With the reveal of Pimax’s upcoming Dream Air headset, the VR community at large had plenty of questions. We put those questions straight to the company, and also got a glimpse of early prototypes, a full list of specs, and an update on unreleased products. Pimax is, at this point, a seasoned maker of VR
One of the worst things to happen on Christmas morning is downloading updates and charging batteries.

Far from fading away, over its nearly decade of existence VR has continued to evolve in ways both subtle and seismic, redefining what’s possible in gaming, creativity, and connection. 2024 has been a year of milestones, where the long-promised
We didn’t know we were getting a ‘Part One’ when Survios released their long-awaited horror-shooter Alien: Rogue Incursion (2024) last week, but now we know why. No, you’re not getting half of the game when you buy it, but rather a promise that more is yet to come. At launch last week on PC VR and PSVR
