We are pleased to report that Space Shuttle Mission 2007 now supports the Vuzix™ iWear VR920 Virtual Reality head-tracking stereoscopic goggles.
While requiring modern and reasonably powerful hardware to run well, the unbelievable stereoscopic immersion, image quality and head-tracking are especially effective in the Space Shuttle 3D Virtual Cockpit, during rendezvous, docking, landing and of course during Extra Vehicular Activities (space walks) where the feeling of being there, working on the ISS is close to none.
The Space Shuttle Mission 2007 coupled with the Vuzix™ iWear VR920 is the closest most PC gamers can get to the multi-million NASA Virtual Reality Lab used to train Astronauts in anticipation for activities involving space walks around the International Space Station.
The support is native, not requiring any special installation except the selection of the iWear VR920 support in the Options window. You have a choice of VR920 3DoF head tracking or, if you already own TrackIR:Pro, you can select the 6DoF TrackIR head tracking. The stereoscopic effect is adjustable in real time and saved for future sessions to suit any personal preference.
The iWear VR920 support is available with Service Pack 1.36 which also adds a number of goodies such as new GPC modes, enhanced 3D VR Cockpit and new simulated systems. As with all past SSM2007 add-ons, the special Stereoscopic Virtual Reality support for iWear VR920 is free of charge for all legal customers.
Go and grab Service Pack 1.36 from the Downloads section.
