How to Pre-Order the PS VR2

Image
I love PSVR . The exclusives are excellent, as is the ability to play PlayStation games on a giant floating virtual screen. But I will admit, the hardware can’t compete in the 2022 VR space. Against tech from Meta and HTC, it’ s the perfect time for PlayStation VR 2 to launch. And while we won’t see it until sometime early next year, we can start securing our spot right now (as long as we’re chosen). What’s new with PS VR2? Sony’s PS VR2 is a considerable upgrade from the original PlayStation VR . The new headset bumps the resolution from 960 x 1080 to 2000 x 2040 (4K), supports HDR, and increases the field of view from 100˚ to 110˚. It also supports eye tracking for realistic eye movements, and Tempest 3D audio. It s inside-out tracking system eliminates the need for a camera, which should make setup so much easier. Of course, the even bigger upgrade is to the controllers. While PS VR used 2010's PlayStation Move controllers, PS VR2's controllers are designed for VR, pa...

Try EmuVR to Relive ’90s Gaming

Image
Photo : robtek ( Shutterstock ) We’ll never truly get to relive the ‘ 90s again, but technology is getting us pretty darn close. This moment, you could be sitting in your modern home in 2022, surrounded by iPhones, big screen OLED TVs, and smart gadgets of all kinds, all the while experiencing a room decked out with classic posters, old-school TVs, and retro games filling every corner of the bookshelves. It’s not magic: It’s Emu VR . EmuVR recreates the 90s bedroom of your dreams, allowing you to play one of more than 70 different classic consoles one on TV, while watching retro cartoons on another. Because EmuVR is, at its core, an emulator, you can play games from a wide range of platforms, including PlayStation, Nintendo 64, GameCube, Sega Dreamcast, SNES, NES, and even more modern consoles like Wii. The coolest part of EmuVR, in my opinion, is it recreates the gaming experience down to the smallest detail. You don’t pick your games from some in-game UI, or dig through your Win...

An Existentialist Guide to Feeling Nothing

Image
I recently watched “ the greatest film of all time ,” and the most boring one. In retrospect, the title alone should have been a sufficient warning: Jeanne Dielman, 23 Quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles . Alas, I’m old enough to be a bit nostalgic about massive telephone address books. And massive it is. Clocking over 200 minutes, Chantal Akerman's 1975 dreary drama follows three days in the monotonous routine of Jeanne, a widow, a mother, and a prostitute. I watched Jeanne’s autopilot existence, until, staring at her back as she washes dishes, I decided to fast-forward a couple of minutes, only to discover she was still at it. And Jeanne is equally thorough when she’s busy baking, cleaning, folding laundry, or shining her son’s shoes. She speaks so scarcely and mechanically, that it’s impossible to detect any emotion or volition beyond her carefully controlled chores . Watching Jeanne Dielman is what the word “painstaking” was invented for. Chantal...

What Are SQL Stored Procedures and How Do You Create Them?

Image
Stored procedures: like functions for your SQL. A stored procedure is a batch of SQL statements created and stored on a database. You can reuse a stored procedure over and over again. A stored procedure can accept parameters, run a query, and return results. Many users can call a stored procedure and different applications can call it with different parameter values. What Are the Benefits of Using Stored Procedures? Apart from allowing multiple users and applications to reuse it, a stored procedure has other benefits. It is easy to modify. You can change a stored procedure when necessary and these updates will be reflected for all users. Furthermore, you don’t need to redeploy your application when you modify the stored procedure. It reduces network traffic because the server only passes the procedure’s name over the network and not the entire query. It improves database security since users don’t have direct access to tables. To make...
