Re: The current state of Virtual Reality: another period of gimmickry or a true start
Tried a game called Holopoint in my quest for fun workout games. I think I hit the holy grail. Basically it's the Long bow game from the lab, but you shoot cubes that shoot back at you in a dojo, from everywhere around you. So you find yourself in a weird, intense dance of nocking arrows, shooting, dodging projectiles and repeat as fast as you can, while feeling like freaking Legolas. Didn't feel like exercise, until i took out the mask, and realized I was drenched from head to toe in sweat, and after taking a shower, I can now barely move ! May have gone a bit too strong too soon given I didn't set a foot in a gym for over a year, but I found my new routine.
