Hmm…WPF VIewport3D or Unity 3D rendering. Being able to build a simple-ish windows program rather than something that requires a VR headset does have a sort of charm. Hit testing mouse clicks into the 3D view could be interesting. Choices, choices. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I expect to bump around here a bit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I really like having the GPU handle display list rendering for me and then being able to change the world while the hardware handles keeping the user’s view consistent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Seems like it may be worth playing with Unity VR, Unity on a monitor, WPF 3D viewports and perhaps even MFC hosting OpenGL or DIrect3D (Vulkan?). If I can make this stuff work it should prove helpful in many places. Making it work in a more general purpose environment (mostly meaning not Unity) seems alluring as it permits tools to be built with full access to native APIs and facilities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I think this gives me a direction to head off in that is interesting. I’ll probably still start with a Unity VR implementation as that gives the most ‘bang for the buck’ and should be fun to play with.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
