DC Entertainment Bringing Batman Experience To Gear VR and Oculus Rift

Posted by samzenpus on from the take-a-look-around dept.

muterobert writes It's been announced that Warner Bros., DC Entertainment, and OTOY are collaborating to recreate the iconic Batcave from Batman: The Animated Series in virtual reality for Samsung Gear VR and Oculus Rift. OTOY is providing what they call "holographic video" technology to render the scene in a way that's true to the Batcave of the classic 90s show.

  1. Google Cardboard? by jeffmflanagan · · Score: 2

    It would be cooler if it would work with a regular smart-phone and google-cardboard. The cardboard version would overheat my phone, but a plastic version of the cardboard design is able to produce VR that's much more effective than I expected without enclosing the phone and creating a heat problem.

    I bought this one, which lacks the magnet required by some VR apps, but works with most Android VR apps. I have not tried it with an iPhone. http://www.amazon.com/gp/produ...

    I also picked up a bluetooth game controller and some NFC tags to complete the package http://www.amazon.com/gp/produ... http://www.amazon.com/gp/produ...

    It's a fun setup to play around with until OR is released.
