Dolphins, swim with the dolphins. I mean have you ever wondered How is the water where dolphins swim? The thing is we’re running a VR arcade/experience center. People who make great, potentially great, and not-so-great experiences come to us. Some we provide feedback for, and maybe later we bring them to you. Others, fall in…
The Oculus Quest Isn’t Perfect Now we’ve got to the part that we talk about the things I don’t like about the headset. Now the one thing that people have been knocking on this headset is the battery life, as it’s only about two hours. Personally, I think that is totally fine because I don’t…
You may have heard of a little company called Oculus in the last year or two or their new headset called the Oculus Quest. If you’re familiar with VR feel free to skip right to the next paragraph, but for those of you who aren’t, quick backstory. Oculus began as a small studio with the…

This one is dedicated to those of you who are more into marketing, but even if that may not be your cup of tea, it may still expand your view of VR and how it can be used. And of course if fun is what you’re after everything below revolves around fun things that get…
