Let‘s Talk Oculus: A VR Podcast Let’s Talk Oculus

This week in VR, Meta fittingly added a new Travel Mode to the Quest 3, just as we recorded this pod! We discuss the best apps to use on an Airplane, which Samson will test for his upcoming trip. Elsewhere, Samson jumps into the innovative Pencil!, Dan gets too scared of Asgard's Wrath and ends up spending $200 on Quest accessories.

We have a tonne to go through, Samson buys a PSVR 2 and has sunken 25hrs into GT7, Dan jumps into Astra, a very unique Mixed Reality game. Soul Covenant is mentioned... Walkabout Venice is great. Oh, and Meta basically announced a high-powered gaming headset from Asus?! And an XBOX Limited edition BLACK QUEST 3... we've been out of the news for too long!
