Vuzix iWear VR920 HMD Head Tracking in Quake 4 VR - Virtual Reality -

Demo of Quake 4 using the VR920 HMD and Wireless Xbox 360 Receiver/Controller.

Thanks for your interest!

The video I posted shows use of the VR920 HMD for head tracking in Quake 4 on PC. (Not Xbox 360)

The HMD is connected and configured with my Alienware Aurora m9700 (laptop).

I connect the PC to the TV with a DVI to HDMI cable. (So everyone can watch)

I connect the PC audio with a digital audio cable to a surround sound receiver.

I use the Wireless Xbox 360 Receiver/Controller (Requires 1 USB port on PC).

I sync the Xbox 360 controller to the Receiver and run JoyToKey.

I use a keyboard emulator for joysticks called JoyToKey to assign keyboard keys to the any button on the controller I wish. I can also use the analog joysticks to move or look (Use look only to turn around when the HMD cord runs out).

I connect and calibrate the HMD with the Vuzix iWear software. (Requires 1 USB port and VGA port on PC)

I install Quake 4.

I add the files provided by Vuzix required to enable the HMD into the Quake 4 install directory.

I add Quake 4 to enabled titles list with the iWear monitor.

I configure my primary display to the VR920 and clone to the TV.

I start Quake 4. (requires one time configure of game controls to JoyToKey profile)

Enable VR headtracking or 3D. (I found with 3D enabled video fps is lower)

VR AT IT'S BEST SO FAR!!!

I also was able to get the same setup to work with Doom 3 and Microsoft Flight Simulator X!!!

does it look like u walk inside the game are does it look like ur looking at a tv screen

[MasterGSX]

@vality1 Equivalent to a 62” screen viewed at 9 feet.



[dutchcrimesNL]

can you play cod black ops in 3d on the xbox?

and if not is there a pair of glasses that do and in HD please answer my q :)

[MasterGSX]

@dutchcrimesNL Negative... Head-tracking only on PC. (Not Xbox 360) 

[GamerGuyM]

so do you aim with your head then?

[MasterGSX]

@GamerGuyM I'm aiming with my head.

[IronthroneGames]

@561PAY : No, they don't give the feeling of being immersed within the game. Even the Wrap 1200VR Vuzix have poor image quality and it feels like you're looking at a small headmounted screen instead of actually being inside the game.

Hey man, nice video. Question:

I know they say that the glasses look like you're watching a 62-inch screen from 9 feet away but if that is the case then why are they even worth buying? I have a 50" tv so how are these different?

My real question is... do these glasses really give you the effect of being "immersed" in the game you're playing or does it just feel like you're looking at a screen in the distance? Do you think these glasses immerse the player enough to be used in a VR application?

[auswolf350]

Can you adjust the sensitivity so you don't have to twist your neck around like that? Maybe increase the ingame sensitivity?

[Rai0fighter]

@rapelpecho im not sure about these glasses but the Wrap 920 also from vuzix support 3D and head tracking:)

@MasterGSX

Or with some virtual reality shoes or walking paths so you can really walk and shoot? Do you have any idea? Thanks in advance.

[agentJekov]

@MasterGSX

Hi, can you combine these glasses with some other articles like gloves or some kind of a gun, so you can walk freely without using the controller?

[rapelpecho]

now they need to make head aiming vr glasses with 3d

[VortexCortex31337]

@GamerSwag There is no "other 9 feet", the world is in the entire view area. The screen width is as if viewing ~60in screen from 9ft, but it looks like walls, enemies, etc are right next to you, or farther away, Projectiles fly right at you, just like 3D cinema, but even better.

[GamerSwag]

whats in the other 9 feet you are viewing from and how do you move and shoot,with a controller?

[Sjark92]

Would it be possible with an wireless adapter?

So that you can move around a lot easier,
