inputs when you can get one that is able to track your facial expression and interpret your very emotions?
Compatible with all your Apple’s IOS and Android devices, and offering revolutionary features never before introduced in virtual reality: Veeso is the most advanced VR Headset ever built for the mobile market!
With built-in face tracking cameras and sensor capable of capturing the users facial expressions and emotions and transferring them in real time into the digital world – Veeso approach to Virtual Reality is a revolution.
A first of its kind, our headset and software allow users to not only communicate with one another in VR; but to emote.
Not only will you be able to access and play with the thousands of virtual reality games and content available on the market; here are a few of the innovations that Veeso will bring to the VR world:
At this stage, Veeso is a functioning prototype, capable of capturing a variety of user’s facial expressions through the two cameras pointed at the eyes/eyebrows and mouth/jaw.
Our headset is then able to communicate the tracking data to the mobile device, via Bluetooth; with the mobile device then only having to render the given inputs into a selected 3D avatar, in real time.
For usability testing, in this demonstration we use a power cable to power the headset processor; but the final product that will be available to you will come with an integrated battery pack and be fully wireless.
As shown in the video, both the tracking technology and the avatar interpretation are still not perfect, and further work will be needed in order to have the technology be able to adapt to every typology of the face; but we have encouraging results, and with your support we will achieve the desired goal.
The essence of VR is that inclusive relationship between the participant and the virtual environment, where the direct immersion, contact, and interaction amongst other people become an experience that, although fantastical, feel more real than reality.
There is always a risk in building hardware, such as potential unexpected delays in materials or some other errors that may occur . Developing a product is a complex combination of engineering tasks, working within a manufacturer’s capacity, coordinating the availability of parts, and making sure they get delivered on time to the manufacturer.
Delays can occur at any stage in the process: from sourcing components to factory test runs, and manufacturing runs. Therefore we’ll ask for your patience and offer all the support we can.
We, however, believe to have taken all appropriate steps to minimize the risks of a delayed shipment and feel very confident in our ability to keep our word on delivering all products on the promised timeline.
We will be in communication with you every step of the way and alert you to any unexpected challenges.
Sincerely,
The Veeso Team
