Defining VRX (Creating a UX for VR)

As VR emerges as the next computing platform (VR/AR), new lessons and old are needed to understand how to create a VRX, a user experience for the emerging platform of VR. Hear lessons learned as Rafael explains how he and his team of veteran first person game developers took their approach of creating immersive, emergent, interactive game simulations into VR. VRX covers posture, view, audio, controllers, body, motion input, object interaction, and navigation, with lessons and examples drawn from their first project. The goal is to build a heightened sense of presence that allows the user to feel transported.
