Lucid VR brings 3D cameras for Virtual Reality to the masses
Lucid VR develops 3D 180-degree VR cameras that amps up Virtual Reality (VR) content creation by adding 3D stereoscopic imaging to a VR video capture at a price point that makes VR cameras available to the masses. Videos from Lucid VR cameras can be viewed immediately after capture on a cell phone or any Virtual Reality headset. Further, using the camera requires little effort … [Read more...]
NVIDIA’s Pascal GPUs spell the end of ‘offload mode is required’ for accelerators
Today at the 2016 GPU Technology Conference in San Jose, NVIDIA CEO Jen-Hsun Huang announced the first of a new line of Pascal architecture GPUs- the P100. Jen-Hsun noted that the P100 GPUs are in volume production now, but the initial production runs have already been purchased. Consumers should look to first run on the P100 GPUs in the cloud. While Jen-Hsun's keynote focused … [Read more...]
