Hi,

I’m way behind on my reading and just got to the Summer 2011 issue of Kill Screen magazine. It has a nice piece by Jon Irwin called “Seeing Red”… I don’t recall seeing this mentioned here, but I’ve scanned it in (poorly, sorry…) and will be uploading it soon. (it’s a 15MB pdf…).

I liked the additional history behind the tech I wasn’t aware of)

Cheers!

I am interested, it would be cool to read. 🙂

I’ve sent the pdf through the regular “submit news” form on the site. I hope it can handle the size. 15MB…

Yes, the history given in this article is excellent. Overall, the article is well-researched and well-written, and it even gives a good mention of Planet Virtual Boy, which is nice to see.

Now, the article just needs a little bit of Photoshop work done on it, to get the text more parallel with one’s computer screen. 😉

Thanks for sharing, nice article, some interesting things.

I doubt my boss would accept the same kind of thing if i fell asleep in a meeting (its happened) but I will keep that gem of an excuse just in case.

I’ll do ya one better (see attachment).

I agree; very nice article. Not the standard “here’s why the VB sucks” boilerplate that 99% of other articles offer as “journalism”. Kind of interesting that it was almost a Sony product 🙂

One possible nitpick: he says the prototype was called “VR3D”. I’m not 100% sure, but I think that should be “VR32”. Other than that, not too shabby.
