The concept of presence, of being virtually and magically transported to a place, real or imagined, and having the feeling of truly being there, has always been and will continue to be, one of the chief selling points of virtual reality. But that concept of presence, and the value that VR gives to it, becomes much more complex when we're talking about a place and an experience that no one would want to be present for.

Virtual Reality is the next big thing in gaming. As soon as Oculus Rift launched its Kickstarter campaign, every gamer was anxious to get his/her hands on one. It became one of the most exciting campaigns on Kickstarter ever. Virtual Reality will bring gaming to a whole new level and developers are already on deck to make some exciting new games. Gamers want to experience their favorite games in the virtual world and interaction with other gamers will become more personal with the help of VR.

Given that Oculus/Facebook mothballed support for VR on Mac, the OSVR team at Sensics decided to step up and fill that void. Once successful, this will provide an active path to continue to work with Oculus (and many other HMDs) on Mac. It will also pave the way to make use of the many capabilities of OSVR including positional and predictive tracking, device-independent integration for cameras, gestures, skeleton, locomotion devices and more.

To avoid awkward and sometimes disastrous learning content, instructional designers must use authentic translation in the right context to get optimal results. For example, even a simple phrase like “got milk” translates to “are you lactating” in Mexico. Can you imagine what a straight translation might do to your course? With over 317 million people in the US and over 6.7 billion potential customers in the world, personalizing training seems logical.

It all started with an idea: can we create films for Virtual Reality headsets? This was 9 months ago. The first major hurdle was to develop a camera that can film on all sides in 3D. With our own money and some friends who were generous enough to let us (ab)use their GoPros, we created a working prototype out of wood using a laser cutter… and it worked!

So Kellog's announced that they're going to be rolling out limited-edition cereal boxes that will include build-your-own VR viewers, akin to Google's DIY device, Cardboard. They'll have their own app too, with 360° videos that will reportedly include first-person rides on a mountain bike and a wingsuit. All of which is pretty cool. Nevertheless, we can't help but wish that instead of generic action sports footage, Kellog's had looked inward, to their own cereal brands and, more importantly, the

For those struggling with a work/life balance between spending hours at the office doing menial admin tasks or chilling at home playing console games perhaps there is an opportunity to accomplish both activities at the same time. How about linking your email Inbox to a first-person shooter game. In a virtual environment your emails appear as avatars around you (like falling asteroids or alien monsters) that you eliminate with a hand-held weapon instead of hitting delete on the keyboard.

What makes a collection of pixels into a magic experience? The art of storytelling. At the latest VRLA Summer Expo, creative coder Isaac Cohen (aka Cabbibo ) shared his love for the human possibilities of virtual reality, digital experiences, and the power of hugs. Isaac opens the talk by thinking about how we create the representation of 3D space in the digital world of ones and zeros – a place where nothing really exists, but everything is possible.
