Experience with VR Headset



Experience with VR Headsets


There are three kinds of VR headsets 
  • Mobile-you need a smartphone to connect to
  • Tethered-you need a PC to connect to 
  • Standalone-you only need a place to charge it 
Mobile headsets only have three degrees of freedom (3DOF). Tethered and Standalone have six degrees of freedom (6DOF).
The 3DOF does not give the full effect of being in the game or place that you see with the headset. 

Many companies make VR sets: Oculus, Sony, Microsoft, Nintendo.  

I have the Oculus Quest. It has 6DOF. It has hand controls and is a standalone. 

Comparing the VR to the Xbox One: 

  •  the headset has better graphics and seems more real than the Xbox. 
  • the xbox is easier to control because I don't have to move but moving with the headset seems more real. 
  • the headset and controls you need a little more space but not too much. 
  • the xbox has more games available. 
  • Xbox you can play with more people being online. 
  • Oculus would be fun to play with more people  
  • Oculus is still pretty new so it doesn't offer as much as the xbox.

    There is some information here. For someone who doesn't use VR, what are the arguments for why I should?

Car paints/wraps

Car paints/wraps The normal person who does not pay attention to cars and their designs may not know there can be more than the eye can see. Every year they come out with something crazy or something no one would expect like a company called LumiLor a glow in the dark painter and luminescent lights. https://www.lumilor.com Only just a few years ago when you could only get base colors for cars. They would hand paint them with natural resources like flowers. This needed more than just 1 or 2 coats it need more like 4 or 5 and it took a lot longer to dry then just a few hours it took about maybe a few days depending on what you got. Now you can get paints that glow or change color or even like a chrome color but if you can't pay for your car painted you can just wrap your car for a few hundred dollars for a basic color. It wouldn't take as long as painting the car and also if you get sick of the wrap then you can just rip it off. Painting a car will cost around 1000 ...

Technology that has helps Police/Military  Every year with technology with military and police they come out with robots that make military and the police force a lot easier. They have been working on robotic K9 units that can open doors climb stuff and carry some things. But it also helps save some of the regular K9 dogs.  The Massachusetts State Police force/bomb squad has tested these K9 dogs and one of the  first type of robotic unit being tested around this area at a private testing facility. The robotic dog is named Spot. It can be used instead of sending a human into a harmful situation. It could be sent into a chemical spill, a hostage danger or a bomb scare. It has a 360 degree low light camera and an arm. It can be used for surveillance for a lot of police jobs.   The robot dog does not have weapons. The company that rents to robot dog can make it work how they want with their own program.  They do not want the robotic dog to ...
