Boston TechJam 2015 - Showing Oculus Rift with View and Data API

Hey! I will be down at the local Boston TechJam 2015 later today. We were asked to demo Oculus Rift and will show a sample running the Autodesk View and Data API.Stop by and introduce yourself if you are in town. :-)

I will be sharing some links and am posting them here:

Autodesk public Virtual Reality research includes these sites, that are using the View and Data API Large Model Viewer:

• Anyone can use the http://vr.autodesk.io  site with your own device
  • google cardboard, yay3d, etc.
  • Another one under development/research is http://vrok.it
  • General info on View and Data API is here:
    http://developer.autodesk.com and http://developer-autodesk.github.io/

• We have a prototype AutoCAD plugin sample for viewing solids in Oculus: http://adndevblog.typepad.com/autocad/2015/03/integrating-autocad-with-oculus-rift-dk2.html
  
  
• There is a 3^rd Party Maya plugin for Oculus. http://moculus.io/index.php

• 3ds Max and Maya both have stereo cameras, so may be possible to bring into Oculus. Not time to research the best approach here yet.
