Reddit ImgUr Explorer, made for the VR devices.
Try it out on the internets (really needs VR-enabled browser, but eh...)
Loads subreddit ImgUrl images as a 3d gallery. You can use it in a normal ol' browser, but it doesn't feel like you're browsing the future: so go get a Rift and a browser with VR support - see MozVR.com or Chrome builds.
Controls:
/ to enter typing mode. Type a subreddit and hit enter.
WSAD: Move
Arrows: Rotate
Q/E: Up 'n down
Space: Remove an obelisk.
Enter: When you are looking at a "/r/<subreddit>" obelisk, loads the subreddit.
Z: reset VR sensor.
- The base code (things in /lib: VRManager, VREffect etc) is from the Sechelt demo
- If data isn't loading, make sure you aren't ad-blocking/anti-tracking reddit. Firefox is blocking reddit api calls by default
- mouse looks left/right (same as arrow keys)
- R should reset sensor (not Z, or and Z)
- typing doesn't disable movment
- making shadows
- handle imgur galleries
- stagger image loading (tonnes of requests is slow in firefox)
- non-square images
- downscale big images (not even needed for Oculus rez)
- faster moving. Double-tap-to-run, or shift run.
