Oculus Rift will flourish with Story Studio
In case you are wondering, this poster for "lost" is not related to the ABC show of the same name with its weird ending. As far as I know, it isn't related to The Iron Giant, which featured a giant crawling robotic hand. Lost is a short film from Story Studio, an in-house innovation lab focused on exploring and sharing tools and techniques to craft entertainment experiences … [Read more...] about Oculus Rift will flourish with Story Studio

Just putting this Leap Motion on … [Read more...] about Leap Motion to bring more to the Oculus Rift

I'm sure that you heard about the Oculus Rift, a Virtual reality system that we at The Geek Church have covered many a time.

I'm not certain how familiar you are with the Oculus Rift, but it is essentially a wearable headset that good for all the VR games that we were promised in the nineties.
