I was talking to a friend the other night about VR fatigue, and how some of the initial wonder had washed away. The best VR is still incredible, but there are some apps that just don’t pull me in the way they used to. In response, he reminded me that any VR software, no matter...
VR has already been used for a lot of positive and inspiring projects, but getting these off of the ground without the help of a major organization or charity can be tough. For those looking to use the technology in this way, a new platform named VR Together might be able to help. VR Together...
Nikon’s foray into 360° video continued at the ‘Nikon Innovation Forum: The 360° Video Revolution’ event in NYC last week.

Black Friday has passed, but a few holiday VR deals remain. For a limited time, Amazon is offering a $100 gift card with every Rift purchase. It might not be the same straight up $100 discount HTC had offered on the Vive during Black Friday, but if you’re a regular Amazon shopper, it’s nearly as...
