Virtual reality is going to be the next big thing.
2016-02-18Big-name headsets like Oculus Rift and Playstation VR hit the market later this year, and plenty more people are sure to jump into the virtual world.
And when they do, they'll be playing lots of immersive games, though VR is more than that.
Developers have put together mind-blowing musical performances and trips to outer space, among other experiences.
Last week's inaugural Vision Summit showcased some of the best in VR — we picked out 7 of our favorites.
"I Expect You To Die" for the Oculus Rift puts you in the shoes of a secret agent, trying to survive a series of deadly situations.
It's a first-person puzzle game that has received numerous awards. It just won the "Inspire Award" at the 2016 Vision Summit, which means it was the conference's best overall submission.
Another puzzle game that's getting a lot of love in the VR community is "Thunderbird," made for the HTC Vive and Playstation VR headsets.
The game is an episodic fantasy adventure, similar to a hit 1993 game called Myst. "The 20 minutes or so I spent in Thunderbird were among the best I have spent in VR," wrote UploadVR's Will Mason.
