Projects:2019:VR/Gaming setup

In 2018 Someone donated their HTC Vive VR headset to the space, in addition to that we also have (or used to have) a oculus rift DK1.

This prompted us to make a VR/Gaming setup for the space.

This project was finished in February 2019 with a PC that can be used for gaming, VR and other programming in the space.
