UO360 - VR for Android

So yes I definitely agree with the waste of expensive product, but if I’m reviewing the app with the cardboard UO product itself, it’s SUPER cool I can’t lie. I’ve never really gotten to see VR and when I took my phone case off and clasped it into the cardboard VR and put some of my music on it was sick. One thing is it did take me awhile to figure out assembling it together so I had to look it up..

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!! -a possible class of 2026 student

super fun and immersive experience of the Oregon campus

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…

This app is well executed and perfect for our current times. It was easy to follow the directions and all 4 of us needed no instructions to use once we started using this. An excellent demonstration on how to do a virtual campus tour.
