Trinus VR and Linux?

Trinus VR and Linux?

Postby Dave_H » 05 Sep 2017, 14:36

I recently bought a high end Nibiru VR headset. At the time I knew nothing about Trinus VR, and really just planned to use it as a monitor. Then I found out about Trinus VR which allows you to play PC games taking advantage of full 360 VR in Windows. Now, I don't have a single computer that runs any flavor of Windows (every one of my computers runs Linux Mint), and really have no desire for one, but I would really like to use Trinus VR to run FlightGear and X-Plane. Is there any hope on the horizon? Please tell me I won't have to do an alt-boot for Windoze!

Well. I was trying to make something near to this (because I have a vr cardboard):

https://github.com/mdtrooper/oasis_diy

My first step was to stream with a low latency as video with audio a piece or zone of desktop....but the tests was very slow.

The next steps will be a make a android apk for to get the video stream and send the sensors data (acelerometers and others).

But I haven't worked in this project more.

Well, you can help me :)

For a streaming kind of solution you could probably build on top of this new 3D video support for VLC:

OpenTrack also already supports using the smartphone sensors for head-tracking:
https://github.com/opentrack/opentrack/ ... adtracking

I would overscan the streamed video a bit, so that latency will be less noticable, as the 3D videoplayer can pan on the video stream with no latency while the actual sensor data pans the video in the "background".

Somebody thinks the same thing as me, moonlight + cardboard = Virtual Monitor...I need to study it.

Cardboard is actually fully open-source now, so that might be a promising way forward. The only problem I see is that last time I checked the Nvidia Linux drivers didn't support streaming to moonlight, or did that change?

Sorry. I could't check it. But the last year a jobmate did streaming for playing with Raspberry Pi but I don't remember which software.
