Yesterday I received a surprising (in a good way) DC from @rev. They transferred ownership of the /vr channel to me.

Grateful to rev for trusting me and excited to bring together more VR enthusiasts on Farcaster. 

When VR news happens I still go to X to see what my VR friends are saying. I want to bring more of those insights here.

Throwback to when I first got my Rift DK1 in 2013. So much has changed!

When was the first time you tried /vr? What hardware? What experience?

I bought a dk2 and tried everything I could find.

Built a couple games and won a big hackathon for one of the earlier networked vr + mobile async multiplayer games.

Omg you truly are a prolific builder. This is so sick. I'm such a sucker for asymmetric VR games. There hasn't been a breakout asymmetric VR hit but I'm hopeful that mechanic will be behind a magical game one day.

Also those were the glory days of hackathons...

woah. so they'd take a picture of you to create an accurate avatar?

There was an Air New Zealand installment at the Auckland Museum when I was living there. 

Quite a while back, but I remember being awestruck by how encompassing it felt (it also used a camera to create your clothes, etc.). The pixellation took me out of the experience a bit, but overall stuck with me.

Still haven't owned any sets yet, though.

I often wish I could replay Alyx for the first time again. Awe inspiring.

And it was peak covid lockdown in NYC so it was the escape I needed.

My first real experience, first gen HTC Vive. First experiences were interesting but not entirely captivating, Fallout 4 in VR and maybe a couple other things..

It wasn’t captivating until i got the Valve Index and Half Life: Alyx. That’s when I knew we were closer than ever to something amazing.

Quest 3 is a big step up and AVP is a bigger step up. Definitely revisit them!

Quest 2, friend demo, mind blown but was disappointed with the pixelated resolution. Still, mind blown.

microsub.

I don't quite remember the hardware by my first experience was almost 10 years ago now at a Game of Thrones exhibition where they let you stand (and fall) off the top of The Wall haha. I got that pit in my stomach while falling and have always loved the tech since.
