First experience of virtual reality

Eden Haiku: Had my first experience in virtual reality yesterday.
Riddle Sideways: ?
Riddle Sideways: listens
Eden Haiku: At the Montreal's Great Library
Eden Haiku: An exhibition with the cask and swiveling chair. One hour of visiting 10 world's libraries. Fascinating!
Bleu Oleander: fun!
Eden Haiku: Fascinating indeed!
Riddle Sideways: http://montrealgazette.com/news/loca...brary-at-night
Riddle Sideways: yes, swivel chair are much better than trying to stand
Eden Haiku: Where did you try it Riddle?
Riddle Sideways: at home, got a Google Cardboard last year
Eden Haiku: oh wow! It's quite immersive isn' it?
Eden Haiku: Given the not yet perfect technology, it's amazing how real it feels!
Riddle Sideways: did you get dizzy?
Riddle Sideways: some people do
Eden Haiku: Did you ever try Bleu?
Bleu Oleander: no not yet :)
Eden Haiku: No Riddle, not dizzy at all, even when standing in mid-air in the stars over Alexandria Library!
Eden Haiku: What was so strange was looking down at the floor and your invisible feet!
Riddle Sideways: :)
Eden Haiku: Putting one's hands in front of your eyes and not seeing them!
Riddle Sideways: and some of those systems are coming along
Riddle Sideways: where you can see your avatar's feet and hands
Eden Haiku: Yep, I was very excited about knowing that is is close-by, even for SL right?
Riddle Sideways: right
Riddle Sideways: movement is a little strange yet
Bleu Oleander: next year?
Eden Haiku: Ah, we didn't have an avatar at the library though.
Riddle Sideways: Occulis rife(sp?) has a beta SL viewer now
Eden Haiku: There was a loud noise at some point (From RL) and I got anxious, not being able to see.
Riddle Sideways: and High Fedelity is getting better all the time now
Riddle Sideways: :)
Eden Haiku: Didn't want to take out the cask though :)
Bleu Oleander: :)
Riddle Sideways: could you move forward/backward by titling your head?

[I'm adding a link to a 30 secs video about the experience: https://youtu.be/Z4QNlurDaNc]

Eden Haiku: There was a Audubon's book about birds being shown by a librarian and the live birds were flying about in the library! Blue jays, even an owl!
Bleu Oleander: cool !
Eden Haiku: Could go from one library to the next by moving my head. It kind of clicked the next visit.
Riddle Sideways: cool, having the book come alive
Riddle Sideways: ah, to visit the library at Alexandra
Eden Haiku: And in a Copenhagen library where books are not available to consult anymore, just like decorations on tablets, you could see transparent people from times past climbing stairs and taking out books. Their texture was different from the contemporary cleaning lady who seemed so real!
Riddle Sideways: AR - Augmented Reality
Eden Haiku: I was dissapointed we had no views of Alexandria's new modern library though, except from afar.
Eden Haiku: Ah, it's augmented when details are added?
Riddle Sideways: would like to walk around the old library

Reality is a fuzzy word

Bleu Oleander: reality is a fuzzy word :)
Riddle Sideways: yes it is, Bleu
Eden Haiku: Yes, me too. There were scenes with scribes and rolls of papyrus but it didn't feel real...
Eden Haiku: reality is indeed a fuzzy word Bleu :)
Riddle Sideways: AR uses the camera in the goggles/phone to show RL and then adds tagged additional images/info
Riddle Sideways: and can show your feet
Eden Haiku: Ah yes, Riddle, like addresses, websites and such? Oh and feet!
Riddle Sideways: there is a museum tour that shows egyptian art from all angles
Eden Haiku: Waking up this morning, I visualized going through the PaB village with this virtual reality gear. Not following Eden but seeing with my own eyes. It felt very different.
Bleu Oleander: you separate seeing through Eden with seeing with your own eyes?

--BELL--

Eden Haiku: Not before but compared to how I saw yesterday, yes.
Bleu Oleander: more like mouseview?
Riddle Sideways: yes
Eden Haiku: My house seemed too big to be so close by this transparent pavilion?
Riddle Sideways: :)
Bleu Oleander: :)
Bleu Oleander: maybe need to re-build ... something more transparent?
Eden Haiku: I'm thinking about installing some lighter structure
Eden Haiku: Yes, more transpraent
Bleu Oleander: will be fun to see what you do
Eden Haiku: ;)
Bleu Oleander: I do like your tree tho
Eden Haiku: yes, I think I will add more trees...
Riddle Sideways: yes, had to try and buy a tree like it
Eden Haiku: Will explore possibilities
Bleu Oleander: I always feel reluctant to take down what I build, but almost always like my new builds better :)
Bleu Oleander: the fun is in the creation
Bleu Oleander: I think I will change my garden area and keep that as a revolving design
Eden Haiku: My buildings skills being limited, I just hope I won't ruin the landscaping...
Bleu Oleander: well it is here to play with :)
Bleu Oleander: so have fun
Bleu Oleander: can always put your house back
Eden Haiku: Ok, then . As long as you can repair any mishap Bleu :)
Bleu Oleander: ha ha!
Bleu Oleander: keep a copy of your house
Eden Haiku: If I dig too pro [profound I meant]
Riddle Sideways: remembering that you lost a plant underground
Riddle Sideways: :)
Eden Haiku: yes, will do :)
Bleu Oleander: yes you have some flowers underground
Eden Haiku: Yes, you understand how I can lose tracks of things Riddle :)
Bleu Oleander: can cam down and see
Eden Haiku: it will be easier to fetch them when I take down the house :)
Riddle Sideways: grass is very hard to select to move
Bleu Oleander: a trick is to select something else first, then click on your grass
Bleu Oleander: or just open the edit window
Bleu Oleander: and click on the grass
Bleu Oleander: makes selection easier
Eden Haiku: Would any of you have a link for a place with Mongolilan yourts? [I meant Mongolian yurts...Typos!!!]
Riddle Sideways: and terraforming is too hard to get correct
Bleu Oleander: not sure what that is Eden :)
