rFactor 2’s brand new DirectX 11 beta has just been out for a few hours and Marcel Pfister has already given it his famous “Mixed Reality” treatment.
In his newest video below, we get to watch a historic Formula One race at Monaco using rFactor 2’s brand new virtual reality support, including a vicious crash.
What is Mixed Reality?
It??s a way to record and show gameplay to serve a better understanding of how it feels to use Virtual Reality. It uses a greenscreen to later blend out the room you are playing in and instead blending in the virtual environment life or in video editing. So it??s only a way to show to the viewers, while playing i can??t see my wheel and real hands. So it??s not like Augmented Reality, which will maybe come in a few years and will look similar. The quality looks worse than it is while playing, because i record in 1080p, but have t stretch and crop the footage to a part of one eye, which results in a resolution less than 720p.
