Owlchemy Labs is well known in the virtual reality industry for creating the highly regarded Job Simulator VR game. Owlchemy was the first developer to show a working Vive title to the press, and one of the first developers to dabble with mixed reality video. Now the company is pioneering in-engine tools for mixed reality recording.
In early October, Owlchemy Labs gave a sneak peak of a custom shader and plugin that it created that allows the developer to import footage captured by a depth camera directly into the Unity engine. The custom plugin allowed the developer to composite the mixed reality scene without third party software. It also allowed for proper depth compensation, as well as the ability to reach behind in-game objects.
The creative minds at Owlchemy Labs weren?t satisfied with just importing 3D video into the rendered scene, though. They spent the past six weeks adding useful and innovative features to the OwlchemyVR Mixed Reality toolkit.
