Stellar Cafe is an upcoming VR game that’s all about interacting with AI chatbots in some interesting ways. I went hands-on with the game’s first level to see whether developer AstroBeam could truly hide ‘the bot behind the curtain’, and deliver some fun in the process too.

One day, AI will be able to express itself with all of the same weird, messy behavior that defines a lot of our face-to-face communications today—stuff like hand gestures, body language, different types of slang, code switching, […]

Originally released on PSVR 2 and PC VR earlier this year, Arken Age is headed to Quest 3 and Quest 3S this November. This well-regarded title is one of the most immersive and engaging single-player games we’ve played this year, and the Quest port looks surprisingly good.

Arken Age feels like a game made by developers that have played lots of VR games themselves and have drawn inspiration from some of the best. Out of the gate it’s got vibes of Stormland (2019) and Lone Echo (2017), single-player […]

Google says in a DeepMind update that with a simple text prompt, Genie 3 can create dynamic, navigable scenes that run at 24 frames per second in 720p resolution.

Granted, Genie 3 can be only be used on flatscreen monitors, so there’s no telling when we’ll get something similar for VR headsets. For example, Quest […]
