Is the future of VR happy social games with no violence?

There’s a wide variety of VR games available from social, adventure to zombie shooters and horror games. Developers are trying to create something new that would be the next hit everyone would buy and try. However, a lot of VR games are based on violence and killings.

This is a vision our today’s guest has.

In this episode, Bob will be talking with Johnny and Barbara from Holodeck VR. They will be talking about the vision of Holodeck VR games, how RF-based Hybrid tracking has the potential to improve the inside out tracking now being hyped on new headsets like Oculus Quest, Vive Focus and Windows MR and more.
