Game of Thrones Sky Cell tour in the Oculus Rift

Game of Thrones Sky Cell tour in the Oculus Rift

There are two things I can talk about forever (other than Office 365 of course) and they are Game of Thrones and the Oculus Rift. With the release of this nifty little Oculus demo I thought I would take a quick tour of the various Sky Cell experiences available in the Rift.

First off I just watched the episode in the Rift, Season 1 Episode 6 btw. Decent experience, but it defiantly would benefit from the increased resolution of DK2.

Next I tried the Oculus Demo, short and sweet. The music is a nice touch and it gives you a good sense of the surroundings if only you could see a little more.

Finally the best saved for last. The Sky Cells in the INCREDIBLE WesterosCraft for Minecraft. The level of detail and incredible immersion experienced in the Oculus Rift in this mod is beyond amazing. I could stare at the beauty of The Eyrie all day.

For comparison, both the show and the mod nail it.

The Eyrie in all its spectacular blocky Mincraft glory. Breathtaking.
