I picked up an Oculus Rift Development Kit (DK2 version) back in the summer and have been playing with adapting existing VR environments for it.Ī VR-adapted version of The Lone Viking, a game (by my former students Grant & Chris) for the Unity game engine.

And yet there's also a resigned feeling that the whole thing will be a five-minute wonder. There's been a flurry of activity this last year. The major commercial VR products are just about to hit the market. More significantly, I seem to have found myself becoming an evangelist- cum-apologist for Virtual Reality technology.
