VR Lab

On Sunday we went to Ben’s lab and played on one of the virtual reality programs. It was originally bought for somebody’s research but they’re not using it any more. Other than just playing on it. I was officially the worst at it. You can see Al’s “hands” on the screen as he was following the tutorial instructions. It was a lot of fun in spite of my lack of hand-eye coordination.

@anniesue or growing up with video games.

[Annie-Sue]

@beckyk365 yup - practice!

It's more entertaining to watch people with VR sets than it is to have them on!

Looks a hoot! I don’t think I could handle it.

@bf2016 more than once I caught myself ducking to avoid flying objects.

@narayani I think it could get really intense if you were dealing with scary or dangerous characters. not like the friendly litetle robot we were interacting with.

Looks like something different and interesting to try, but I suspect I would be totally useless at it too

@seacreature I couldn’t for the life of me, remember to lift my middle finger in order to drop the object I was holding. Ben must’ve told me 50 times but I would still forget.
