Just weeks after its launch Hypernetec sits down for a quick chat with HTC's product lead for Virtual Reality in Europe Graham Green.

Graham discusses the early response to HTC's groundbreaking headset, the complexities of its rollout of and gives away a few clues about its bright and exciting future.

Hypernetec sits down for a quick chat with Jo Ryan, the creator of VRGO, the virtual reality chair.

Movement is a big challenge for VR, and VRGO represents an innovative solution. By tilting the chair, a player can 'walk' in that same direction inside a virtual space.

The VRGO is also omnidirectional and can be tilted and spun in any direction. It functions as a Bluetooth controller and uses built-in motion sensors to detect which direction the player is facing. It also works with game controllers, keyboards and joypads.

Jo hopes that this particular approach can help lessen movement and balance issues that some people may experience in virtual reality and lead to a more natural, comfortable and immersive way of experiencing virtual worlds.

Hypernetec chats with Katie Goode, Creative Director at award winning VR game company Triangular Pixels. Katie is one of the leading members of the UK VR community and has already garnered considerable respect for championing gaming that is both inherently social and deeply accessible.

The Future of Our Digital Senses

Adrian David Cheok is currently Professor of Pervasive Computing at City University London and the Founder and Director of the Mixed Reality Lab, Singapore. A gifted inventor, academic and speaker, with an impressive research pedigree; his work ranges across wearable computers, ubiquitous computing and pervasive and virtual computer realities.

For Cheok, nothing less than "the next level of the Internet" will suffice. He wants to create a sensing symbiosis - between humans and machines and the analog and digital world. He is striving to form a new sensory vocabulary, that redefines what we experience. If he is successful, the way we perceive our world and the way we sense our reality may be altered drastically forever.
