It was too early for Unity, but they taught me about C++, C#, Java, OpenCV, OpenGL and other fancy development stuff. In that period, the Oculus DK2 ordered by Gianni arrived, and he told me that I should go to his office to try that device, and my reaction at that time was like “Oculus what??”

I believe VR is an incredible tool for empathy and by showcasing these kinds of stories we can imbue our lives with a little more hope and joy.
