I’ve sampled some HTC Vive virtual reality games with a final production unit over the past week, and I’ve tried out more titles at preview events. The ones that really grab me are visceral shooting experiences that leave you hot and sweaty.
As we’ve pointed out a lot, we’re just at the beginning of VR. There’s no killer app just yet. But there are a lot of experiences that turn VR into a real social experience as you’ll have a lot of fun playing these games with friends. And that could make a difference as to whether or not VR will become a $30 billion market by 2020, as predicted by Digi-Capital.This whole category was termed “active VR” by James Iliff, the cofounder and chief creative officer at VR game startup Survios. They’re not exercise games per se, but they will make you perform a lot of physical activity. So long, couch potato.
