TECHNOLOGY IS NEVER AS NEW AS IT LOOKS.

Computer Picnic is an editorial project by Niki Selken connecting today’s technology stories to overlooked histories in art, media, books, and internet culture.

#Flowerpower My First VR World

October 11, 2016

My research at the Gray Area Foundation for Art and Technology is all about Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality. I've been working on learning Unity for mapping with AR and 3D with VR. My two VR headsets are Cardboard and HTC Vive. I was looking through some of my magazines for inspiration and I remembered a copy of NEST that I have from the year 2000. It had am AMAZING room in that issue with people who had scratch off clothes on the cover. I've always wanted to live in that room and in fact I tried recreating it in my own room and car (in college). So I thought, why not make it in VR?
