A dream in 3D
8 years ago
Story time.
When I was a little child (well teenager) I was an avid fan of video games. What a surprise!
Back then you could get video games only in special shops and it was always an exciting adventure when mom drove me and my little brother to the shop to buy the newest NES or SNES games.
And one day they had a new thing standing there in the shop... the Virtual Boy. I got to test it (the Tennis game) and even though it was monochrome and crappy and stuff I knew I wanted this. 3D. Being inside the game. Mom didn't get it for me though.
From then on I always watched with envy when in TV shows and movies VR appeared.
Fast Forward about 20 years. The Occulus Rift Kickstarter ignites a new interest in VR technology. I am thrilled.
And after a few more years, I am now holding my very own VR set in my hands.
It is literally a childhood dream come true. It's been over 20 years of dreaming. It has been merely 2 weeks with it and I am still giggling when putting it on.
When I come after work I sometimes put the goggles on and begin playing during daylight and when I take them off, my room is pitch dark. It's an eerie feeling.
And I get tired playing with it. Really tired. Waving my arms around holding them outstretched and such. Playing games and doing exercise! Another dream come true. Well, ok it is not THAT mach exercise, but still. Better than sitting on my butt all day.
Anyway, I just wanted to share these feeling with you, because moments like this do not happen too often in one's lifetime.
Also here is something I drew in 3D: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PFfprA6uHFI
