VR on the GO

What the talk is about

Evgeny Ovcharenko describes how his team built a VR experience for Oculus Go for a large postal company that wanted to promote new stamps featuring dragons. The key idea: instead of a classic 3D pipeline with modeling, rigging and careful animation, they flew a ready-made dragon model with a controller in real time and recorded the flight. The recording gives an array of user actions that is easy to review and adjust, then render as high-quality 360 video and embed in the app. He advises not skipping rough animation and storyboard stages and iterating with the client, since late changes are costly. In the Q&A he covers drawing attention in a 360 scene with sound and motion, VR for training and medicine, and immersing deeply in the client's field. Useful for studios building VR for business.
