It Took 75 Days to 3D Print This Incredible VR Cockpit





You can't see the real world while you're in virtual reality, but you can touch it. And what better to be touching than this ludicrously awesome, 3D-printed cockpit of unrelenting righteousness? Nothing, that's what.
The Ocular EVA Pod, as artist and mastermind Micah Ganske calls it, is exactly what it appears to be: An enormous controller for use while in virtual reality.When you slap on your goggles and start going to town on its controls, the specially made VR simulation that goes with the controller shows your VR hands right where they are in real life.

Incredibly, the bulk of the thing is 3D-printed, though obviously it didn't come out all in one piece. As Ganske says on his website about the project, it took 75 days of print time to complete. And now—printed, assembled, and painted white—the device just finished a tour at Art Market San Francisco last week, courtesy of 101/Exhibit, Ganske's own studio. You may have missed your chance to try it out there, but the good news is that Ganske is planning to make his VR demo avaliable on Steam, and is selling his 3D-printed cockpit. For a small fortune no doubt. Worth the money, and the space if you can manage to afford it? Almost definitely not.
