Cortopia has been playing with magic since 2016. Its virtual reality dueler Wands started out on Samsung Gear VR and Google Daydream, but since then, its wizarding empire has expanded to Oculus Rift, HTC Vive, and, most recently, Oculus Go in May. PlayStation, one of the leading platforms for VR, is missing from that list, and...
HTC has been roundly criticized for the high prices of its PC-tethered Vive virtual reality devices, but the company’s head of VR for China thinks the problem was overhype — an issue he believes will be solved with premium standalone VR headsets. As surfaced by UploadVR, Alvin Wang Graylin’s comments to Mobile World Live suggest t…Read...
Back in May, Upload reported on the launch of the second season of the VR League (VRL), an esports tournament run by Oculus, Intel and ESL that sees players going head-to-head across a range of games for cash prizes. One of the major games to focus in the event was Insomniac Games’ magical multiplayer game,...
PREVIEW: When I first tried The Void’s Star Wars installation at Disney World earlier this year, it totally blew me away. I loved how intricately detailed the in-game environment was and that it was mapped to the real world so I could freely move around and reach out to touch walls, levers, and buttons on panels. It...
Harmonix’s Rock Band VR was a pretty good stab at bringing the rhythm genre into VR, though it was let down by only supporting the series’ guitar peripheral. Riff VR from IMEX Media wants to go one step further. Fresh off of a new update on Steam Early Access, Riff VR lets you strum, drum, and sing...

The studio this week released The Wizards: Trials of Meliora for Oculus Go and Gear VR. It’s essentially a wave shooter that gives you a taste of the full...
Niantic’s augmented reality game Pokémon Go launched in 2016, becoming an instant hit and generating over $1.2 billion in its first year. Two years later, the hype has quieted down, but the popular monster-catching app is still one of the top-earning games. To satisfy its fans, Niantic has rolled out frequent updates, like weather effects, ne…Read...
Typewriters and computers have kept generations of office workers sitting at their desks, but augmented reality glasses could free them — and improve their health in the process. That’s the goal of a new AR productivity solution developed by two interns at Greenhouse Group in the Netherlands. Using the Meta 2 AR headset, Anne Kok...
GUEST: The “VR hype cycle” used to explain the relatively slow rate of adoption for VR refers mostly to the consumer market, and in large part the household-targeted segment, which I believe has suffered the most thanks to the false narratives that I outlined last month. Most of the chips have been bet on high-fidelity...
OPINION: Sorry, everyone. While there’s a story floating around today about a “VR” or “pseudo-VR” headset coming soon for Nintendo’s Switch, it’s not true. Even by the loosest definition of the phrase, virtual reality hardware isn’t coming to the hybrid console any time soon, and this is a good opport…Read More Source: No, Nintendo Switch...
