Take a master class on virtual reality via Twitter

Interested in trying your hand at virtual reality? IRL VR and Scroll Kit founder Cody Brown is conducting a master class in room-scale VR. And he’s doing it over Twitter.
On a post on Medium, he issued a challenge to aspiring developers to create a new VR experience each week for the next four weeks. Don’t worry: he’ll be eating his own dog food, dropping one new VR creation each Thursday, beginning tomorrow. As he wrote on Medium, he intends to release a VR product each Thursday, then publish a post about the experience the next day.
If you’re hesitant to join in, it’s helpful to know that even Brown admits he’s a relative noob. But, as he’s professed in the past, he sees VR as an important technology to figure out: “our generation’s Commodore 64.”

New challenge. Ship 4 roomscale VR experiences in 4 weeks. Anyone want to join? All skill sets welcome! https://t.co/z0AAYZ6enO

“It doesn’t matter if you’ve been developing AAA games for a decade, when it comes to interaction design, roomscale VR opens Pandora’s box,” he wrote.
Further down, he noted, “These experiences aren’t likely to be very good and this is probably going to be a little humiliating but that’s the point.”
