Become Jerry Seinfeld in this amazing Oculus Rift project

"Jerry's Place" allows you to walk through the iconic apartment.

Ever wonder what it would be like to walk around Jerry Seinfeld's iconic apartment? One longtime Seinfeld fan is allowing you to do just that, albeit virtually, in his new Oculus Rift project called "Jerry's Place."

Created over the course of one month, Jerry's Place is a true-to-life virtual depiction of the environment featured in the popular '90s TV show. In all, you'll find around 11 references to various episodes hidden throughout the apartment, creator Greg Miller said.

"I tried to be faithful to the show's original props and its era, but some things were near impossible to Google," Miller said. "I did a lot of research and tried to find images of the original products used in the show, and modeled around those dimensions, rather than relying solely on blurry screenshots."

You can download "Jerry's Place" from Miller's website to try it out, but of course, you'll need an Oculus Rift development kit to do that. There's still no word on when the final, consumer version of Oculus Rift will be available or what it will cost, though creator Palmer Luckey said recently that he wants the virtual reality headset to be "affordable."

Make the player able to reenact an entire episode of the show and interact with the real characters and I'll be impressed.

How funny would it be to have someone walking around his apartment looking at stuff when Kramer explodes through the door giving the person a freaking heart attack.

That is the market today. Amazing tech with virtually no purpose. Shallow games and apps with no soul and microtransactions just around the corner. Will the DLC be visiting Newman at the post office?

@Xx_DemonSoul_xX Market? This was a fan doing something he thought would be cool. That's sort of what fans do... So, maybe you'd be better off applying that cynicism somewhere that it makes sense?

It would be cool if they do something like this with the Fresh Prince.

I'd say it's close, not exact but close. Still better then anything I could do but it still needs a little work. The angles on some of those surfaces don't quite look right.

<< LINK REMOVED >> And they apparently didn't correct architectural "mods" that they did to the set.


They made some walls bend at an angle so they could be seen on set without having issues with camera placement, etc. The wall that the door is on and the refrigerator should be a single wall with no bend between; if you look at any exterior of the door, it's a straight hallway.


Not sure if that's what you mean, but it's why some walls look wrong most of the time.

Would've preferred Jennifer Aniston's bedroom from Friends if they were going 90s.

<< LINK REMOVED >><< LINK REMOVED >> This is the attitude that more developers need to have. Would result in less CoD clones and more ... well a wide variety of stuff. We'd end up with a Goat simulator... but some other stuff too.
