I have a problem bringing things to completion. I don’t feel like KittenVR should have a major release number, because right now, it’s just one little scene that I made in Unity. It’s only been played and tested on my computer, with my Oculus settings, and I haven’t actually let anyone else play it yet […]

Yesterday, I had the privilege to participate in a hack/code-a-thon at a local middle school as part of the Hour of Code initiative and thought that I’d share my love for Virtual Reality by bringing my Oculus Rift with me and doing demos during lunchtime. Although I suspected that a number of the kids would find […]

So, I’ve had a couple of days with my Oculus Rift DK 2, and it’s been a whirlwind of screen time since Thursday, when it arrived! It’s time to jump deep into the world of virtual reality – hands on! First things first: the headset! For those of you who haven’t had a chance to […]

Christmas came to California a month and a half early – my DK 2 has finally arrived! Naturally, my apartment has been an absolute wreck this week, so I had to shove a bunch of stuff in boxes to clear off my desk, which I then turned into my brand-new VR battle station, complete with a […]

After months of considering ordering a DK 2 from Oculus Rift, I spent several weeks committed to waiting for the Crescent Bay headset. Today, I took an honest look at my new obsession with Virtual Reality and decided that it was time to go all in. Today, I decided to become an owner of my […]
