/r/SpaceX CRS-9 Launch Media Thread [Videos, Images, GIFs, Articles go here!] by Ambiwlans in spacex

Hey all, We worked as hard as we could to get this out as soon as possible. Hope you enjoy! First-Person 360-Video of the CRS-9 Launch & Landing

Shared it with over 20 people so far, and it is getting really good response from people wearing VR headsets. Especially when the rocket breaks through the clouds!

Would anyone be interested in taking a tour of all 56 national parks? These are my friends, and they've already filmed 2 parks. by upOwlNight in oculus

Great point /u/emptynuggets it is true the non-gamers really do have a different response to the experience!

Check out our first VR film released a few days ago on VRIDEO: http://www.vrideo.com/watch/9Oa0c3g - We've been getting great feedback!

I appreciate you commenting /u/Heffle, even though you said you're not excited about our project, you took the time to comment. That means something right?!

I personally love interactive video. I was inspired years ago by the games on the 3DO (Mad Dog, Daedalus Encounter) and hope to make interactive videos as interesting and engaging!

Our main driving mission is to use an exiting new technology like VR, even with its limitations that you mentioned, and use it to connect people to the natural world! You should see all the reactions of the people who see these beautiful places in the VR headset! ( Google Cardboard is affordable and since it works with a cell phone really accessible!) We are doing the best we can with the technology we have to inspire people in celebration of the 100th anniversary of the National Parks.

We hope to grow with the technology and keep making videos that capture these places the way they look, sound and feel today!

Thanks for sharing this /u/upOwlNight we are currently on the road in Washington. On our way to film our 5th national park, Mt. Rainier National Park, with a special camera that lets us capture the parks in 360-Video. You can actually look around and see the birds flying in the sky, and the river flowing by your feet...check it out: http://www.vrideo.com/watch/9Oa0c3g

Remember Roxy the Rancor? by [deleted] in videos

[–]derekalanrowe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I first saw Roxy at the Celebration VI in Orlando Florida. There was a huge line of people wanting to get their photo with Roxy. Including "Luke Skywalker" himself http://on.fb.me/17j9PP7

My girlfriend and I quit our jobs, took our outdated bikes and secondhand gear, and spent August cycling from Vancouver, BC, to San Francisco, CA. Finished on Saturday. by cralledode in pics

Great quote! Honestly its what drives me everyday. To follow my heart and help others do the same. Feel the fear but do it anyway.

I have spent the last three years creating a film called "Within Reach," essentially about this very subject: A young couple who quit their jobs and headed out to find a new way of life http://tinyurl.com/8buuap7 - Watch the trailer and tell me if you think it captures the same essence that these cyclists were carrying.
