The DreamCube Lets You Walk Into a Video GameLiterally making your way inside a video game sounds too good to be true, but it’s not and the technology for it is already here for us to enjoy.Here we havethe DreamCube brand and technology, developed by Local Projects along with Harves Global Entertainment and the MTM collective. It’s a 256-square-foot virtual reality room complete with advanced motion-tracking cameras and projection mapping hardware for a truly realistic gaming experience. With the DreamCube, the developers want to prevent us from using gaming as an excuse to isolate ourselves from others. By design, the virtual reality room is only three-sided. The empty back wall keeps us connected with our friends and the real world.“It’s kind of like a mixture of Topgolf, bowling, and karaoke,” says Jake Barton, a co-owner of DreamCube. “We’re also using a lot of VR conventions, but in a way that’s communal but not isolating. It’s a big investment into physical space, and a [mixed reality] platform that doesn’t involve cutting your senses off.”So far, the DreamCube brand has struck a deal with the NBA and also with the Manchester United soccer club. It’s only a matter of time until it can create more games for gamers to enjoy.Image: Harves#Gaming #DreamCube #virtual #virtualreality #NBA #videogame

This Website Lets You See The World Through Another Person’s WindowWe’re stuck at home. It’s a reality we cannot deny. For many of us, the farthest travel we may have recently taken was the trip to the grocery store. To the store and not much further. We’re frustrated. We’re itching to travel. Unfortunately, many of us can’t.Sonali and Vai, the team over at WindowSwap seem keenly aware of the situation, and perhaps they themselves have experienced, or are experiencing, the same frustration. In order to make the world a little bit better they created a website that provides people with a window to the world. It was a way in which one could “travel without moving.”“It’s here to fill that deep void in our wanderlust hearts by allowing us to look through someone else's window, somewhere in the world,” they say over at the website.“Let's travel without moving for now. Let's window swap.”Click here to go to the website.(Image Credit: WindowSwap)#Travel #Window #WindowSwap #Home #Virtual
