VR News: Oct 18 - 40 Years of Film VR - Razer Acquires THX & More!!!
44Cheers Guys!
Preamble covers Some upcoming and current VR Game titles.
First news bit talks about TIlt Brush again being used inventively as a storyboarding prototype for a VR game.
I then talk about an UPloadVR article dealing with Michael Abrash's predictions from a couple of years ago, which were bang on and which were not?
I then provide a link for a trailer that shows 40 years of VR in film, covering films like Total REcall, Johnny Mnemonic etc. After this I talk about Razer's acquisition of THX.
Next up is Baobab Studio and the 25 million raised during their Series B Round of Funding.
Lastly, Nvidia article about their upcoming GTX 1050Ti which they feel could serve as an entry level Oculus Rift VR minimum spec card and finally Twitter hires a VR guru.
