Buckle up; it’s a big week for Oculus Rift and Touch owners. GDC has been going on for the last five days and Oculus has made some big announcements during the show, including a Rift and Touch price cut and a new Gear VR. It’s also launched some of the biggest and best games and...
Littlstar appears to be the first app for PlayStation 4 to allow access to USB drives with support for a wide range of VR videos including 3D and 180-degree content.

Whew, what a week. Can we sleep now? With each passing year the Game Developers Conference (GDC) becomes more and more important to the VR industry, and 2017’s iteration was no different. There have been a frankly ridiculous amount of announcements over the past six days and we wouldn’t blame you if you’d missed a...
If you’re part of the Windows 10 Insider Program, build 15048 launched this morning, and included a nice big unannounced surprise. You can now launch the Mixed Reality Portal and enable the simulation to try out mixed reality right from your PC, even if you don’t have one of the new Acer dev kits. If...
Jump scares are universally hated by horror film and game enthusiasts alike for being ‘cheap thrills’, and are oft considered the low-hanging fruit of the genre. Suspense and existential dread however are much harder to manufacture in a horror game, and from what I’ve seen at this year’s GDC, Paranormal Activity: The Lost Soul has it in...
It’s GDC week and it looks like most all of the developers are there rather than actually, y’know, releasing their games.

There is a new horror experience to check out and one of VR’s most interesting educational experiences so far, so...
The game formerly known as Project Arena is now known as Sparc. We had a chance to play the futuristic sports experience at this year’s GDC, and boy are our arms tired! Wait, is that how that old joke goes? Having released EVE: Valkyrie and Gunjack last year, CCP is no stranger to VR, but...
During a panel at the 2017 Game Developers Conference, Jinjing Sha, VP of Operations for Chinese virtual reality company Hypereal, discussed the many ways his organization is working to attract more users to VR. One of the most important adoption-spurring initiatives, according to Sha, is Hypereal’s efforts to reduce the minimum PC specifications required to reliably...
Last year at GDC, I saw someone rip off their Vive headset and throw it across an entire demo booth. She was cowering in fear, on the verge of tears, ready to run out of the Moscone Convention Center. This year at GDC the responses weren’t as extreme because the demo was far more reserved,...
Like many people, I’m not great with needles. Just looking at them sends a shiver coursing through my body, and I find myself instinctively backing away.
