Attack the Death Star in virtual reality with this Oculus Rift demo

We’ve reached the pinnacle of civilization. Someone has made a virtual-reality version of Luke Skywalker’s trench-run attack on the Death Star from Star Wars: Episode IV — A New Hope, and that’s where I want to live out the rest of my days.

The Trench Run demo for the Oculus Rift VR headset puts players in the cockpit of an X-wing fighter from the Star Wars universe (via Rock Paper Shotgun). Using an Xbox 360 controller, players can fly down the trenches of the Empire’s superweapon in an effort to destroy it.
