As most of you should be in some sort of isolation, minimising the need to step outside unless absolutely necessary you’ll all want something to do. You can only paint the walls or vacuum so many times, so why not treat yourself to some new virtual reality (VR) content. As VRFocus does every Friday, here’s a list of five titles arriving next week you might be interested in.
SoundSelf: A Technodelic – Andromeda Entertainment
It’s a stressful time at the moment so anything that can chill you out must be worth a pop. SoundSelf: A Technodelic is just that, a psychedelic and relaxing VR experience guided by your own voice. “Delve into a hypnotic world of light and sound which helps players descend into a deep, trance-like state,” notes the description.
