<br>
I work at the Centre for eResearch at the University of Auckland, New<br>
Zealand. We have an HTC Vive and have already had some researchers<br>
provide datasets for me to produce visualisations within the Vive,<br>
using Unity.<br>
<br>
Take a look at:<br>
<br>
<a href="https://github.com/UoA-eResearch/MolecularVive" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://github.com/UoA-<wbr>eResearch/MolecularVive</a> - PDB Molecule viewer<br>
<a href="https://github.com/UoA-eResearch/river_vive" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://github.com/UoA-<wbr>eResearch/river_vive</a> - Photogrammetry of a<br>
river near New Zealand's East Cape<br>
<a href="https://github.com/UoA-eResearch/early_universe" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://github.com/UoA-<wbr>eResearch/early_universe</a> - A visualisation of<br>
energy density of the early universe<br>
<a href="https://github.com/UoA-eResearch/PhotosphereViewer" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://github.com/UoA-<wbr>eResearch/PhotosphereViewer</a> - Experience what<br>
it's like to stand in my office :P<br>
<br>
In each case I've provided an x64 Windows build under the releases<br>
section. Feel free to use these as an example of what UoA is using the<br>
Vive for, or what you could use your potential Vive for. Hope that<br>
helps.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
Nick<br>
