Virtual Reality. Two words I had scarcely heard and probably even more scarcely thought about before taking this course. So naturally, on Wednesday while trying out the Samsung Gear for the first time I had no idea what to expect. I'm supposed to move my head left to right, up and down. Okay. It's going to look like I was there in person, ideally. Okay. Eventually devices like this will allow us first row seats to basketball games and simulate an around the world adventure, for potentially a much cheaper...

Class in the innovation lab was the first time I had fully experienced virtual reality. My group was assigned to the Google Cardboard first. Not expecting much from an inexpensive kit, I ended up being very impressed. For just an app on a smart phone, the Trayvon Martin experience was more detailed and well put together than I would have thought. Having said that however, I never felt the full “I was there” sensation with the Google Cardboard, but I certainly felt more than if I was watching something on...
VR Experience

After class this past Wednesday, I left thinking about how amazing this industry is, and how quickly it will take off. It was only a few months ago that I first discovered VR in the form of Google Cardboard, and just when I thought it could not get more impressive, I got the chance to try an even more immersive VR experience on Wednesday. I was blown away at how quickly you can completely become consumed by the experience. Even the less polished VR can still become something incredible. While...

Before the class in the innovation lab, I had tried the Oculus Rift on two separate occasions, and Google Cardboard once. Large amounts of time passed between these experiences, so being able to try one VR device after the other allowed me to start to more fully understand the differences between them. I used the GearVR first, followed by Google Cardboard. One thing I noticed about the VR experiences that I tried was that they did not need a narrative to tell a story. Simply being in the space simulator...
VR lab- Waves of Grace

During Wednesday’s lab, my group and I were able to experience “Waves of Grace” through the Samsung Gear VR. “Waves of Grace” told the story of a young Liberian woman who survived Africa’s deadly epidemic of Ebola, which has an infamously high mortality rate, last year. When I heard that the experience was about Ebola, based on what I’d learned in the media and a National Geographic video I had watched about Ebola back when I was in eighth grade, I automatically assumed that I’d be seeing something along the...

I only got to try two pieces of VR hardware during yesterday's class: the Samsung headset and the Oculus Rift DK2, but I was as amazed as the rest of my class about what both of these headsets could do. For the Samsung headset, I got to watch parts of "Waves of Grace". And it really drove home the amazing potential of filming things for VR. The most amazing thing about "Waves of Grace" by far was the sense of placement. Even though what I was seeing was clearly just...

I loved the class we had today. I have experienced VR before, but I've never been able to play with 2 different headsets in one sitting and for that extended period of time. During class, I experienced three different worlds first hand: a Mario castle, being a giant dragon who can breathe fire, and a cirque de soleil performance. Two of the worlds I visited were more stylized and one made me feel like I was actually there. Storytelling is definitely a huge part of the VR experience as a...

Although there are some flaws, every time I enter virtual reality I get a rush. I’m always on the edge of my seat and feel as though I have no idea what’s going to happen next. That’s a quality I enjoy in my favorite television shows and movies, but to actually experience it is something else. It’s such a unique and focused feeling that I wonder if I will ever get over it. I hope I don’t, because it’s one of the reason I am so attracted to this new...

Today was the first time that I was able to experience Virtual Reality equipments' potential and the current state of development. I experienced a couple of different VR scenes and am fully convinced that the future has arrived. We still do not know all the use cases of this technology, as the technology is really in a infant stage. But as I experienced a couple of different scenes in Oculus VR Gear and Google cardboard (as well as saw my classmates experience it), I got to see first hand what works...

TRF 600 Virtual Reality Storytelling Dan Pacheco NH 1 205 A David Ewald Jones My first experience with the VR headsets on day one was quite varied. The first headset we tried was the Google Cardboard with a Galaxy note 3 inside. My first impression was that for something you downloaded the plans to make for free, the experience wasn’t bad. However, the storytelling element was virtually non existent since as a viewer, I was stuck in one place with no way to move. One of our group...
