<P><SPAN><STRONG>PLEASE NOTE: This class will take place over 2 nights, 1 week apart.</STRONG></SPAN></P>

<P><BR><STRONG>Class Description</STRONG></P>
<P>The first VR experience I ever made, back in 2013, just after the release of the first Oculus DK1, was called RiftChopper. In just<SPAN CLASS="lG">a</SPAN>few short sessions I made<SPAN CLASS="lG">a</SPAN>very compelling helicopter style flight experience which I brought up to the first public Oculus event where it was one of the best experiences on display.</P>
<P>Together, we will remake<SPAN CLASS="lG">a</SPAN>similar experience, focusing on an Oculus Rift playable experience, but in<SPAN CLASS="lG">a</SPAN>way that will be playable even for those who do not own<SPAN CLASS="lG">a</SPAN>Rift. In this two-day class, we will work together using the same techniques I use every day with my small team currently working on our first commercial VR release called "z0ne".</P>
<P>Since we have<SPAN CLASS="lG">a</SPAN>week in between the two classes, my hope is that we will interact online using the class's dedicated "Basecamp" site to which all students will have access before, during, and after the class.</P>
<P>We will use the awesome Plastic SCM Asset Control server which will allow everyone in the class to participate and to contribute to the project, at whatever level they desire.</P>
<P>Here you can see<SPAN CLASS="lG">a</SPAN>video I made back then showing the original experience we will seek to model : <A HREF="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BPuyQr9PFO4" TARGET="_blank" REL="noopener noreferrer noopener nofollow noopener noreferrer nofollow nofollow noreferrer nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BPuyQr9PFO4</A></P>
