Timewalk: The next generation social platform

[John TimeWalk]

First of all, hello and nice to be here! 

We are a small team with very large ambitions, so we took on a massive project and now we need some support.

We want to create a new generation of social platforms. One that will see the users interact in a life size copy of the real world! The first steps have already been taken. We have recreated a small portion of Times Square, New York, added a little apartment, a few shops and some FUN! 

Head over to http://timewalk.tw and check it out! 

If you like what you see, we invite you to register on our website, after which you can download the Oculus App and run around in Times Square. You can check out the 2 shops, the apartment or you can climb to the top of a building and use a zip-line or jump and use a parachute (or not... :P).

We urge you to give us as much feedback as you want. We want our users to direct this project, therefore any input is appreciated, and all good suggestions will be taken into consideration and implemented in ways that will benefit the users.

And now for some eye-candy :)

And a short presentation of what we have done so far.

Looking forward to hearing from you guys!

PS: Since we are having some trouble implementing a fully functional UI for Oculus, our recommendation is to first download the regular application. You can still switch to Oculus-mode inside the app (functional with DK1), but before you do, you can familiarize yourself with the surroundings, commands, etc.

We would also like to mention that this is only a proof of concept. It may be buggy, it may run slowere here and there, but we are constantly working on improving the user experience. :)
