Virtual Reality
My name is Sébastien Kuntz (aka ‘cb’ or ‘CbWan’). I’m currently living in Paris, France.
I’m an independant consultant / developper in VR.
I have worked at Virtools / Dassault Systèmes with David Nahon, as the lead Virtual Reality engineer for four years.
I have also worked several years on a VR Engine and VR Simulators with a high level of interactivity at SNCF (french railways), with Philippe David.
Recently I have co-chaired the first 3D User Interfaces (3DUI) Grand Prize (see the results).
In real life I enjoy photography, sport (climbing, street hockey, freefall.. ), going to concerts and way too much other things.
My goal is to provide the most immersive experiences in VR to everyone, which means trying to find the cheapest way to have a great immersion.
Here are two examples of VR setups I’ve created for cheap : HMD Kit, Wall Kit.
Hire me !
My dream job is working on VR games and/or design a complete VR game system for Sony, Microsoft or anyone serious about this !
In the meantime, I’m available as an independant contractor.
You can write to me on my email, which is located on top of the calendar on the left.

Hi,
thank you for your nice words =)
For a list of the different applications your could start by reading this article : http://cb.nowan.net/blog/state-of-vr/
Then you can also create your own field, there is a lot to be created!
Then it also depends on wether you want to be on the low level programming side, or the 3D modelling side, or the experience creation (high level scriptig).
Anyway, do what you like, happiness will follow =)
Let me know about your decision and maybe see you one day in Malaysia !
cheers

Hi, your site is one of the few truly informative HMD sites on the net, thanks for your efforts.
Have you come across the VR1440? It appears to be a succesor to the VR920 for consumer use, but information is scarce.

Hi Neil,
I have never heard of this HMD but I sure hope it has more resolution and FOV =)
Let me know if you find more information !
