A Closer Look at the New Rift

This is the Rift next to the desktop sensor, which contains a camera to capture info beamed from the constellation of lights on the Rift and on the Touch controllers.

The sensor is required for positioning the VR wearer in space.

These are the Touch controllers, the first input method created by Oculus for the Rift. Notice the constellation of light emitters on the controllers that work with the sensor to detect their position in space.

“Hello, I’m your server Xiaolan (left) and this is my assistant Xiaotao. Can we get you a drink?” The conversation is imagined. The restaurant, where these two food-delivering robots work, is real and located in Zhejiang province, China.

Zoe Trapp

So I stumbled on this site - zoetrapp.com  and have been sucked into the world of Zoe Trapp, an employee at Life Identical.  

It seems this has been around since Fall of 2014, but it is officially launching this week.  It also seems to be part of the Phrenic World (to what extent I am not sure at this point). You visit her site and can make choices to explore Zoe’s world, not is all as it seems.   -   There are a few other sites you should visit such as http://lifeidentical.com/ , Life’s twitter account (which I sent a friend request but it is still pending) - https://twitter.com/LifeIdentical, and Zoe’s Twitter https://twitter.com/zoetrapp (which you need a tweet from her feed to help in one of the activities in the main site/app).

I am looking forward to the next stage (currently waiting as it seems I have “finished” what I can right now, so hoping there is a next stage). I really like the pacing and “choose your own adventure” style (yes I did use a second account to try different choices :)

If anyone is discussing this or there is a community somewhere, please let me know!!!

This is a list of all the projects made for Recursive Reality, a virtual reality / 3D world building class at the Parsons School for Design in NYC. In this class, we aimed to get a sense of “virtual reality” as it is understood culturally, as in the popular “holodeck” from Star Trek or the...

I was lucky to be part of this amazing class. So many great projects came out of it.
