The Market For Virtual Walkthrough

I found that amazed reaction when I met with some real estate companies to show our VR solutions. Everyone was aware that the technology is still under development and we couldn’t set a proper date to make business. But they sound quite comprehensive and looking for making their projects into VR.

Few time latter I found out that one of them indeed made the move into a arch-viz VR to show a new building inside a local mall using a Oculus VR DK1… well… seems that they looked after someone else to make the VR project for them and that another people indeed made it… the seller told me most of the people that used the oculus ended up sick and never came back…
Now, with all the negative feedback that the company had, I don’t thing they’ll be contacting anytime soon… maybe even after the consumer release of the Oculus VR… all because the market in Brazil is a little mess with unprepared companies trying to make money out of everything… right or wrong…

I find the reaction to Oculus Rift to be hit or miss. They either become amazed by it, or they think ‘so what’. The motion sickness is definitely a problem though, but it’s getting much better. I have a DK2 and it’s much better than the DK1 but there’s still a long way to go. Maybe in 2 or 3 years VR will really kick off.
