James this is absolutely insane and I love it so much. Keep doing what you are doing, seeing you push the N64 to way beyond what anyone possibly expects it to do is just so cool. My 8 year old N64 obsessed self would be losing his mind seeing this stuff. It reminds me of when Sega was talking about launching a VR Headset for the Mega Drive/Genesis. Seeing you pull this off and get an N64 rendering two cameras for VR is just so wild. If I ever meet you I am going to buy you a beer big fella.

For those wondering how it looks: pull the video up on your phone or other relatively small screen at 7:30. Put a piece of paper or something in the middle to block the other eye from seeing. Get as close as you can to the phone and try focusing far away, and the two eyes will merge and you got some 3D. It's not bad at all for N64, very blurry though! That would have been crazy in the 90s / early 2000s!

There are a few things here that might make the framerate usable 1) batching, by only copying an object to the RDP onece and rendering it the two times needed, it lowers the ram bus cost per draw call. 2) Alternate eye rendering, There's 0 chance of a decent reprojection algorithm running on an N64, so an ok alternative is to render 1 eye 1 frame and re-use it the next. Halving the per eye framerate but also halveing the horizontal resolution needed and draw calls. Overall for vr, it's recommended to use the resolution mode that gets closest to your target framerate
@crimson-foxtwitch2581

AER relies on reprojection-adjacent shit anyway and also is built upon the assumption that the game will already be running at a high enough framerate to minimize artifacts, so it is not viable in the slightest.

As a daily VR user today, its rather awesome to see that same tech being powered by my childhood console. Given modern VR tends to need at least 80 to 90 FPS to prevent motion sickness in the average player, I pre-emptively winced when you said you could only poll every 60 frames and render even less! Still a very impressive tech demo, and that artwork looks lush! Can't wait to see more of your original title!

Very cool experiment! My thought on making the sensor fusion more responsive is that you might be able to do more to mix the gyro with the accelerometer. That is, instead of applying the smoothing directly to the trauma from the accelerometer, you could apply the transform implied by the gyro reading to the existing gravity vector estimate, and then smooth the current reading with the transformed version of the prior estimate. That seems like it should retain the smoothing effect for the gravity vector, but reduce the damping it applies to head rotations. It might also let you get away with a slightly lower damping factor. Just a thought. Very cool work! I do think people really underestimate how immersive VR can be even at low resolutions like this.

Oops! KZitem isn't letting me edit the comment, but I'm not sure how "trauma" got in there. Phone keyboards are sometimes mysterious. I think it was meant to be "input," "data," or "vector"? None of those is close to the swipe path for "trauma," though, so I'm really confused how that ended up there.

Just thought I'd let you know.
