We'll see if I get all or any of those things successfully completed, but I will be talking a little bit here about what the experience is like to attend a conference in VR using a VR headset. Some of the time I'll spend, of course, on the laptop, recording clips and catching screenshots and stuff for coverage on Coderightplay dot com, my website. But I'm going try to share a little bit of that experience here as well. So stay tuned for that

Speakers not able to get into events, people wandering in in the middle of presentations and sort of finding their way into the center of the stage and looking around like not knowing where to go and stuff. It's kind of very funny, actually, I'm hoping at this point my goal is to attend any event in VR space before this three day event is over. If I can do that, I can do my best coverage possible

The good old growing pains of VR. It's interesting how this new paradigm is definitely going to be focusing people on trying to solve these problems and working stuff out. It also shows you just how new we are to trying to actually accomplish stuff like that. So I look forward to hearing some more about your situation and how that thing worked out. I've been playing with VR since I had the original Oculus CV one before that, I had the DK two and the DK one

Barr no light at the end of the tech trouble tunnel, we will see if I get to get into the event at all. So again, my goal is to do one activity during this conference in VR. We will see if it happens. I guess that's that's for today. I'll post up if I get that post on coderightplay. Com

And I wanted to cover that, and I wanted it to be the way the other attendees got to do it. If this was in person, it'd be no problem. They would sort me out right away, and then I would go. So if I'm going to write anything compelling this week, it's probably going to be something about how far we have to go before VR conferences are really viable, because I am far from the only person having trouble

Good morning, Todd. Sorry to hear you're still having issues with the OVR conference, but just wanted to let you know that you inspired me to actually bring my CV one with me to work and plug it in. Try out that little productivity app you were talking about. Plus, I've got SketchUp VR. They've got a deal. So I wanted to look at some of the three models of the cabinets and cabinet shop stuff I do and take a look at it

So all things being equal, who knows? They might have brought me out in person if they could have if they were doing this in person, maybe I'll get to go out there sometimes. So I will still write in a roundabout and sort of general fashion about some of the things we have to correct for VR meeting spaces and productivity in general. And I'll let that be that Microsoft flight simulator is out today. Maybe I can get that downloaded. Lots of good things going on

Good morning, everybody. Wouldn't you know, it going into day three, final day of the Audio Engineering Society's International Conference on Audio for Augmented Reality Reality and Virtual reality. See how good I got it saying 2020 crap going into the final day. Lo and behold. After yesterday I told the PR person I've been in contact with. No problem. Thanks for all your help on all this, but I'm going to hang it up, not going to do any more coverage

Hey, Todd, so glad you got access to that. That's cool. And your little kids singing Jingle Bells is priceless. Look forward to hearing your feedback after you get through with your little foray into alt Space there. I remember when alt space first came out, when it first baited out. I think it was in the DK two days. I spent quite a bit of time in alt space before they sold it. And it was an interesting little space
