Get in the game! Mixed Reality support added to Willowisp VR

As the Mixed Reality trailer on the store page demonstrates, Willowisp VR now supports filming in mixed reality! If you have a green screen and familiar with the process of setting up mixed reality (warning: it is not easy) you can now show off your awesome skills in a way that allows people who have not experienced VR firsthand to get a sense for what it's like far better than a first-person screen-capture.

What does it mean for a Willowisp VR to "support" mixed reality? Two things, first, there are a few technical steps a game has to implement in order for it to be possible to bring up the 4-quadrant display necessary for mixed reality filming. Second, there are several features in the default settings of Willowisp that would interfere with mixed reality filming--specifically the dynamic fog being in the foreground obscuring the live feed and the cartoon head covering your real head. From the main screen, if you select Options, and then set Mixed Reality to Enabled, the game will remove the cartoon head and switch the fog to a type that does not cause interference.

If you film a Mixed Reality video of Willowisp VR, please feel free to link to it on the discussion boards, I'd love to see it!
