This Christmas season is the first year that I have friends asking me which VR headset to buy either for their family (The answer is either a Quest 3, or 3s). I have used a lot of VR products, and I am in a very fun position to recommend a few apps as well! So I figured Iβm going to make a starter pack for newbies.
So when you buy your VR headset you should check out these, and some of them we are investors in, and some of them we are not. I think the most interesting thing about VR is that it now has two very clear demographics, the 10-20 year old, and then the 20+ year old. So Iβll recommend somethings to both groups.
10-20 years old:
GorillaTag: This is the generational social company in VR. You run around and play tag with friends⦠like a gorilla!
Derby: Hang out with friends and hit homeruns for fun in VR. Itβs an amazing community to chat and hang out in.
Big Ballers: Fun and competitive sports in Virtual Reality with friends⦠and enemies.
Yeeps: Hide and Seek in VR.
I am Cat: You get to be a cat. Cat things always do well on new technologies.
20+ year olds
FitXR : Best 10-20 minute workout you can get. Fitness is one of the absolute killer apps of Virtual Reality.
PokerVR: Itβs pokerβ¦ with anyone. Online poker is so dull when you canβt trash talk others around a table.
Golf+: Play some of your favorite courses, with your friends! You can do 18 holes in 45 minutes.
TribeVR: Learn to Bass swap and become a DJ. Itβs the best example of learning something in VR.
Space Pirate Trainer: This is my favorite experience, but its more of a cult classic now in the industry.
