There is huge potential for Virtual Reality in eSports

There is huge potential for Virtual Reality in eSports
Virtual reality has fast become an international sensation. The overall investments from game companies going into eSports is huge.

Imagine the possibilities virtual reality has to offer  eSport viewers. Imagine placing on the VR headset and being a part of the game without a need to be in the crowd. The viewer able to see and experience action in the game even better than the pro player. The spectator able to see what the pro player sees and more. The spectator can switch between pro players and see what all the players sees, watching what each pro is looking at and what he is doing. This is the same for the game itself; imagine if you placed on your VR headset and you could be able to cycle between different players, in games like Dota 2, Overwatch, League of Legends or Counter Strike, switching between the action so you can watch what you wanted to watch live.

VR headsets are cheap and can even made from cardboard and two inexpensive lenses and a smart phone. VR could, and I believe it will, take eSport viewing to whole new level. And that is just from the audience perspective. Once eSport Pro Players start usign VR technology to immerse themselves deeper into these competitive games it will take the esport pro circuit to whole new standard of gameplay.

eSport competitive first person games like Overwatch and Counterstike will most likely lead the VR immersion trend, because FPS lends it self to the VR experience point of view. eSport games like Hearthstone will not really benefit from the VR experience because it is essentially a 2D card game.

Watch this space. A revolution in gaming has already begun.

STAR CITIZEN & VIRTUAL REALITY

STAR CITIZEN & VIRTUAL REALITY: WHAT MIGHT THE FUTURE LOOK LIKE?

Opinionated Discussion

In the second episode of our new discussion series, Mark and I look at virtual reality and what it could add to Star Citizen, how both might develop together, and how we see VR tech evolving.

Star Citizen VR – Let’s Talk Virtual Reality

The Star Citizen on The DK2
So at the moment VR isn’t natively supported by Star Citizen but there are a few way to bodge it to work. The most usable & less buggy at the moment imo being VorpX which emulates the the VR / 3d wrapping & gives you a variety of options & features to make the experience more enjoyable or at least user friendly. I’ll link to all the appropriate settings in the description for anyone that is interested in giving it a try. And if it looks like I am talking in the video behind well I am recording this audio over it as it was half and hour of me saying… oooooh that’s pretty.

STAR CITIZEN FOCUSING ON VR

IGN: STAR CITIZEN FOCUSING ON VR

And they've got original Crytek VR folks on the job.

BY NICOLE CARPENTER Virtual reality support for Star Citizen will "get up to speed" in early 2016, says CEO Chris Roberts.

In a December livestream by Roberts Space Industries—and transcribed on RoadtoVR—Roberts says that the goal is to have VR support for all major VR headsets.

The development team has been focusing heavily on releasing Alpha 2.0, leaving VR implementation in the background. According to RoadtoVR, some parts of Star Citizen do have support for the Rift DK1, but the game has not caught up to more recent developments in VR technology.

"It’s a little more complicated because we’ve changed the engine so much," Roberts says. "We’ve changed the rendering pipeline to enable us to do a lot of things that we need to do so it’s not very easy."

Roberts and Cloud Imperium Games certainly have the money to step up Star Citizen's VR support, as the game surpassed $100 million in its crowdfunding campaign in December.

The VorpX profile exists on the cloud for you to import. 

It’s listed as Star Citizen2 (GeraldEvans)

Star Citizen 2.3.1 in the Oculus Rift



UPDATE:
This only works with Windows 8.1 or Windows 10. On versions before that the VorpX Desktop Viewer will not be an option.
I’ve changed my custom resolution to 1080 × 1100. This has the effect of making the chin piece of the helmet more noticeable. YMMV but otherwise I was having to switch to third-person before going through the airlock to ensure I wasn’t about to suffocate.
Alternately change your FoV to 85 (default is 65) with the user.cfg and your chin piece will be more noticeable.
You will need to use zoom (mouse wheel or rebind) to read displays if you change the FoV
Create a 1080 × 1200 resolution in your computer’s advanced display settings or in the Nvidia Control Panel (or AMD Crimson). This is the native per-eye resolution and forces HUD conformity.
Right click the desktop
Open Nvidia control panel
Select ‘Change Resolution’
Below the list of available resolutions select Customize
On the next window Create Custom Resolution
Select 1080 wide and 1200 tall with a refresh to match your display and 32 bit depth
Do not put in a refresh rate faster than 90 Hz as this will cause HMD flickering
Apply and Confirm (Create the res only. Do not set your Monitor to this res)
The results: http://imgur.com/a/VNJuu
Set VorpX Control Panel to your HMD and check these boxes:
Use Built in Audio Device
Enable Head Tracking
Enable Head Tracking Roll
Show Start Message
Enable Expert Settings
Run as Administrator
Do Not Show Start Page
Select Cloud Profiles
In the bottom right of the window, register / login to your free account
Search and select the Cloud Profile "Star Citizen (GeraldEvans)"
Make sure that in the system tray the VorpX Watcher is paused and the Desktop Viewer is not running
Run the SC Launcher and Launch Live or PTU (follow the instructions below per build)
Once in the SC menu, select graphics "Fullscreen = No" and resolution to 1080 × 1200 (This will force the HUD to conform to your HMD)
Resume the VorpX watcher
Start the VorpX Desktop viewer
Put on your HMD
TAB back to Star Citizen
Select your destination
Once loading, press DEL and turn Virtual Cinema Mode OFF if you had it ON for menu navigation
Walk forward immediately upon spawning. Sometimes not doing this can cause head tracking to fail.
Jump in a ship
Double-Tap LEFT ALT to toggle freelook

Unbind Mouse for both Flight Movement and Flight Targetting in the advanced controls keybinding section of SC
Do Not toggle Freelook (with Z)

If you’ve set your base stations to power down when not in use make certain you wake them up prior to running Vorpx
If your HMD doesn’t show anything, disable secondary / tertiary monitors

Set your custom resolution to 960 × 1080 to match the native per-eye resolution of the DK2
