As part of my VR course, I’ve been asked to perform a bit of a thought experiment. The outline of this work is: Imagine you want to make a VR Education Application. This could be an exploration of the solar system, looking at fine grain detail of the human body, or teaching somebody how to […]

Thursday, 3rd August 2017
As discussed earlier, there are loads of terms floating around in the world of VR. But it’s not just things on the spectrum between AR and VR.

Sunday, 30th July 2017
Over the past few months I’ve been studying with Udacity to learn VR software development.

You know what’s really fun? Being able to move around and interact in a virtual environment. You know what isn’t? Barfing all over your new all birds. That’s exactly what’s at stake when designing a good VR experience, particularly one that includes movement. When developing for VR it’s important to build a good understanding of […]
VR and the power of scale 💗
Friday, 14th July 2017
One of the most powerful things about VR is its ability to have a shared experience at scale. From an education perspective, this is an extremely exciting thing. The below TED talk is a fantastic example of how VR can bring multi-million dollar facilities to every student without the cost of traditional real-world labs. Not […]

Thursday, 6th July 2017
As I said in my previous post on process, it’s important to test your work early and often. This means getting in front of your users and collecting feedback, aka UX testing. When you’re starting out with user testing it can be quite intimidating, but with a few tips and a bit of preparation, it […]
