Last week on 10th May 2014, I got a chance to test this new tech gadget called Google Glass at Multimedia University (MMU) in Cyberjaya, Malaysia. It uses the technology related with augmented reality or famously known as AR. I think I look like a Borg character from the “Star Trek” movies only the much more good looking version 🙂

Later, after a few setting from the demo assistance, a virtual screen appeared just in front of me. It seems like the box is floating around one metre in front of me and it looks a little bit overlapped with other real objects. Hence, to get the best effect, it is better to view it in front of a blank wall.

Last week, on 10th May 2014, I attended an event held at Multimedia University (MMU) which is located in Cyberjaya, Malaysia. During the event, MMU also showcased some of the latest product and innovation related with virtual reality or simulated environment world. One that attracted me and keep me excited that night is the Oculus Rift VR system. Although knowing and reading about it since last year, this is actually my first time trying the much hype and popular Oculus Rift. I was too excited about it that I tried it quite a few times.
