Pharo and Virtual Realitity

Hello,

With Victor we have been working on a Pharo programming environment entirely made in Virtual Reality. We need feedback from VR and Smalltalk / Pharo lovers. The url gives plenty of screenshots of the environment:

https://github.com/Vito217/PharoVRIDE

We need people to try it and give us feedback. We can go with you hand by hand. You just need to register here:

https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1V-3mwG-JvbfgitoWdqr7H2qmh-fVlnui7LuNZ2qdwU8/viewform?edit_requested=true

You need to have a VR device to participate.

Cheers,
Victor, Geoffrey, Leonel, Alexandre

Alex I think that with the spec2 effort I would really like to see if we can have a vr back-end :)

It would be cool, indeed!

BTW what kind of VR device do we need. 

We have experienced with HTC and it works well.

Hi:

I installed Pharo and enter the following in workspace.

Author uniqueInstance fullName: 'VRIDE User'.

Metacello new
    baseline: 'Roassal3';
    repository: 'github://ObjectProfile/Roassal3';
    load.    
   
Metacello new
    baseline: 'Roassal3Exporters';
    repository: 'github://ObjectProfile/Roassal3Exporters';
    load.

Metacello new
    baseline: 'Roassal3Exporters';
    repository: 'github://ObjectProfile/Roassal3Exporters';
    load: 'AFrame'.

ZnReadEvalPrintDelegate startInServerOn: 1701.

(ZnServer on: 1701)
    bindingAddress: NetNameResolver localHostAddress;
    delegate: ZnReadEvalPrintDelegate new;
    start;
    yourself

PharoVRIDE open

I don't understand the following instructions in GitHub page:

Now open PharoVRIDE. Right into the first scene, you will see a field asking
for the IP address of your Pharo server. It must be as follows:

http://<Host name or IP Address>:<Port>/repl

If you are running on localhost just as shown in the previous script, press
the Enter button to proceed. Otherwise, you must specify an address.

Finally, put on your VR headset, and try some stuff!

Please advise.
Thanks,
Aik-Siong Koh

I don't know anything about VRIDE but the above two expressions are equivalent, they do the same thing, twice. You need only one of them.
