Take a VR Tour of Rick Deckard’s Apartment from Blade Runner #cyberpunk
Blade Runner 9732 is a virtual tour of Rick Deckard’s Meso-American chic apartment from Ridley Scott’s 1982 cyberpunk classic, Blade Runner. The tour is a labor of love by developer Quentin Lengele.

Blade Runner 9732 is a hobby job done during free time, nights, weekends, and vacations, with zero budget. The project started in 2014 when I decided to put myself virtually inside of my favorite movie scene — Deckard’s balcony view in Blade Runner.
If you’ve ever wanted to have a drink on the balcony of Deckard’s 97th floor apartment, or start up his Esper machine, or play his piano, or drink his whiskey, here’s your chance.
You need HTC Vive to view it in VR mode or you can watch in in first-person shooter mode. It is currently PC-only.
Here is a video walk-through.

Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
