To do this, the brave virtual guinea pig is utilizing a variety of VR headsets to fit his various needs. An Oculus Rift, for example, is used during extended seated sessions, while a HTC Vive Focus and its pass-through AR functionality is used for completing household tasks; such as washing dishes, using the bathroom, preparing meals, etc.
To compliment the theatrical film release of Distorted on June 22nd, Minds Eye Entertainment and SkyVR have partnered to produce Distorted Reality , a scripted, live-action cinematic VR distributed through OneTouchVR on Google Daydream, Oculus Go, Samsung Gear VR, Oculus Rift, and iOS.
After demoing it myself, I also got my seven-year-old niece try it, and even though by now she’s a bit of a VR veteran (using your family members as guinea pigs is standard practice in my household), the experience still had her shouting out in excitement, and – most tellingly – incorporating space exploration themes into her play afterward.

A popular horror title on Gear VR, the latest instalment of the Affected franchise will be coming to Oculus Rift with Touch motion controller support in February, according to developers Fallen Planet. The original title appeared with Oculus Rift DK1 support back in the day, with support for DK2 coming later.

We’d just seen the Oculus Rift and HTC Vive get wide releases, and Gear VR was seeing strong usage thanks in part to Samsung bundling the headset with new phones. Witness Walmart, which bought 17,000 Oculus Gos to train associates using VR. Oculus Quest will have a significant impact in 2019, just like Oculus Go had in 2018.
Make no mistake then, the Neo 3 Link is very much a beta product in search of guinea pigs. For example, the virtual controllers shown in SteamVR have always resembled the Oculus Rift CV1 Touch controllers, and not Pico’s designs.
It was in the context, we were chatting -- watercooler moment -- chatting about how we could make some noise about untethered VR, particularly around the Oculus Quest. We a couple of guinea pigs who put their hand up first, but I did try it in the end. Alan: So were you the first one to try this? Daniel: I wasn't, actually.

When I used to give demos at work using my Oculus Rift, I always started new users with a couple of introductory VR programs, where they did not have to use the hand controllers. A special thank you to John, for being my guinea pig, and the first person to whom I have demoed my new HTC Vive Pro 2 headset at work!
There’s also an Early Access version on the Oculus Store for the Meta Quest 2 ; I checked and it is not available via Steam, which means that I sadly cannot use Replika on my trusty Valve Index headset. (I I intend to use my iPhone or iPad to communicate with Moesha most of the time.).

And now with the advent of Oculus Quest and these really inexpensive headsets, I think it’s just opened up the world to developers, and clinicians, and medical practitioners. Alan: I’m the guinea pig for the office. Alan: [laughs] I happen to have three copies of this magazine. So I get really, really bad motion sickness.
