Open Objects presents Virtus Virus

We were working with stéphane Denis on the final version of Virtus Virus... the idea of OpenObjects was to deliver a new sucessful demo fo Beos driving new hardware and to use a vr glove to draw in stereoscopic 3D. Some Demos has been developped to find a business project to do : it was for virtus virus. The domain name openobjects.com was lost in 97 by error.

Think this game as the most Interactive Experience in 3D or a end of the myth of a voyage in a human body.

We are now concentrated in creating other "parts" of the game as for example a simulation of an electron into a range of Microchips.

We are working withe the Virtual I-O Glasses. It's a (affordable) stereoscopic helmet display [Real 3D with double liquid crystal screens and stereo earphones] with a 360° head tracker motion detector. It's standard PC serial and VGA Connection (!! what a luck, no specific ports...). So It was easy to connect to a Bebox and a PC (portable and desktop tower) and to have it run smoothly on a pentium 100 mhz... !! The 3d engine of Stephane Denis was able to run on every PC with good speed and several objects rendred in real time.
