Sketch!

I fucked up the capture aspect ratio/clipping so most of the video doesn't really show what am doing 🙃

I've tried this once before using the Vive camera but seeing my head move in real life and in VR at the same time made me feel EXTREMELY BAD. Stationary webcam is much more comfortable.

I used OVRdrop to add a window with my webcam feed into SteamVR. You can also add your desktop with any app - I've also painted with Photoshop, for example. Its on sale right now!

As someone a long way from home it's really nice being able to visit and hang out in my favourite places this way!

@lizaledwards @codinghorror Thank you for sharing this. I just showed it to my daughter (who loves to draw) and her head exploded. She wants to do this immediately.

@BrandonWatson @codinghorror That's amazing! I hope she gets to try it :)

@lizaledwards So cool! Does the perspective difference of webcam view impact your drawing ability?

@kevinakwok Yes haha it makes it a lot more difficult - low resolution, big disconnect between eye and hand. I just had to accept that the sketch would be very wobbly!

@lizaledwards Could you imagine this would work for typing?

@PhilipKrejov It would work

@lizaledwards @failnaut 🤩 well I know what I'm doing today

@ryguygames @failnaut Awesome!!

@lizaledwards @sarah_edo I can’t figure out how the little square of reality down below is working, it’s weird. But very cool idea and I dig the sketch!

@ruminasean @sarah_edo Its my webcam feed added into SteamVR with OVRdrop :)

@lizaledwards @BelgianBoolean Does street view VR give you stereo vision?

@EctoSage @BelgianBoolean Sadly no. It feels more natural sketching in VR with 3d games, but there are so many amazing places to visit in Google Earth it makes up for it.

@lizaledwards @SonOfSunTzu Amazing. Also, Is that the York Minster?

@HishamElfar @SonOfSunTzu Yes it is!!
