Welcome
To My Exploration of VR and the WebIvan the Great or Ivan the Terrible?
I don’t like to talk about myself very much, so I am going to keep this brief. My name is Ivan Klus, as you probably already know, and I am a front-end web and virtual reality developer. I have had the privilege of doing VR work with multiple prominent companies including Boeing and Cincinnati Children's Hospital. For Boeing, I developed Boeing Onboard (BO) in Unity. BO is an augmented reality assistant and interface that provides passengers with curated info and entertainment. Currently, it is a top 3 finalist for a 2018 Crystal Cabin Award. For Cincinnati Children's Hospital, I constructed an online virtual tour of their Proton Therapy Center and surrounding campus. The webVR tour included the ability to go on narrated premade tours, as well as the ability create custom tours you could share via link.

To explore this forest, just click the button below. Once you are in there, click and drag to look around and use the W,A,S,D keys to move. Lastly, if you get bored, just reload the page. It is a new forest every time.

Ready Player One Used Oculus, Vive And HoloLens For Virtual Production
In a recent interview, Spielberg noted that the production crew used “Oculus goggles” to recreate the Oasis metaverse. This way, actors could put a headset on and see what the world of the finished product would really look like giving them context for their acting.
