Victory Motorcycles VR experience: Marc Jensen – space150

space150 recently partnered with Victory Motorcycles (Polaris Industries) to create a first-of-its-kind virtual reality ride that transported Chicago International Motorcycle Show attendees to Sturgis—through the Badlands and Needles of South Dakota.

This talk will be a deep dive covering all aspects of the project including:

  • Early VR R&D work at spaceLab
  • Guided vs direct user controls
  • Tricks for representing the Virtual Self
  • Passive and active haptics
  • Experience design for first-time VR users
  • VR exhibiting tips for tradeshows

SVVR Highlights: Zach Wendt

 

The Silicon Valley Virtual Reality Conference & Expo was 5/18. Informal photos and highlights of the best talks and demos at the show.

 

Software for Good is on the 3rd floor above The Bulldog NE. Go through the glass door and up 3 flights of stairs. Please plan for traffic and parking so you can arrive before the door locks at 7.  There is street parking all around the building. The nearest ramp is a block away by Ginger Hop.

 

Schedule:

6:30 Social and setup
7:00 Zach Wendt
7:15 Mark Jensen
8:30 Typical wrap up

After, we’ll head to one of the many great bars within a block.
