    Many likely won't get the context, so just to clarify I am assisting Marlon to learn how to set up and give VR demos for people with disabilities, in conjunction with Life Stream staff, an organisation that provides respite services for people with disabilities.

    As you can probably tell Marlon is very excited that some very expensive equipment is being sourced for that pupose, which includes an Alienware 15 R3 1 laptop:

    i7-7820HK (Quad-Core, 8MB Cache, Overclocking up to 4.4GHz )
    16GB, DDR4, 2400MHz
    GTX 1070,
    512GB SSD + 1TB hard drive.

    A Vive, complete with Deluxe Audio Strap, and other things like portable tripods for the Vive Basestations.

    As an aside I will help support Marlon in doing VR demos for the International Federation for Intellectual Disability Sport (Inas) Global Games, to be held in Brisbane Australia in 2019.

    While this post is about VR it is not specifically motion related, so @Pit could you please move it to Off Topic when you have a spare momement.

    VR is really amazing, Marlon! Have you tried Noorbeast's setup? I'd bet you have but it puts you in the planes and in the cars! I love it!

    It's really strange to put on a headset and be transported to new places and experiences. Ones I also really like are The Blu (underwater whale and fish encounter), Apollo 11 (you get to land on the moon but it costs a few dollars), Titanic Honor and Glory (you get to explore the Titanic and it's a work in progress). There is some cool stuff out there!

    Enjoy! :thumbs
