9/11 Virtual Reality

Virtual Reality

Virtual Reality used to just be something futuristic that we saw in science fiction movies or read about it books, but now more than ever before, virtual reality is a thing of the now. We've seen things early on by way of devices like the Oculus Rift, and now with an ever-growing arsenal of devices like Google Cardboard, Samsung Gear VR, Playstation VR and HTC Vive Pre.

More and more companies are getting in on the VR fun, and we're more than excited to see what they have to offer. Virtual Reality is still very new to many Android users, but from what we've seen already, and what we know is coming, the future of VR is a very bright one that we can't wait to be a part of.
