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 and physical presence feeling that I was actually sitting in the theater and watching shows. I think what contributes that feeling is this scene maybe shot by 360 degree camera. So, when people wear this Oculus Gear, they can see all the environment and have full spherical range of version through Gear and make them have a true sensibility that they are actually in that scene instead of wearing Oculus at classroom. Among all these VR devices, I feel like Gear and Google cardboard are having higher resolution compared with DK 1 and DK 2, which could help to tell story better.

My group and I were tried all four devices and each of us tried different scene on each device. We felt that the Ice Island in DK 2 can let people have the feeling of moving forward, like sitting on a roller coaster. I played Temple Run on Gear, by the end I was caught by the monster and with the 3D sound moves with my head, I felt so realism that monster is going to eat me, I felt scared and quickly took of the Gear. Even though, DK 2 has also creates some level of realism; however as player you know it is not real because of the 3D graphic.

Google Cardboard was the only device gave me a little bit dizzy, the resolution is great and the street view experiences gave me a strong realism. However, if I play this for a long time, maybe 7 to 10 minutes, I felt uncomfortable and suffered with a little bit headache. I felt the reason caused this is because of the small screen, and Google Cardboard does not create a spherical sense for viewers.

The quality of 3D graphics in DK 1, DK 2 and Gear are pretty good and give me the sense of I am actually in the game or a comic trip. Especially, when I was wearing Gear to play temple run, the sense of realism shocked me.

It would be better if these VR devices can connect with Bluetooth and other connection with TV and computer, so wires could not be a problem that bother people when they are having VR experience.

After I gone through games and experiences on the oculus website, I want to try ZVR Apocalypse Zombie Showcase game. I really like zombie series, films and games, it will be awesome if I can wear oculus rift to play this type of games.
