Hologrid: Monster Battle debuts on Samsung Gear VR

Phil Tippett created the monsters for the memorable Holochess game in the original Star Wars film. And last year, he made the monsters for a new augmented reality mobile game, HoloGrid: Monster Battle. Now the game is heading off into virtual reality on the Samsung Gear VR.

The game was built by Conway, Mass.-based HappyGiant and it features monsters designed by Tippett Studio. Tippett is a two-time Academy Award winner for Star Wars: Return of the Jedi and Jurassic Park.
