Ryan Scoble had a girlfriend he met in VR. They played in Rec Room, the “virtual social club,” every afternoon. It had bowling, paintball, and a ton of custom games. He had never met her and didn’t know where she really lived. He didn’t know her real name (her screen name was LOLBIT) but they played together as if she were a 10-year-old living next door.
He isn’t alone in this.
VR has brought its magic to gaming and even if you aren’t a gamer, it’s useful to try a variety of games in VR because of what they can teach you about where the user experience is going. These games are increasingly social and collaborative because VR lets you feel the presence of another person, the same way you would if that person was in front of you in real life.
