Lost (by Oculus Studio) review

I tried Lost, a little movie by Oculus studio. And this is its little review. Oculus Studio is the content branch of Oculus and it is capable of making awesome things like Henry, the animation short movie telling the story of a cute hedgehog.

So today I was very happy to try Lost, hoping that it was as awesome as Henry (or as Senza Peso). In my opinion it is not. It’s just a little animation movie that is quite nice and nothing more. There is not a true story: only a situation that makes you curious and that gets solved in the end. You’re in the forest and there is a strange robot making strange stuff. In the end, you understand what this robot is and what it was waiting for. Then the video ends and you’re like

Radiant Images offers a portable system to record Gaussian Splat videos

I’m intrigued by Gaussian Splat videos because they have the potential to bring a person in front of you, as if he/she were really there. Combined with mixed reality, they can really make you feel like an idol of yours is there, at home with you. That’s why I was happy when, at AWE, I […]
