VIRTUAL REALITY RESOURCES DATABASE


When I started this project a couple of years ago honestly I did it for personal purposes, since my work as a 3D Designer merited an easy way to access the increasing amount of resources that the Virtual Reality area currently has, and as a content developer it is important to be updated about the latest information.

This is how "VIRTUAL REALITY RESOURCES DATABASE" was born, which is a dynamic database of links as a collaborative open platform, in which anyone can add more information to complement it and help make it grow collectively, in this way we can have access to valuable data from easy way as well as receive the latest updates of the area subscribing for free.

VIRTUAL REALITY RESOURCES DATABASE:

According to the page statistics, for most visitors has found an ideal way to stay updated; some contribute with links hard to find, and others simply have the free information available to consult it and take advantage of it commercially. The result has been a success, and I am really pleased with the positive comments in support of this initiative, as I am proud to have been reviewed in different media as an ideal option for access and research information on the subject without commercial bias.




Not having any kind of sponsors, since I don't have any direct affiliation to the products and services that the database directly promotes, I found "Ko-fi.com" which is a website where you can buy a "cup of coffee" "to invite your favorite content creators and thus show your support being a nice way to raise funds to make it sustainable, and allow me to compensate the time invested that it requires and thus continue with its development and expansion.



Ko-fi page:

I really hope that this website is as useful to you as it has been to me, and you can join us to help develop this important collective information project.

Thank you very much for your support!

Best regards,

Marco Romero

Standalone Headset

BOBOVR X1 AIO

We are very happy and excited today, as we join the new age of "Standalone Headsets" (All in One).
This VR Headset doesn't require PC nor Smartphone. With this new hardware upgrade we are part of the experimental cutting edge technology in order to being able to extend our offer for Virtual Reality developments.

New website release!

Marco Romero 3D Design Studio website



Very excited to publish the new version of our website with HTML5 design. With this new contemporary web design we can guarantee easy access for smartphone as well as for tablets users, in order to be able to promote the development of new 3D content for this growing market.

In this first stage it's now possible to offer a better idea of our business, update the website SSL protocols, as well as to include the main related links, so grow with more strength in the market of content development for Virtual Reality.

I hope you enjoy it as much as we liked.

Mamut Skull



Good ideas are always welcome, and this is the case of a product that I have been following up on for a long time. It is a design developed in Halmstad, Sweden, where they carried out a crowfunding campaign on Kickstarter platform: The idea of "create a Protection for HTC Vive controllers".

This is the story of the new product called "Mamut Skull" developed by the new company "Geektech", which in its third revision of the prototype offers us the possibility to protect 100% the controllers of the HTC Vive virtual reality system. The great merit of this design is to have achieved a wide area of protection without obstructing the multiple infrared sensors with a millimeter precision, so as not to interrupt the location of the controls in the virtual space, as well as internal deformation areas that allows cushion for shocks.

It is a fact that the Vive controllers are very well designed, but it is inevitable to find yourself in a situation where the space is not large enough to perform the VR immersion and hit some object (especially if you are a VR developer). In order to be able to protect an investment like this, my first attempt was with the Hyperkin Silicone Protectors, which honestly proved good for the case of the HMD, as its surface prevents the headset from sliding on the desk (since they are innumerable times you put it on and take it off) avoiding the possibility of danger of falling, however regarding the controllers, although it offer an excellent insulation to the sweat or any liquid that can spill, after more than 3 months of use I consider that the only disadvantage is to reduce the tactile sensitivity for the multiple buttons and shock protection is not complete.

Early February this year 2017, "Mamut Skull" protectors are available to the American public through Amazon online store in the United States, which fortunately I have been able to purchase (and having tried to "fit in" on the Hyperkin silicone protectors) I could verify that it is perfectly designed to fit over the whole controllers surface.

Facebook Page



For all my Facebook friends:

I have been a user of this social network since 2008, and given the recent changes in the terms of service of the platform, I created a Facebook page with the main intention be able to separate my personal profile with my work.

This is my best effort to continue sharing with you the news of my work and I hope you like it as much as me.

Hardware upgrade 02/2017: Inateck - 7-Port USB 3.0 PCI-E Card

http://maromero3d.blogspot.com/2017/02/inateck-7-port-usb-30-pci-e-card.html

Inateck - 7-Port USB 3.0 PCI-E Card KTU3FR-5O2UThis PCI-E USB 3.0 port extension card uses the FL1100EX chipset (Fresco Logic) component that has proven to be ideal for heavy data transfer at high speed, as well as properly powered connections for Oculus and HTC Vive headset for Virtual Reality.

It could checked the amperage fluctuation of the USB 3.0 ports power of the card, and was confirmed the proper increase of the data transfer amperage correctly on a Kingston DataTraveler Ultimate 3.0 G3. The USB tester used don't allow the maximum speed, just for check the amperage.
