Hello everyone! My name is Nathan Del Rio and I am a Senior majoring in Networking & Telecommunications. I am planning to graduate this spring and hopefully land a job in the Kansas City Metro area. I am from Kansas City but I am hoping after a few years of experience I will be able to look for a job in Texas and start a new life out there.
For my research I do not yet have a specific idea yet but I want to research more into virtual reality and how it is becoming more integrated with everyday life such as the Metaverse becoming a thing.
Welcome to the class Nathan! I find virtual reality fascinating as well. I am surely a little older, and remember as a kid, that virtual reality was such a thing of science fiction. It also is interesting to me to learn more about the social/emotional interactions of the metaverse theory as compared to in person interaction. Its heady stuff all around and I never thought it would be so commonplace like it is today! Good luck this year with your research!
Nice to meet you Nathan! I think researching virtual reality would be very interesting because it is a new subject and no one knows exactly how it will be used in the future. I would also like to see what you can learn about the Metaverse, considering it is a brand new concept.
I played VR game at friend house and found it very cool,You can look around in the game world using your head. You manipulate the game world with the controllers, grabbing things with the middle finger trigger, using things with the index finger trigger. You move either by pointing at the ground and teleporting there, or smoothly with the joysticks.
It’s incredibly immersive, it’s nothing like playing on a monitor or TV. You feel like you are actually IN the game world.
Hello Nathan, It is nice to get to know you! I am also majoring in networking and telecommunications. I think that virtual reality is very interesting and is getting more popular every year. It is crazy to think about the metaverse and all the endless possibilities it brings. I look forward to collaborating more in the future because we are in the same group.
