About me
17:37 
My name is Sébastien Kuntz (aka ‘cb’ or ‘CbWan’). I’m currently living in Paris, France. My goal is to provide the most immersive experiences in VR to everyone, which means trying to find the best and cheapest ways to have a great immersion (software and hardware).
I’m the founder of ” i’m in VR “, a company focusing on Immersive VR tools, such as MiddleVR.
I have created the VR Geeks association, which aims at creating cheap VR experiences.
I’m a board member of the French VR association AFRV.
In 2010 I have co-chaired the first 3D User Interfaces (3DUI) Grand Prize (see the results, the CG&A coverage). I have also organized workshops at the AFRV 2011 and AFRV 2009 conferences concerning VR democratization.
I’m teaching VR at the INSA and the EFREI engineering schools, and at the game designers school ISART Digital.
I have worked at Virtools / Dassault Systèmes with David Nahon, as the lead Virtual Reality engineer for four years.
I have also worked four years on a VR Engine and two VR Simulators with a high level of interactivity (FIACRE and SIMURAT) at SNCF (french railways), with Philippe David. Both simulators won a Laval Virtual Award.
Academics: Committee member VRIC 2010 – Displays of the near future, 3DUI 2010 Contest Grand Prize Winners – IEEE CG&A 2010, VRST 2008 reviewer.
In real life I enjoy photography, sport (climbing, street hockey, freefall.. ), going to concerts and way too much other things.
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 !
