Is anyone from Oculus (or the forums) planning to attend the 2015 Comic Con in San Diego? Maybe a Crescent Bay booth?

No it's alright. You have fun over there in USA. Having a major event every second weekend. I'll be chilling here in Switzerland. Alone. :cry:
People tend to believe what they want to be true.

Cyber, do you know if Oculus is planning to do any demonstrations of CV1 at the San Diego Comic Con. Less than 2 weeks away... would love to meet some Oculus representatives there.

No sure, but I don't see it listed on the events page.

Hmmm... Do you have the ability to add events? 😄

I know this isn't completely on topic, but back in 2013, I found a 3D model of the San Diego convention center on Sketchup 3D warehouse and imported it into a Unity project.



This was one of my first Unity/DK1 experiments where I pretty much just imported the convention center model into Tuscany and then just deleted the Tuscany house.

It doesn't look good at all, but everything was mostly correctly sized. And exploring the model in VR actually helped me recall some memories I had from past Comic-Con experiences.

Wanna know a random memory I recalled? I was outside smoking a cigarette at the back of the building at the area where the LARPers do their combat demos, but it was unusually empty. Then I saw some people running away. Turned out that the reason they were running was because there was a swarm of bees back there. Then I see this skinny nerdy dude walking directly into the swarm. An Elite yelled out: "Sir! You're walking into a swarm of bees!" This badass nerd, with a huge smile on his face, said: "I know. 8-)" And then he walked right into the bees.

Anyways I haven't been able to get Comic-Con tickets for the past few years because the demand is too high and I just wasn't lucky in the lottery-based registration system.

Since SDCC is coming up, I've been thinking about this again. I have this idea of taking hella public photos from Hall H and then running it through photogrammetry software to generate a 3D model. Then I'd put a webview in there somewhere so that I can stream in video of SDCC coverage inside of a virtual Hall H. Ideally I would be able to watch Hall H coverage from inside a virtual Hall H.

Sadly, I have seen no presence of Oculus or Valve at Comic Con. I did try a go at the Viewmaster booth... So sad...

I'm not at SDCC, but apparently there are a lot of VR experiences there.

I think the Vive demos are located outside or near comic-con.

I miss SDCC. Hopefully soon we can all attend virtually.

Here's a series of clips (a good portion of the entire show) from Conan in SDCC this year. It's full 360 and, of course, viewable on the Rift.

Not a Rift fanboi. Not a Vive fanboi. I'm a VR fanboi. Get it straight.
