Hauntify on Quest 3 & 3S will use Lasertag's continuous scene meshing system in an update set to arrive this summer. Last week, we highlighted how Lasertag's developer Julian Triveri implemented continuous scene meshing on Quest 3 & 3S using the Depth API. This removes the need for the official mixed reality room setup process, and handles furniture and other objects being added, removed, or moving - even during gameplay.

With over 317 million people in the US and over 6.7 billion potential customers in the world, personalizing training seems logical.

It's not that there aren't VR games that let you put your dukes up for a scrap, but boxing and fitness games usually model themselves on simulations. Final Fury takes a different approach by having flatscreen 2D fighting games like Street Fighter and Fatal Fury as its foundation. While Capcom has technically brought its own series into VR, albeit only in Japanese arcades, it was mostly repurposing Street Fighter V assets into a more gimmicky VR experience.

With its gripping dark fantasy world and beautiful claymation visuals, The Midnight Walk is a memorable journey in VR. Read on for our full review. Lost in Random was one of my favorite flatscreen games in 2021, and I never expected its two directors to end up working in VR.
