My name is Ian Hamilton. I’m the owner of this website, goodvirtualreality.com, and I’m a journalist. My work here is driven by my human curiosity as well as the direct connections I make to people out there who believe in what they do with their whole heart. Some weeks ago a subscriber sent me the following message using the chat features of Substack: “You’ve interviewed so many developers, builders, journalists, and people working inside XR, but I realized I have not heard your own VR story in the same full way. As someone who loves VR, XR, and the whole emerging medium, I would love to hear an episode where the community gets to interview you.” What followed from my reader Christopher were 10 extremely engaging questions I’ve had on the back-burner of my brain: * What was the first VR experience that made you realize this medium was not just another gaming peripheral, but something larger? * When you first became a VR journalist, what did you think VR was going to become — and how has reality surprised you? * What was the biggest story you covered at UploadVR that changed how you understood the industry? * What is one VR demo, headset reveal, developer interview, or convention moment that still lives in your memory because it felt like seeing the future early? * What did working on VR Download teach you about explaining VR to people who are not inside the industry? * Do you have any funny or human behind-the-scenes stories from VR Download — technical disasters, awkward live moments, accidental comedy, spilled drinks, broken headsets, anything listeners never got to hear? * What are some of your favorite positive memories of working with David Heaney or the UploadVR team during the best years of the show?…","meta_description":"Welcome to Good Virtual Reality and I’m so glad you’re here.
