*Sigh* What else I can blog about other than the stuffs that have security topics in them as well as the events I may have to blog about whether they are online or outside, not to mention the previous stuffs I had purchased? I have already attended tons of IT events related to my interests like I had been exploring the entire place full of technological stuffs at Singapore Expo. So much that there's really not much to say about all of that as I already have the knowledge of new brands, new kinds of products and technologies and really, what else I can say about that?
The new stuffs so far for this event I had stumbled upon were the RealSense 3D from Intel which is kind of like the Kinect except it's part of the device. Like the 3D cameras, the RealSense 3D has multiple camera lens that allow for multiple layers like I thought of the similar concept of classic games redone on the 3DS. It's just the same stuffs but with multiple layers. But it depends on whichever classic game you play on which the 2D layers may become the 3D planes or not. There are some special apps that will allow you to remove specific layers like some objects in front you don't want in the photo. Of course, there's no stereoscopy stuff like that whatsoever as if the photo is divided into two camera angles. No, it isn't like that. It's just the photo divided into multiple layers. For the games using RealSense 3D, there was some unknown casual game that was being done using your hand. You can't use two hands at the same time as I was told. You're supposed to use your hand to escort the warriors to the exit. But be warned, there are obstacles in the way as well as other stuffs you need to do like getting the keys to open the doors. Anything destroyed or something like that will result in an incomplete level. App stores using RealSense? Who knows? I don't know if that game is on smartphones and tablets before being shown at Singapore Expo with the use of RealSense technology. Keep in mind that the RealSense technology is still under development and we may expect improvements like multiple distances from the device to choose from as the only way to play properly would be to come near the device which was obviously not useful for other game genres.
The next one is the Samsung Galaxy Gear VR that was shown in the same place as well and just like RealSense 3D, certain special apps make use of that accessory for VR gaming. It was handy sitting down and turning the chair and your head around, dodging and shooting at things in space. But when it comes to the first-person or third-person spaceship shooter with full manual controls, it can be a difficult thing to implement in the VR itself other than using your body to turn the ship around which kind of works. But you know what works with VR and body control, a 360 degree ground rail-shooter where you're wearing the VR on your head and standing around with the wireless gun controller shooting at things. It's kind of like those games on 3DS where you turn around while holding it. It should be handy enough for VR arcade gaming but who's going to come up with the idea like that?
Lastly, the recommendation message is changed to have Windows 10 for the computers instead of Windows 8 or 8.1 like "(Manufacturer name) recommends Windows 8.1" to "(Manufacturer name) recommends Windows 10" for instance.
