10 ways, we as
part of the VRCIM family, are connected (contributed by Sanjay Gowda):
(1) You are not
surprised when the birds flash – actually, you are encouraged that the
birds are talking to you.
(2) You agree that
Xpilot is a waste of time, yet you continue
to play it.
(3) You have
started to dose off while inside a HMD.
(4) You have spent
countless hours debugging transformation matrices and realize that
popmatrix is actually your friend.
(5) Your answer to
“Can you guys do it” is unequivocally yes (Even though you only
understood 60% of what was asked).
(6) You look at
the platform and think to yourself, self: who would be dumb enough to
move this across the state, by Uhaul, in the snow, even when told not
to by Uma.
(7) You know that
PACCAR stands for Pacific Car and Railroad.
(8) You master the
ability to get loaner software and hardware from anyone.
(9) A demo the
next day means that you *will* be up all night.
(10) The feeling
of getting your first VR application working is nirvana.
