My VR Getaway (part 1)


I spent a little time this weekend going places and doing things I probably won't have the chance to do in real life—and that can be a very good thing. I had experiences last weekend that I still remember like I lived them and did them myself. That's the thing about Virtual Reality for me—my mind remembers things as if I'd really been there. There's just something about being able to look around with 360 degree vision and depth perception that tricks your brain into processing the experience as something you actually went through. I decided to take advantage of a sale Sony was having this week and I downloaded one of the PSVR release games, DriveClub, for only $5. I've always liked racing games, ever since Gran Turismo began, and I've learned a lot about cars, how to approach corners at high speed, and have even been able to induce drift to slide around corners. Back when I played Gran Turismo a lot, it actually changed how I drove on the road, though I've never tried drifting in real life. However, playing a car simulator in VR is something else entirely!
