Since gaming became a platform to create digital worlds, players and designers have ever fantasized about the ability to inhabit virtual spaces. Now, after a rather headache-inducing test run in the 1990s, it looks like the gaming world is on the precipice of viable virtual reality. VR is becoming one of the most oft spoken terms when considering what’s next for the world of gaming and gamers should begin to see a serious presence this year....

Most major companies have a horse in this race. Oculus, the creator of the Rift headset, is owned by Facebook and has a deal in place with Microsoft.

The Swiss star returned to action following her early exit at the Miami Open. The world number 20 was ready to make the transition to clay as she faced a younger competitor who was making her debut in the tournament.

Rivas is a shaman, a medicine man who serves the Carlos Castanedas of the ’90s: seekers of ritual hallucinogens, ranging from the peyote cactus to jungle snuffs that supposedly make the dead appear in visions. A growing number of people, some seeking adventure as much as God, are visiting shamans in Latin America and the American Southwest–or even as far away as Southeast Asia. Mind travelers on a tighter budget can meet touring shamans who conduct underground “workshops” in U....

There’s no denying that the Vive is a fantastic piece of hardware and it is, at least, on par with the Oculus Rift. Each device has its own strengths and weaknesses, but the Vive Pro looks poised to take a lead over the Rift in terms of quality by making some very impressive improvements.
