My First Experience with Virtual Reality!
Yep, I've had my first experience with Virtual Reality! And I was so dumb-founded that I had a hard time expressing how "insane" it was. I do want to apologize for the angle of the video, my camera doesn't have a wide range to shoot from. And we really don't have any way of investing into it.... yet.
This experience was new and exciting for me. I really never understood the "hype" about virtual reality until now. And I can say, that unless you wear the headset... You'll never really know the feeling. Which is why this post is being advertised to this affiliate link. The Oculus Rift sells for $458.99+FREE SHIPPING at that link. It is the more affordable bundle I could find, in case you're interested. Now, that I gave some shameless promotion. Let's get to the actual review of the product! Like I said, unless you actually put on the headset, you'll never get the full understanding about how amazing this actually is. Imagine all your senses being tricked, your most powerful (in the sense of VR) being your sight. Once your sight is being tricked, your other senses get a huge kickstart, and that is when you really become immerged in the experience. Now, the graphics are not hyper-realistic for the most part, but it is still provides the feeling that you are in the game.
The tracking is excellent for the most part, if calibrated correctly. And you will most likely get a headache if you stay in Virtual Reality for too long. I would say my limit, is an hour. However, that hour can be a lot of fun! And most of the VR games only last a few minutes.
