And that's when we played Super Smash Bros.

I ran through the usual motley crew of demos - sitting in a chair as civilization rises and falls around me, sitting in a mouse-sized roller coaster set up around a studio apartment, and "standing" (virtually) while Totoro steals my umbrella and leaves me in the pouring rain in the woods.īut what I really wanted was a game. So late last week, I re-entered the virtual world by way of an off-white desk chair in the middle of Scott's living room. The first time I tried the headset was well over two years ago, and admittedly I haven't used it but once or twice since.


For the last month or so, Scott Kellum - a VR enthusiast and Vox Media's senior front-end designer - has been inviting people over to try out the Oculus Rift.
