SSVAR blog talking about virtual reality,augmented reality and mixed reality.
For the past few months I’ve been thinking that the Gear VR’s goose is well and truly cooked. Not because of exploding Note 7’s (though that is a more literal reason), but because of Daydream. The prospect Google’s mobile VR ecosystem, combining several phones and headsets for a more accessible high-end VR experience, cast a...
IMAX has announced it’s raised $50m in order to create new “premium” experiences for use at its VR centres which the company have begun rolling out around the world. By the end of 2016, IMAX VR centres should be up and running in six locations around the world, with the first two nearing completion in Los...
Announced at Oculus Connect 3 and launching alongside Touch, the Oculus Earphones were touted as a noise-isolating, more immersive alternative to the standard headphones. After days of using and testing the Earphones, I’ve been able to judge how good they really are (spoiler: very). Oculus announced the Earphones last month as a replacement for the...
There are few songs in the history of the human race that can elicit a universal response. When people hear the piano at the beginning of Journey’s “Don’t Stop Believing” for example, it’s impossible to not excitedly belt out, “Just a small town girl!” once Steve Perry’s angelic voice flutters into the speakers. I’ve never...
This week, the age-old Cowboys and Indians trope gets a new coat of paint. Cowbots and Aliens is one of the top picks from this group, looking like a formidable and exciting multiplayer PVP shooter. The other HTC Vive releases are highlighted by samurais, a gun sim, and a touching short film. Death Dojo puts...
While there aren’t necessarily any headlining releases for either the Oculus Rift or Gear VR this week, there are definitely a handful of games and apps we recommend you check out, including a VR adaptation of a scene from one of this year’s most emotional games. If you missed last week, you can see those...
It’s a pretty good week to be a PS VR owner. There are only two completely new releases, but they’re big ones for Sony’s headset, and European fans will finally be getting access to one of the platform’s best launch games too. If you missed last week, you can see those new releases here. Also, UploadVR recently...
“We are not trying to recreate the real experience,” VRTIFY chief executive Facundo Diaz said. “We are trying to create a new experience. We can create many new things that experience or interact with the musician using VR that are very different from the traditional way to enjoy a concert.” VRTIFY offers concerts, clips and...
Sports broadcasting has a consistent following that has turned the analysts into celebrities nearly on par with the athletes they cover and the different networks even compete with each other to have the absolute best cast of characters on tap for their matchups. Announced via press release, NextVR is about to add a new wrinkle to...
Daydream’s launch yesterday was just the first step in a long journey. The first headset, Daydream View, works with the first Daydream-ready phones, Google’s Pixel and Pixel XL, but other companies will be bringing new devices to the ecosystem over time. It looks like Huawei could be the next to do so. Earlier this month the...
