High-Dere

This week on High-Dere Ian & Joe check out, and they explore potential alternate realities with the Oculus Rift. How would they be able to handle an earthquake or California falling into the ocean through an Oculus Rift while dealing with perception vs. reality.

The Oculus Rift is notorious for messing with your equilibrium. Ian & Joe come up with a plethora of different applications and situations on the fly, geared around Oculus Rift with no research or confirmation beforehand, so they have no idea if what they’re coming up with already exists. Go figure!

Ian even pontificates about the future evolution of the technology, Geordi La Forge style. Would people supplement or replace our ability to actually see with our own eyes?

Would people ever use Oculus Rift as a method of “traveling the world?” They come up with radical ideas for adventure co-op games within a virtual world set within adaptable environments.

They also touch on the topics of Hotel demolition, holomapped advertising on the Grand Canyon vs. personal screensavers in Times Square, Dolly Parton, they find where Pigeon Forge, Tennessee is, why people insist on spoiling things like movie trailer releases, and Randy Quaid’s interesting rant. They back around to the Oculus Rift to talk about Trailers, Star Wars and imagine what the virtual world of Harry Potter would be like and how long until attending Hogwarts becomes a reality!

That, along with an early Star Wars prediction from Ian and a rough merchandise idea from Joe, wait for you on this week’s episode of High-Dere!
