Display specialists Kopin have unveiled a tiny, high resolution OLED ‘microdisplay’ designed specifically for the use inside immersive headsets. It’s dubbed ‘Lightning’ and it could open the door to a thinner and lighter form of VR headset. Myriad VR hardware continues to be announced at CES 2017 as the space still remains one of the...
It’s not the biggest week for either Rift or Gear this week, but there are a handful of worthwhile apps, including a return from our friends at WEVR and Felix and Paul Studios. If you’re looking for great games then you’re out of luck, though. If you missed last week, you can see those new...
Happy New Year! The very first list of releases for the year doesn’t have a heavy roster, adding a handful of casual experiences and escape the room content.

You may have noticed if you’re a frequent visitor to the site that we didn’t publish any new PS VR releases for the week of 12/25/16. That’s because there actually just weren’t any. This week, there is technically new stuff — and an app we missed two weeks ago — but overall it’s slim pickings...
Sony’s PlayStation 4 continues to widen the gap between it and the Xbox One with a strong 2016.

Dr. Mehmet Cengiz Öz, better known by the simplified monicker, “Dr. Oz,” has quite the extensive resume. He is a cardiothoracic surgeon and professor at Columbia University as well as an author, speaker and television promoter. Now, you can add “virtual reality evangelist” to that list as well. Öz recently co-founded a company called ShareCare — a web platform...

Starting in Spring 2017, you’ll be able to pay a flat monthly fee for VR games using the Viveport digital distribution platform. HTC calls itself the first ever global app store to announce a subscription service for VR content. Announced at VRLA last summer, Viveport is somewhat of a parallel marketplace to Steam, featuring all-VR content across...
KwikVR, a wireless add-on kit for the Oculus Rift and HTC Vive, is going to beat TPCAST’s solution to market, but, if you’re desperate for untethered VR, you might want to hold on for the latter’s launch instead of jumping the gun early.
