En Guarde! Couch Knights and the Oculus Rift at PAX East

Hanson software engineer David Williams writes about his experience testing the Oculus Rift dev kit 2 and Couch Knights at PAX East 2014.

While there were a lot of cool things demoed at PAX East 2014, the most exciting part of my experience there was getting to try the latest version of the Oculus Rift. The Oculus Rift, for the unaware, is a head-mounted virtual reality display. VR headsets have been forgotten about or made fun of since the mid-90s (rightfully), but the Rift shows that technology can now do the concept justice.

Hanson often provides hosting recommendations, solutions and services to our clients. Like most technologies we deal with, this is a rapidly evolving part of web development.

So for those interested in a little technology time travel, I present: the evolution of web hosting.
