Google daydream and all its awesomeness.

Google Daydream 

At Google io in 2016,  Google announced: Google daydream. A platform that can bring VR to everyone throughout the use of mobile phones and their new viewer.
I was so inspired watching this I felt a need to make Daydream content.

However to be able to develop this you need a Google view (£69 from Google store) and a daydream ready phone (£599 and up from Google store).

I still plan to do this and will be buying a red viewer very soon (Im so excited XD) and will do an unboxing so look out for that!

Then I will be saving up for the pixel phone (which is beautiful) and then onward with making awesomeness.

Developing awesomeness 

Its not just awesome because of the new viewer and the new pixel phone but the amount of help from google for developers is amazing they already have SDK kits for Android, Unity and Unreal. Unity and Unreal and two powerful game engines both have pros and cons but both are great for making games.

I have experience in Unity but I plan to make my first Daydream content in Unreal. The reason for this is, 1 to widen my skills and 2 the graphics in Unreal are amazing and some of the shaders that have been made look unreal (excuse the pun).  I plan to make content that teaches the user about the brain in a fun and stylish way. I have always been interested in how the human brain works especially when we are asleep.  So in my last year of study where I can do basically anything for projects I decided to do this as one of my projects.

Overall I cant wait to start making this project and i'm sure there is many to come and I believe it will be a very good and more people will use it over the next five years.

BBC micro bit go un-boxing

The BBC micro bit  A while ago I attended Hacksoton  which is a hack day in Southampton, UK. It was a great day and I got to see and hear new and interesting technology (I would recommend for children and developers in the area). One of these technologies was the BBC Micro bit  . What is it for?  Its designed to get children into coding, you can use python, javascript or block editors. I loved them so much that I decided to get myself one as it can also be used with raspberry pi. So below is a video of me opening my micro bit go and I hope to do many exciting projects in the upcoming year and will be writing up about them so keep an eye out! What would you like to see with the micro bit? let me know in the comments below.
