VR Update 3 and Overheating Solution

There’s too much going on with my new VR to write about it all. Today I’m downloading a bunch of free games and apps including VR museums and many other things that seem interesting. I also tested Samsung Milk VR and saw the beginning of an amazing VR documentary about people in Nepal. Its like you’re standing right there in these villages in Nepal. Amazing.

I also found a *really* fun game: VRAsteroids! Basically its like taking traditional Asteroids to a totally new level where the asteroids are coming at you from 3 dimensions. The graphics are good and its fun. Also no motion sickness whatsoever.

Another thing I loved was this short VR experience-type adventure called Colosse. Its basically a short-story in a VR world. Its the kind of thing I imagined would be a cool use of VR and it is. I can see people getting into designing a lot more really cool VR spaces/adventures like this.

Another one I tried today was VR Orchestra – again a somewhat brief but cool experience where you are actually present in VR with an orchestra.

Had another overheating issue again today with the Note 4. Did some more researching and it looks like the way to solve it is to order a 3D print of a custom cover which can be fitted with a cooling fan to provide active cooling. Here is an example.

At this point I can say that getting a Gear VR is definitely worth it and I can recommend it to anyone who wants to try new experiences.
