AR/VR Weekly: These are the voyages of the Starship Virtual Reality

“The undiscovered country … the future.” Virtual reality may be the present, but its future depends on interactive experiences that capture people’s attention — and this is where Star Trek comes in.

Next month, Ubisoft will release Star Trek: Bridge Crew, a VR experience from its Red Storm studio. It puts you and three others in command of a starship’s bridge, manning stations as you take on several situations. You may be rescuing stranded spacefarers. You may be blasting Klingons. You must work together with others, all in VR.
