Born out of the founder’s lifetime love affair with sci-fi, surrealism, and a fortuitous road trip across the US, the story of Magic Leap’s founding reads like a beat generation novel about discovering magic in ordinary experiences.

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

Hailstone Games , a Toronto-based VR studio, just launched their new goalie simulator, Goalie VR, a game that lets a single player defend a hockey goal in VR while up to five players using mobile devices try to score. It’s a shame there aren’t more asymmetric VR party games out there, the prime example being Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes (2015).
