UO360 - VR 4+

I thought we were supposed to be like somewhat aware of consuming products. No doubt this isn’t the WORST thing possible but they are basically being sent just to be thrown away! Especially if they are sending them to everyone which might not be the case, but still. I’m already signed up for this school but if I wasn’t I probably would take this as a sign they care more about money than the environment. I wish that they had done an opt in in the acceptance letter or something. Like if you wanted one you could just send an included postcard with pre-paid postage back to the u of o. That way it could be easily accessible and not nearly as wasteful. Although sending information about what parts are recyclable would be nice too. Or including information about recycling it later on campus.

All in all the vr set isn’t well made, the cardboard broke when I opened it rendering it much harder to use as I had to hold my phone in place. It’s not badly designed and the app itself was decently immersive(the only reason I didn’t give it one star.) but yeah opt in swag would’ve been nice, like the choice between a cardboard headset, a cheap t-shirt or a set of cheap stickers. Might be harder for actual people, or not as hard if less people send the postcard back…

Awesome app concept, however, the latest VR goggles do not fit the latest phones 😔

The app was clean of bugs, full of information, and amazing videos of activities ranging although out the campus and it’s many amenities. Also not to mention it’s a great accommodation for those who cannot afford to visit out of state campuses. I’m lucky enough to have been awarded a scholarship to be able to afford possibly attending here and this just made my decision on going to UO a little clearer. It’s certainly higher on my list compared to the other colleges. and not to mention the VR set I received in the mail was cardboard which you can recycle once done with. Glad to see y’all looking out of the environment. THANK YOU UO!!
