The experiences I had with these four VR devices were amazing. Also, I felt so lucky to test out these latest high-tech devices to had a high sensibility of visual experience with 3D graphics and video. These four VR devices I tested out were Oculus DK1, Oculus DK 2, Google Cardboard and Samsung Gear. Samsung Gear was the one that impressed me a lot. Unlike Oculus DK 1 and DK 2 that just showing people 3D graphics, the actual video I saw through Samsung Gear gave me a true...

While last week's lab was not my first experience with VR technology it was the most immersive I've had. In Newhouse's innovation lab I was able to get my hands (and my eyes) on two different generations of Oculus Rift, Google Cardboard, and the Samsung Gear. Starting with the first generation Oculus my group began to explore the VR world, by touring around a recreation of the Star Trek enterprise. The world inside the VR headset was low-res (reminding me of the graphics from the early Half-Life games) but the...

Claire Dunderman Virtual reality, the final frontier. These are the voyages of the Virtual Reality Storytelling class. Walking into class last week, I knew I was in for something different and new, but I wasn't expecting such an explosion of energy. Everyone, miraculously (considering my excitable nature), was just as ecstatic as I was. Technology! Virtual! Oculus Rift! These words punctuated nearly every conversation. We began with a slideshow and some short videos as some background to what the class was going to become. This dragged out the suspense for...

I was excited to be able to use the various VR goggles in class last Wednesday, especially having never done anything similar. All of them, including the most basic, were still able to immerse me in the area depicted very well, especially because the headphones and various sounds helped to ignore the "real world" more fully while I was going through the virtual one. What I found, though, was that the stories of those worlds were basic at most, and usually non-existent. I started with the Samsung Gear VR, and...

On the first day of the VR course, 14th, Jan, we had an opportunity to experience Oculus DK1, Oculus DK2, Google Cardboard and Samsung Gear. Those four devices brought different experiences in VR world. The same experience that I had in those four devices was they could distract me for a couple of seconds after I watched for a couple of minutes in the VR stories. But overall, it was an amazing experience in this testing. Oculus DK 1 was the first device I tried. When I experienced “Star...
During the first class exercise, we were given the chance to experience four virtual reality experiences: Oculus Rift DK1 and DK2, Google Cardboard, and the Gear VR developed by Samsung in collaboration with Oculus. Having tried versions of the Oculus Rift and Google Cardboard in the past, I was most excited to see how people who hadn’t tried VR would react. We started at the Oculus DK2 station and I watched as one of my group members went through the Lord of the Rings experience. Having never tried VR before,...

Michelle Kim On the first day of class, January 14, my classmates and I were given the opportunity to test out four VR devices: the Samsung Gear, Oculus DK1, Oculus DK2, and Google Cardboard. All four experiences were something remarkable. There was such a strong sense of realism that I actually felt as if I was in each of the stories I viewed. When I left the VR world in each device, there was a brief feeling of confusion and surprise. But of course, there were differences in each experience....
