Mich Haddad and Dylan Watkins join me in this episode of the Rev VR Podcast. They talk about planning the Orange County VR Meetup, the interesting way they got Oculus to show the Oculus Rift DK2, and their own vision for the future of VR.
In a previous episode, I talked with Cosmo Scharf about his own inspiration for doing the VRLA Meetup. It turns out that VRLA then inspired Mich and Dylan to team up and start their own meetup in Orange County, the home of Oculus VR. The meetup bug is spreading, and it isn’t showing signs of slowing.
Being located in the backyard of Oculus VR doesn’t mean they can wander in and play whenever they want. Mich explains how a simple game of basketball with the right folks prompted Oculus to show off their DK2 setup at the Orange County VR Meetup.
We discuss which games and peripherals were showcased at their meetup, which input devices we like, and our desires to build a Holodeck in our homes.
The next event that they are planning is a Game Jam/Hackathon to promote development and education in VR. We wish them all of the best with their future events.
