I recorded this short video today of me in my VR Home. My VR home can really be anything–one of thousands of VR spaces created by other VR users, professionals, or teams of video game designers as a setting ripped out of a video game they designed. I could even design my own home, from scratch, using any materials or “assets” that I want to. Some day, I’d like to do that, but the time involved to do it probably means I’ll have to wait until I retire.

For now I’ll play around with, and customize, other people’s places. At this time I am using the Supervillian Lair from the class game Team Fortress II. It includes a ton of detail and interactive items and lost of really old 50’s and 60’s vintage mainframe computer hardware. Right up my alley!

Sorry about my chair blocking part of my inset camera, I missed that until I was done recording and didn’t feel like doing it all over again. It only blocks my legs and my Ninja VR pad, so it doesn’t effect the video at all.

Most of the jitters and glitches you see are just limitations in the recording I think. My VR home actually looks quite smooth when I’m actually in it, and things run pretty smoothly overall. I see it at 144hz, so it’s even much clearer than watching most video screens, and it’s very easy on the eyes. I can spend hours in VR with no ill effects at all–and I often do. I think there might actually be some slight long-term effects though–sometimes I tend to wonder if we’re ALL just in one big virtual experiment–like the Matrix–and we just don’t know it.
