So last night, for the first time, I got my calibrated hands into the VR world. First I had only viewed them on a 2d screen, which was a sort of detached amusement… it felt like operating a robot through telemetry.
Last night, though, I got them in real 3d space, in VR, with perfect calibration… so that I perceived my hands to be precisely where they were in real space, in a virtual environment. I brought my hands right up to my face, and there they were… The effect was similar to my first dive into modern VR… utterly profound.
All night I dreamed about hands, and virtual hands, and virtual keyboards and virtual iPhones. Today, I place the hands into the worlds I’ve been building for the past year, and we see what we can do…
