Default Calgary VR (Oculus Rift) Event

Hi All!! I held one of these a couple years ago and it was a lot of fun. Anyway, I wanted to know if there would be any interest out there for another one? Since the last one, the tech has come a long way. I think it would be fun!
I already have a venue lined up, so let me know what you think. Here is a vid of the last time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IUUZMK9kwSs

Also, cheap beer!

Absolutely!

Memory Express had two going during the Comic Expo but the line was long so I did not bother trying them out. I mentioned at that time to my friend that I was hoping you would host another event as I have yet to experience them.

I really want to try GTA V with them!

I've tried videos like this with the poor man's oculus... IE: magic eye your eyes.

Yep, I'd totally be interested in checking this out! I've only ever played with the Google Cardboard, and have never got my hands on the Oculus. So if this happens, I'll be there.

Cool!

I'd just be worried about all the pink eye getting passed around.

Love to check it out. Dumb question maybe, but are there local developers playing with different ways to use the technology?
