Game Description

Turn your mobile device into a VR machine with VRidgeVRidge is an app that translates the stereoscopic visual image from virtual reality devices such as the Oculus Rift into a display on a mobile device. It also uses the position sensors on the mobile device to mimic the head sensors of VR displays. The result is a way to play a wide variety of VR games on a mobile device at a fraction of the usual cost.Getting into the VR experienceTo use VRidge, youll need a compatible mobile device, a computer with the corresponding app, and a copy of a VR-compatible game. Youll also need a way to keep the mobile device at the right distance for the stereoscopic display to work -- ideally, a headset such as Google Cardboard or Samsung Gear VR. Since youre not going to be tapping the screen to play your game, youll also need a control device of some kind. This makes it easy and inexpensive only by comparison to other, more complex VR systems.An affordable VR experience, but maybe not for beginnersVRidge is an exciting way to expand the limited number of VR games available for smartphones. It requires a small amount of technical know-how, but if youre willing to invest the time in getting it set up, the experience is very rewarding.
