The world of virtual reality is knocking at the door.
Some would tell you were already there – I’m not so sure – but it’s not because the technology isn’t ready. I tried out the HTC Vive once, and holy crap was it the most amazing thing I’ve ever done. Unlike the promising future technologies of the past, VR isn’t a let down by ANY MEANS.

We’re not quite there yet, but boy do I love the direction we’re heading.
