Assignment 1 – VR Experience – Erin Qiu


I don't think I have many experience in VR before. I only watched many videos that are about VR and I’m always intrigued by this idea. The experience I had on Wednesday night in the lab was interesting and fun. I felt like I was in another world when I put the gear on and I even forgot about time when I played with the robot. The interaction with the robot was enjoyable. I really felt like playing with it as it handed me over all those different tapes. Moreover, the game consoles for the robot was easy to use, but I think it can be designed better such as a pair of gloves. The Samsung cardboard was exciting too. I was curious to walk around to found out more about the Vincent Willem van Gogh world. The visual and audio effects were authentic enough to make me believe that I’m in a different place. Other people’s reactions were funny too. They stretched their arms, walked around and did all kinds of postures. But no matter what kind of actions they did that amused us, they wouldn’t feel weird at all because it would seem perfectly normal in their own world. On the other hand, we wouldn’t understand what they are doing unless we experience the same too. The screens showed us what the person was experiencing but only in a two-dimensional picture. I believe VR will definitely become a major part of media and even part of people’s lives in the future as the technology matures.
