Jerry's Place Uses the Oculus Rift to Recreate Seinfeld's Apartment

— March 6, 2014 — Tech
Jerry's Place is a project that revives a cult classic. Seinfeld was a huge show in the 90s and still holds incredible significance to this day. Jerry's apartment was the main set piece for the series and is the inspiration for the Oculus Rift-generated Jerry's Place.

The Oculus Rift is in its infancy right now, but the products that have been coming out for it show promise for the platform. There was a virtual reality Flappy Bird and even live concerts, so Jerry's Place fits right along with the theme.

The 3D model was created with Blender and the execution is used with the Oculus headset to make an immersive world. We may never get to visit the real Seinfeld apartment, but Jerry's Place is a close consolation
Trend Themes
1. Virtual Reality Nostalgia - Virtual reality simulations of iconic television sets and locations will become popular with consumers who want to relive their favorite shows and movies.
2. Oculus Rift Entertainment - As the Oculus Rift gains more traction, new and innovative forms of entertainment will become available to users.
3. User-generated VR Content - Consumers will begin to use tools like Blender to create their own virtual reality experiences based on their favorite media.
Industry Implications
1. Entertainment - The entertainment industry has the opportunity to use virtual reality technologies to create new experiences for consumers.
2. Software and Gaming - Developers of virtual reality software and gaming experiences are poised to grow as the technology becomes more pervasive.
3. Content Creation Tools - Companies that produce 3D modeling and animation software, like Blender, may see increased demand from users who want to create their own virtual reality content.
