I didn't have time to play ping pong with my friends or play eggs, and I rarely played arcade games like I used to. However, in the past few days, the author has played through these games through virtual reality.
In the early purchase of a high-end VR helmet HTC Vive, the author experienced many different types of games, such as music hitting games, as well as games with light swords or laser guns shooting like flying robots. However, the more games you play (most games can be found in the HTC Vive game store), the more you will find that one of these games and apps does a good job: It is highly analog to the real world.
Ping Pong Waves VR
Of the top 50 games that Vive is worth reviewing, three are table tennis themes. One of my favorite is "Ping Pong Waves VR." In the game, the player can use a remote controller to pick up the ball, and the other remote controller hits the racket. Currently, players can only play against computers, but developers are currently developing an online multiplayer mechanism that allows two Vive users to play against each other.

Since these are all VR games, it is difficult to communicate these experiences to players who have not experienced fancy VR games. However, the game optimized the virtual racket and the virtual table tennis. When playing against virtual opponents in the computer, the game system can simulate the physical feedback of the real world. I mean the game is very good. "Followed" the player's brain, so that players feel really playing table tennis.
"Rec Room"
Another high-rated VR game is "Rec Room", a free "virtual reality social club" containing a lot of simple and interesting mini games where you can create an avatar and communicate and play with other players. game. The most popular game in the "Rec Room" is an egg game; in the fast-paced flag-taking game, players can use one or two Vive somatosensory handles to shoot at other players. Although the author performed poorly in the capture of the flag, he was still very happy to play.
Pierhead Arcade
Finally, this "Pierhead Arcade" is the author's new fun, as long as 10 US dollars. The machines in this arcade hall are all special arcades that require action and interaction, such as catching dolls, shooting, and hamsters. The visual ratio of all machines and scenes is 1:1, including the actions of coin counting, hammering, and throwing. Can use HTC Vive motion controller to complete, quite realistic.
Of course, among the catching dolls in Pierhead Arcade, I caught three different teddy bears. Of course, the author didn't tell you how much time it took!
It is worth noting that these experiences are due to the combination of VR helmets and somatosensory handles. However, HTC Vive is facing the challenge of a giant: Facebook's Oculus VR will release its own Oculus Touch this year, Sony will also officially launch PSVR head display in October this year, Google is launching a dedicated daydream platform Matching sensors. I believe that at the end of this year, the global VR field will usher in an explosion of more VR products, which means that the gameplay of VR games will also become more and more abundant. I hope to play more fun VR games later.
