Are 360 Videos Good Virtual Reality Experiences?

April 8, 2016 By Ritchie

  As a consumer of virtual reality hardware and software, I’ve been blown away with the variety and depth of the VR content that I’ve been able to either purchase or try out over the last year. It’s very easy to become a little jaded after experiencing professional content of computer generated and video-based producers. […]

Insta360 4K 360 Camera Review

March 31, 2016 By Ritchie

As many of you would know, I’m quite the fan of 360 camera technology, especially with its relationship to VR and Google Cardboard content. I’ve had a lot of fun with the V.360 sports 360 degree camera around the beautiful sights of Sydney, even so far as attaching the 360 camera to my scooter and […]

A Virtual World Of Opportunity – The Business of VR

February 25, 2016 By Ritchie

I’m dangling off the edge of an airborne helicopter, watching wildlife scatter as we pass over them in a flurry of sound and wind. I look back at the running wildebeests as we fly low and fast. I look up and see the helicopter rotor blades and wonder why I can’t feel a blast of […]

Samsung Gears Up For Virtual Success

February 22, 2016 By Ritchie

If you follow my Youtube channel or this website, you’ll know I’m pretty excited about the emergence of virtual reality and 360 cameras. Aside from Google Cardboard (which I’ve documented many times), I’ve been most impressed with the combination of the Samsung Gear VR with their Galaxy S6 line up (along with the Note 4 […]

Here Active Listening Wireless Earbuds Review

February 19, 2016 By Ritchie

When I was a kid, I used to put music on the family’s large speaker system and cup my ears towards the sound, making my own personal sound shaping experience. If you do it yourself now, you’ll know what I mean – cup your hands and place them behind your ears. You get a very […]

360 Degree Video Review & Camera Demo

July 27, 2015 By Ritchie

Now and then along comes technology that really does blow people away. I’ve been showing friends my 360 Youtube videos and it’s literally the first time they’ve seen this format of video before. The combination of amazement and confusion while trying to work out exactly what is going on in the YouTube player while they […]

The Dangers (And Thrills) of 360 VR Videos

January 8, 2015 By Ritchie

Let me show you one of the benefits of having a full 360 degree camera vision. Now, there may or may not be something suspicious going on in the front row of the Paul McCartney VR performance produced by Jaunt, but I just had to put it out there to see what you guys think. […]

Virtual Reality Videos Compared – 360 vs 180

January 6, 2015 By Ritchie

I thought we’d have a little chat about what VR video is all about. I’m going to use the Paul McCartney and Coldplay VR content as two examples of how different a VR experience can be depending on how it’s been produced. Firstly, both of these are available on both Google CardBoard and Gear VR […]

Samsung Gear VR Milk VR App Review

January 5, 2015 By Ritchie

For VR to truly become a commercial success, compelling reasons for end users to invest in a headset need to become reality. Aside from games and experiential apps, one of the big drivers will undoubtedly be video content. Samsung this week released a curated video app called Milk VR, a further branch of their existing […]
