During the unboxing, I have to say that
I was impressed with the packaging. I don't normally care about or
notice such things, but this impacted me the same way that some Apple
product packaging has: it was very stylish and almost classy. Just
opening the box and removing the compartmentalized components made me
feel like I'd bought something special. The instructions were very
straight-forward and easy to follow, short and simple on each page. I
had it all hooked up in minutes and was ready to go. The device fit
easily onto my head and was surprisingly light and comfortable. The
only thing I didn't like was that it has a cord and I had to figure
out where to adjust that so it didn't interfere with my movements or
break my suspension of disbelief. I decided to purchase VR Worlds,
which has several short games. I first tried Ocean Descent, which is an
entirely passive experience where you just observe. You start in a
shark cage submerged in the ocean about 50 feet below the surface,
and are then slowly lowered down. I'll discuss reactions more
tomorrow, but I can tell you this--VR is not just another 3D-gimmick,
it is incredibly immersive, and I truly believe it will completely
change the future of gaming and entertainment!
