SEEKING WORK - Los Angeles, CA I'm pivoting careers to Virtual Reality development, after over a decade working in web. I've been a full-stack web developer, product manager, digit…

Haven't explored this subject before, but I'd guess there's likely some sort of social, psychological and biological basis for why museums exist and are popular in the first place.…

This. Remote assistance would be huge

A few weeks ago I went to a family gathering and brought along my Gear VR to demonstrate to my family. My mother, who is in her late 60's loved it immensely. I set her up with a st…

It sounds like there's more than a few people working on this idea now. I just feel like it's a little early to be expecting users to go about multitasking like a desktop when we'r…

Personally, I think VR will find it's killer app in being a creative medium and expand from there. There's been too much emphasis on it's possibilities as a passive entertainment e…

Well, I just googled around and found my idea is not super unique.. already found 2 teams working on it: https://www.jukedeck.com http://juke-bot.com/

There was a brief time when QuickTime VR and photo stitching were considered essential skills for anyone getting into digital media. The use cases for it in web projects turned out…

I liked this one: http://autopsy.io/ And this: http://www.cbinsights.com/blog/startup-failure-post-mortem/ Personally I'd like to see a post mortem for companies that collapsed. So…

3D modeling is a prerequisite skill for emerging tech like VR/AR/MR. The ability to manipulate 3D models competently is soon going to be a pretty essential foundation, like using p…

Very cool to see someone else is making the leap! I just wrote a blog post about the same thing as it pertains to breaking into VR in general. Interestingly, I had dedicated a chun…

Consumer VR is in it's infancy. Embryonic almost. In the early days of desktop computer, how many different OSes and hardware configurations were there? In the years of the automob…

That article left much unanswered. One side thought is that I really wonder what the societal implications are of life-stage depression shifting down to a younger age, coupled with…

I was actually hoping this was going to be a story about a very clever marketing campaign

Something tells me law firms are probably not going to pass along the cost savings of this automation to their clients...

As someone looking to break into VR from a background in web development, I found this to be really inspirational. Bridging the gap is a big win
