# It's like a Kodak moment, only from within a VR environment

Okay. Bear with me. Because I’m still trying to wrap my head around this one. Suffice it to say, it’s cool. Whether I understand it or not. So here it goes… Portland’s [dotdotdash](http://dotdotdash.io/ "dotdotdash")—formerly known as Stublisher—has worked with HTC Vive to create a camera that allows you to take photos from **within** a virtual reality experience.

I… hmm… It… um. Crap. Just watch the video.

I mean, this is pretty cool. So why aren’t more people talking about this? Oh. That’s right. It’s really difficult to talk about this. But at least know you’re among us trying to figure out how to explain this to everyone else.

Good luck with that.
