Epic Games galvanized the VR tech industry scene with their new engine. This bad boy allows anyone with their hands on an Oculus Touch and HTC Vive to create a virtual reality game, while in virtual reality. Kind of a dizzying mindfuck, am I right? Like a dream within a dream, ‘Inception,’ kind of confusion. Well the easily comprehensible purpose of such an engine couldn’t be more cut ‘n dry: by creating a virtual reality game, while you’re in virtual reality, you’ve the chance to optimize all particulars of the game so that it runs as smoothly as possible when the game’s finalized/created. The circles of virtual reality-savvy folk seem to be pretty stoked.
Epic Games will announce more details about their virtual reality tools next month.
