Tomorrow I try VR for the first time.
10 years ago
I'm incredibly excited, I've been refreshing the order page over and over, hoping I can make it get here quicker XD
First thing I want to say is I've never tried it before. I've heard many stories, almost all of them blow people away, and everyone says it's something you have to try to believe. I've sort of bought into the hype. Still it's hard for me to understand, I keep thinking about how cool it will be, but is it really that good? That's why I'm making this journal, I want to get my pre-vr thoughts out before I experience it so I can look back at this and see just how amazing (or awful) this experience is. I want to find out if this lives up to the hype, I keep reminding myself of the saying, "If it sounds too good to be true..." but honestly, this time I think it's true. I feel like I might be hyping myself up for a gigantic let down, but there are so many people out their, literally almost everyone, that says it's unbelievable.
I've been hearing stories about how it goes beyond immersion, you feel something called "presence" it lasts for only a moment, but in that moment your mind doesn't know what's real, what it sees feels so real you lose track of reality. Yeah I thought it sounded stupid too, and it might not happen to me right away, (the thing I'm getting in the mail is good, but it's not a Oculus Rift or an HTC Vive) but the thing is, that feeling is real.
I really don't know what to expect, well, I expect it to be cool, this will be fun regardless, but will it be more than something I won't care about in a week? I don't know. I want this to be what everyone says it is. I'll make another journal sometime soon, probably tomorrow, and I'll give my thoughts on it.
In case anyone is wondering I'm getting a Samsung Gear VR in the mail tomorrow. I've heard very good things about it, for what it is, it's comparable to the Oculus DK2 which is supposed to already be outstanding. Hopefully when I return I'll be returning with a jaw that needs to be scraped off the floor.
