You can emulate Nintendo 3DS games on your computer or phone, but it’s usually a second-rate stand-in for the real deal. But now, thanks to the CitraVR beta, you can play your favorite handheld Nintendo games on Quest on a massive screen in full 3D.

CitraVR is a standalone VR port of Citra, the long-standing 3DS emulator for PC. Specifically designed for the Quest 2/3/Pro, CitraVR lets you play your favorite titles on a giant 3D screen in VR, and even positions the touch screen below where it rightfully belongs.

Why are these games in 3D? Well, Nintendo designed 3DS […]

To many, Palworld is the Pokémon game Nintendo should have made but didn’t, as it launches you into an open-world environment where you can battle and hang with some very pocket monster-inspired creatures. Thanks to a free mod though, you can already jump in head-first with your PC VR headset or Quest with Link.

There are a number of concerns when playing Palworld through Praydog’s UEVR mod for PC (link below), which lets you play Unreal Engine 4 or 5 game in VR.

Flatscreen games like Palworld, which notably weren’t made for VR from the ground-up, typically need some level of attention to […]

Disney unveiled an omni-directional treadmill project it hopes to eventually scale up for users both in and outside of virtual reality.

Called HoloTile, the unique device is composed of individual ’tiles’ that rotate and change pitch to accommodate to a user’s stride in order to simulate walking in any given direction.

Disney is billing it as “the world’s first multi-person, omni-directional, modular, expandable, treadmill floor,” saying in a recent blog post that HoloTile is capable of letting any number of people have a shared VR experience, walk an unlimited distance in any direction, and never collide or walk […]

There have been plenty of hands-on impressions and various glimpses of what using Vision Pro is like, but a new video from Apple offers the clearest look yet at the experience.

Today Apple published a “guided tour of Vision Pro,” which might be painfully scripted, but actually does a great job of showing what it’s like to use the headset (and this is coming from someone who has used the headset on multiple occasions).

Although the demonstration uses compositing to put the imagery from inside the headset into the shot with the user, pretty much everything you see […]

Apple Vision Pro is set to have a casting feature, which will let spectators keep an eye on the immersive action as it happens.

Apple today launched pre-orders for Vision Pro, the $3,500 mixed reality headset. In addition to being a general computing device, replete with casual content like streaming TV and movies, Vision Pro is of course capable of fully immersive VR stuff too.

One of the big sticking points with VR headsets is isolation from other people in the room, and while the company has made a point of making Vision Pro less alienating

Pre-orders for Vision Pro launched today, giving us the first opportunity to browse the $3,500 spatial computer’s (aka XR headset’s) barrage of expensive official accessories and replacement parts.

Apple is hoping you tack on a few goodies to make your Vision Pro experience even better starting today, which we now learned includes your standard array of pricey Apple accessories, but also replacement bits in case you lose, damage, or just want a spare for whatever reason.

Firstly, the headset already comes with all of the stuff you’ll need from the get-go, including:

Apple Vision Pro pre-orders start today and with them come additional details like the range of storage options and prices.

When I was sitting in the crowd during the announcement of Vision Pro at WWDC last year, I recall hearing an audible reaction from the crowd when the company mentioned the $3,500 price point at the very end of the headset’s pitch. Although various high-end enterprise XR headsets have been sold for as much or more, Vision Pro is the most expensive headset we’ve seen to date that’s primarily aimed at consumers.

With Vision Pro pre-orders open as of […]

VR is finding uses in everything from art and design to training, research, and entertainment. An unexpected byproduct of VR’s immersion is its ability to flip the notion of in-home entertainment being necessarily sedentary. With the right games and techniques, VR can be in fact be an excellent workout. Here we’re sharing a Quest fitness routine that’s designed to be as fun as it is physical—you can also play all of these on PC VR and PSVR!

Yes, there are dedicated VR fitness apps specifically designed for working out. But if you’re anything like me, […]

Bulletstorm (2011) is the sort of epic single-player shooter that’s all about running and gunning through an explosive linear campaign while chewing the fat with some wise-cracking sidekicks. It’s an interesting choice as a VR port; it has the promise of big set pieces and production value that should hold up well even 13 years later, but a lot of the moving parts just don’t fit together well in VR, which is a shame for such a frenetic, action-packed adventure.

Bulletstorm VR Details:

Available On: Quest 2/3/Pro, PSVR 2, PC VR

Netflix isn’t planning to launch a dedicated app for Apple Vision Pro, which is an odd move coming from the streaming video giant.

According to a Bloomberg report, Netflix isn’t launching an app on Vision Pro, instead offering its streaming service through the web. This marks a reversal of its initial intention to allow the iPad version to run on Vision Pro.

Here’s the statement Netflix left with Bloomberg:

Our members will be able to enjoy Netflix on the web browser on the Vision Pro, similar to how our members can enjoy Netflix on Macs.

While Apple hasn’t commented […]

Saudi Arabia has recently injected more than half a billion dollars into augmented reality company Magic Leap, which it hopes will rival Apple’s Vision Pro mixed reality headset.

Saudi Arabia’s sovereign wealth fund gained majority share of the US-based Magic Leap in January 2023, widening its stake in the AR hardware creator with a deal tallying $450 million.

The wealth fund, which is controlled by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, invests in projects considered to be strategically significant to diversifying its national economy.

Skydance Interactive, the developers behind the wildly successful VR game The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners (2020), announced its VR survival horror franchise has just about topped $100 million in revenue since its debut in January 2020.

Developed by Skydance and Skybound Entertainment, the original Saints & Sinners immediately garnered critical acclaim for its gritty physics-based combat and immersive zombie-killing action. Having launched first on PC VR, and later coming to Quest and PSVR, the game managed to generate over $29 million in revenue in its first year.

Now, four years and a Chapter 2: Retribution (2022) sequel later, […]
