Cheers Guys,

Todays Virtual Reality News starts off with a preamble game segment. I answer some viewer questions on the games I have discussed/played recently and provide some game updates

I then mention the Google statistics showing searching for the term VR is up from last year but how much?

Next I discuss a Bulgarian company called Quark VR who are developing among other things positional tracking for HMDs like the Gear VR that don't natively support it.

I then talk about a recent HTC aquisition of another VR firm. This time the aquired company was a VR game developer.

I then mention the sometimes uncomfortable topic of death and how one VR filmmaker is hoping to use VR to assist in dealing with that topic.

Lastly, I talk about one of Apple's latest VR patents and a competitor to the Omni Virtuix VR treadmill called Rovr.
