PlayStation VR: How developers made the games Sony hopes will win people around to virtual reality

For years, virtual reality has been the future. This week, it might have just emerged into the present. PlayStation VR went on sale this week, hoping that it can bring virtual reality into the mainstream.

Brynley Gibson has been at the centre of that work, producing VR Worlds. That game really serves as a demo of VR, just as the PS VR system does; showing off what it can be and how it might work.
