total nerds I was studying architecture at Middlebury I graduated and decided to
at Middlebury I graduated and decided to
at Middlebury I graduated and decided to go into consulting this is me playing
go into consulting this is me playing
go into consulting this is me playing with three different computers at once
with three different computers at once
with three different computers at once figuring out how to do renderings for

and in this consulting job we were doing
and in this consulting job we were doing a lot of visualizations right so this is
a lot of visualizations right so this is
a lot of visualizations right so this is a 3d model that I made for Connor homes
a 3d model that I made for Connor homes
a 3d model that I made for Connor homes we photoshopped it into a photo and then
we photoshopped it into a photo and then
we photoshopped it into a photo and then they use that to sell clients on
they use that to sell clients on
they use that to sell clients on projects Nate was doing a lot of the
projects Nate was doing a lot of the
projects Nate was doing a lot of the backend stuff I was doing more the
backend stuff I was doing more the
backend stuff I was doing more the front-end design and we worked together
front-end design and we worked together
front-end design and we worked together a lot on that on that company and then
a lot on that on that company and then
a lot on that on that company and then about a year ago as well I finally got
about a year ago as well I finally got
about a year ago as well I finally got my hands on this and I’ll let Nate sort
my hands on this and I’ll let Nate sort
my hands on this and I’ll let Nate sort of walk through the technology of the

essentially what this is is its
essentially what this is is its technology that’s being developed for
technology that’s being developed for

it tracks your head motion as you look around so they had a pretty successful
around so they had a pretty successful
around so they had a pretty successful Kickstarter campaign and and really it
Kickstarter campaign and and really it
Kickstarter campaign and and really it really took off as you can see ten times
really took off as you can see ten times
really took off as you can see ten times what their goal was and the reason being
what their goal was and the reason being
what their goal was and the reason being I think because the price point is very
I think because the price point is very
I think because the price point is very low and ultimately the technology is
low and ultimately the technology is
low and ultimately the technology is pretty accessible to the masses so
pretty accessible to the masses so
pretty accessible to the masses so that’s what makes this device different
that’s what makes this device different
that’s what makes this device different than virtual reality that’s come before

people got really excited about it facebook bought oculus rift for two
facebook bought oculus rift for two
facebook bought oculus rift for two billion dollars in April so there was a

industry right we’re in architecture and
industry right we’re in architecture and three modeling is there someone taking
three modeling is there someone taking
three modeling is there someone taking 3d files and putting them into the
