As we struggle to fire up all cylinders back at the office after a long weekend of transition from late Summer to early Fall, we thought we would share an entertaining video showing “elders” experiencing the Oculus Rift for the very first time. Â This video is brought to you by the creative elves at Fine Brothers Productions who have a pretty popular YouTube channel. Â The video, “Elders React to Oculus Rift” has already been viewed over 4.1 million times. Â Of course the video includes the
obligatory trip down the virtual roller coaster.
Oculus famously raised over $2.4 million on Kickstarter back in 2012. Â The company delivered a prototype VR goggles that is every serious gamers dream device. Â Oculus went on to sell the company in a $2 billion transaction with Facebook igniting crowdfunding passion around the globe. Many industry followers used the Oculus example to show how the hoi-polloi were missing out on early stage investing (since the legislative & regulatory class currently ban most of us from investing in deals like this). Â Regardless of your opinion, watch the video as its pretty cool. Â And get ready to purchase a pair next year as Virtual Reality finally hits the mainstream consumer.
