For the last three months I have done intense researchand development on producing virtual reality. The first project was developing “mediationvr”. It soon became apparent that “sitting” in a headset to do meditation madevery little sense. Virtual Re...

With my 7th entry I explained how the post was too long to include some of the Immersive Experience information I wanted to, so I'm addressing a lot of Immersive Experience points here. I'm also including some info from a post I never got around to a...
