Yeah, making a flash engine support Virtual Reality is TOTALLY possible…

Yes, if flash could have full control of your graphics drivers (and be able to detect a VR-ready GPU!)it could be possible… maybe?Maybe in a world where Flash is the new deity.

To be fair, he IS the fastest man alive…it could be possible… maybe?Maybe in a world where Flash is the new deity.

Anyway, since you can't exactly just strap a laptop to your face, the Scratch Team will have to somehow port Scratch to either Android (Cardboard) or dedicated VR systems (e.g Oculus Rift)

I've got a very amusing mental image of someone duct-taping their laptop to their face xDDTo be fair, he IS the fastest man alive…it could be possible… maybe?Maybe in a world where Flash is the new deity.

Scratch is being remade with JavaScript/HTML5, and one of the goals is to be able to run it on your phone, so.. maybe you could use that to experiment with Google Cardboard?

Well what we could do and write a program that converts movements from the heads to key presses which then scratch recieves and uses to change and redraw the canvas!

Well what we could do and write a program that converts movements from the heads to key presses which then scratch recieves and uses to change and redraw the canvas!A phone has(i think) a gyro sensor. a gyro sensor is a sensor that detects movements and detect what angle it's in. That what I'm trying to aim for, how to work to. Let's see if I can make a scrolling script but, make it so you can move it with your head.(using the gyro) A gyro is a object that stands still by an object that's spinning inside rapidly.

Longer explanation:Well what we could do and write a program that converts movements from the heads to key presses which then scratch recieves and uses to change and redraw the canvas!RPi w/ Sense Hat and some modding to Scratch?
Sigton
Use a Raspberry Pi with a sense hat (as that has an accelerometer and a gyroscope) to detect movement. Then the output from the RPi is interpreted through an API in a modded version of Scratch.

Your best bet (for speed and mobile use) would probably be to mod phosphorus, change the fps limit to 90 (the ideal min fps for VR) and get the fastest phone you can find.

Plus make a way to allow html5 to get turn info from a phone
