Own-Mailbox
So last year I joined a Kickstarter campaign for a product called Own-Mailbox which promised a self hosted secure email service (meaning away from prying eyes of “them” ;-) ). Well that campaign ultimately fell through, but the creators said they learned some lessons and would rethink the product and be back. A few months later, true to their word they were back with some information about their…

HyperReality Version 2.0
So a while ago I bought this domain with the intent of using it to talk about Virtual and Augmented Reality and where those technologies were headed, well honestly while I’m still interested in the technology and will write about, it just wasn’t enough to hold my interest enough to write about it on a regular basis. I’m kind of ADHD especially when it comes to technology, so this will be a blog…

Elders reacting to the Oculus Rift Kind of a cool little video of older folks being shown the rift for the first time.
Demo Time and Horror aka Come On Sony, Give Us Until Dawn
Demo Time and Horror aka Come On Sony, Give Us Until Dawn
So I had my first demo night on Monday with a couple of friends I play video games with regularly. There isn’t a whole lot out there for the Dk2 but enough has trickled out that it I could start getting other people’s opinions on the device and their experience. Picking what to show them was an interesting endeavour, given the fact that they’re both close friends, and that we tend to behave like…

Oculus Rift DK2
Well the DK2 has been released and I am happy to report I did in fact receive mine yesterday. At this point there’s been a million unboxing posts on the net so I won’t post a million pictures or a long video, but here’s a few for those who haven’t seen what it looks like yet.
So for your $350+ you get the headset, two different sets of lenses, the motion tracking camera and 4.31 million different…

Things that make you go hmmmmm
Things that make you go hmmmmm
My apologies for the lack of updates, there has been things happening in VR land but none that really excited me, until yesterday when Oculus announced that they will begin shipping the first 10,000 DK2 units beginning July 14th with the remainder delayed until August. I do have a relatively early order time so I’m hoping I’m in that first batch.
Onto some news stories, Facebook is receiving some…

Site Update
Just a head’s up, if things are a little weird please bear with me the next 24 hours or so, I’m in the process of moving to a new server as the old one was woefully underpowered and so you may get some errors as I complete that process. Thanks guys!

One of the topics discussed referenced a topic I've been meaning to discuss and will probably go into greater detail in the coming months, that being the issue of computer hardware.
Oculus Rift to sell "at cost" according to Oculus CEO Brendan Iribe
Oculus Rift to sell “at cost” according to Oculus CEO Brendan Iribe
ARSTechnica recently did a sit down interview with Oculus CEO Brendan Iribe, a couple of interesting things came out of said interview. The first was the timelines they are thinking about for releasing devices. At this point we know that version two of the development kit ships next month (which is when mine should be arriving) and to date Oculus hasn’t really committed to a release date for the…

Valves HR Headset
I write a lot about the Oculus Rift here, but it’s not the only VR headset in development at the moment. One of the others is made by Valve. Back in January of this year Valve was demoing their headsetalongside the Rift, and the people that tried Valve’s unit swore it was a much superior product. And then Valve dropped a bit of a bombshell saying they were not going to pursue to development of…

Samsung To Be First To Market?
Samsung To Be First To Market?
There have been reports surfacing in the last day that Samsung is preparing to enter the fray with their own VR headset. Apparently the headset will feature a display at least as good as the Oculus Rift (960×1080) but potentially even better. It will be tethered to one of their smartphone or tablet devices. The rumors also say that it will beat the Rift and Sony’s Project Morpheus to market and…

Introducing the 360cam
So on my travels today I happened upon the kickstarter page for this neat little device called the 360cam. In a nutshell it’s 3 HD cameras arranged in a circle that capture and stitch together a full 360 view of what’s around the camera. It is waterproof and also captures stills, has the ability to stream via wifi and is compatible with the Oculus Rift.
This to me is one of the devices that…

ZeniMax Sues Oculus VR
ZeniMax Sues Oculus VR
Interesting development today, though not really unexpected. For those of you that haven’t been following this, as I mentioned in the brief historyI posted earlier, a fellow by the name John Carmack joined in very early in the process to help Palmer Luckey with the Rift. At the time John wrote some code that was fairly important in getting the rift to work the way it is intended, and he was…

Ascending The Wall
So after two years of waiting and reading everything I possibly could about the Oculus Rift I finally got a chance to try it out for myself yesterday at the Game of Thrones exhibit here in Toronto. For those of you not familiar with Game of Thrones it’s an HBO series set in medieval-ish times (it’s a fantasy series), part of the story takes place at a giant 800 foot high, 300 mile long ice wall.…

Inserting Reality Into The Rift Oliver Kreylos is a guy that knows his 3D... Well. So well in fact he's been playing around with using 3 Kinect devices to map a persons image in real time and insert it into a virtual room.
Counter-Strike and the Virtuix Omni Up until this point I've pretty much only discussed our visual interface into the world of VR/AR, but when you think of real life you just don't see and hear things, you interact with the world as well, and treadmill devices help add another layer to the concept of virtual reality by allowing you a way to move around that world the way you do in ours.
