The Together, Tacit project is a program designed to allow low-vision or blind invididuals to collaborate with sighted individuals on works of art. It uses an Oculus Quest to create a virtual work environment, utilizing haptic feedback and custom VR controllers to locate and manipulate a virtual sculpture.
- A VR-compatable computer (with Bluetooth compatability)
- Oculus Quest 2 (with compatable Oculus Link Cable)
- Windows 10
- At least 1 USB Type-C port and/or 1 USB Type-B port for Oculus Link
- At least 2 USB Type-B ports for custom VR controllers
- The program can be run on any Windows 10 computer set up with Oculus Link, and does not require the custom controllers to function.
- For use with custom haptic controllers, see the details laid out inside the Software Instruction Manual.
