Rev VR Podcast – Episode 49: Losing your VRGinity at the CDVR, Ready Player One, PrioVR, and Phantom Limbs

Mar 6, 2014

Denver Stewart, a grad student from the University of Cincinnati, shares his experiences at the Cincinnati / Dayton VR Meetup and explains his plans to treat Phantom Limb Syndrome

One of the nice things about the CDVR Meetup was the amount of networking that occurred. It was nice to talk to so many like-minded folks who are all equally passionate about the upcoming VR revolution.

Denver reached out to me prior to the meetup with ambitions to get their early and try some exclusive demos. Unfortunately, “best laid plans” did go awry. By the time he got there, it was already a booming crowd and my exclusive attention was far from available.

We discuss Denver’s first VR experiences, which started with Red Frame. He attempted the VR Chat as well, but it didn’t appeal to him as much. Denver also got a chance to try the Core PrioVR suit, which he is excited about.

Denver is deep into the book, Ready Player One, which led us down the path of discussing dystopian futures and hoverboards. I then gave Denver the opportunity to share with us his presentation on treating Phantom Limb Syndrome using VR technology.

A few announcements…
