VR motion control comes to AirMech: Command, and the game has been released on Steam with support for multiple VR headsets and controllers through OpenVR. The game originally appeared as a launch title for the Oculus Rift in March 2016. Drawing direct inspiration from pioneering real-time strategy title Herzog Zwei, AirMech started life as a...
I sort of see the new Vive Trackers as like the post-it notes of VR, in that I want to stick them to absolutely everything. I often walk down the street looking at things you could virtualize by clamping HTC’s new peripheral to them. In fact I probably scare people when they see me contemplating...

There’s something of a renaissance for sci-fi racers lately thanks at least somewhat to the every-growing popularity of VR. With amazing homages to games past like Redout and Grip cashing in on the greatest racers of the genre from the original PlayStation era, it’s nice to see a game that takes something familiar and goes off...
As the prices on VR cameras slowly tick down, one company has figured out how to speed that process up, by letting you take VR footage using two stacked Android smartphones.
