Every year I make wildly inaccurate predictions about the future of games, and that time has come again. I go through this exercise not only to suffer great embarrassment, but but also to sharpen my thinking by looking back over the years in an attempt to find the future. I have written more than 13,000...
VR films are getting serious and artistic. That’s what we’ll discover with the launch of Dear Angelica, a new virtual reality film from Oculus Story Studio, the VR film division of Facebook’s Oculus. Dear Angelica premieres today at the Sundance Film Festival, and it will be available for Rift on the Oculus Store later today. Dear...
Tune in at 11:30 a.m. Eastern today to watch Donald Trump become the 45th president of the United States. In fact, the President-Elect’s inauguration events kicked off yesterday and will stretch into the weekend. And there’s no shortage of ways to watch the swearing-in ceremony this morning, but if you’re looking to stream it over the internet...
While YouTube is rapidly growing as a leading source of 360 degree video content, an official YouTube VR app has been notably absent from the high-end tethered headsets, even after its debut on Google’s Daydream VR platform. Now, PlayStation VR is the first to get support for the app, while the Rift and the Vive will likely...
There are a ton of educational Vive apps and Early Access games that released this week, but we also have a couple of bigger releases as well. Creative tools have been some of the shining examples of VR interaction since solidifying its place in early 2016 and now we have a new entry that wants...
In this first part of our tutorial series on making physical objects come to life on HoloLens, we are going to set up Vuforia in Unity.

It seems to me you can’t swing a dead cat near an augmented reality developer without hearing the word Vuforia escape their lips. PTC’s software solution has become the go-to for most developers in the mobile AR space, and since they recently added full support for the HoloLens in Unity, I figured it was about...
Finally we’re getting somewhere! After a slow start to 2017 we now have a week that’s packed with interesting content for both the Oculus Rift and Gear VR. There’s the latest from Oculus Story Studio along with some games that strategy fans will definitely want to check out. If you missed last week, you can...

Preview builds suggested it could be great, but the final product was ultimately a little dated and too much to be desired. The developer itself still holds promise, though, and we’re optimistic about its next game. That...
Deep in the basement of the Sands Expo Hall at CES was an area of emerging technologies called Eureka Park, which had a number of VR start-ups hoping to connect with suppliers, manufacturers, investors, or media in order to launch a product or idea.
