A monkey learns how to play a game via brain chip
A neurotech company has shared with the public a video of a monkey playing an arcade video game. How do you like that, Elon Musk? In this case, Musk commended the experiment, since it was conducted by his own company, Neuralink. A primate named Pager can play arcade games using the mind power. This has been achieved thanks to a wireless chip embedded in his brain. The process itself can be seen in the official video posted on the Neuralink YouTube channel. The company mentions that the path to mastering the game by a monkey was not that long. The chip was implemented six weeks before the video you just watched was filmed. At first, nine-year-old Pager learned to control his racket with a joystick, receiving a banana smoothie for his small successes. Meanwhile, the implanted chip read and analyzed his brain activity to predict the possible macaque actions in the future. And so it happened! By disabling the joystick, the monkey w...

New Valheim mod adds VR support to the game
Valheim recently entered the market in Early Access mode, but it already has over 5 million players. Survival simulator has gained popularity due to many factors, such as realistic mechanics or procedural map generation. One of the most influential factors is a huge number of unofficial mods for the game. Iron Gate Studio, the developer of Valheim, hasn't announced official support of mods, but that doesn't stop the community from creating extremely ambitious projects. Among the most successful are the “Valheim Legend” RPG mod, which adds 6 playable classes with unique skills, and a first-person view switch mode (the original version of the game uses a third-person view). The latest such creation is VHVR - a mod that implements a VR for the game. At the moment, the modification is still in the early stages of development, but players can already use VR glasses for the game. Unfortunately, motion controllers are yet to be suppo...

Microsoft Flight Simulator gets a VR
On yesterday's Q&A stream, the head of Microsoft Flight Simulator, Jorg Neumann, announced the upcoming beta test of VR technology for this game. Fans have long demanded virtual reality support for Microsoft's latest flight simulator, as the beautiful scenery and flight mechanics will give you an incredibly immersive experience. The company listened to the requests - it turned out that it has been working on introducing VR into the game for a year now. At the moment, preparations are almost complete, Neumann says, and the only matter remaining is a beta-testing from the players. It will open in early November, and a group of fans will soon be able to help the developers. To participate in the test, you must fill out an inquiry on the Microsoft website, as well as have the appropriate equipment, including a Windows Mixed Reality VR headset, with which beta testing will begin. The team also has news for the wider public - in a few months,...

Minecraft gets VR on PlayStation
It was revealed that soon Minecraft players using PS 4 will finally be able to try VR mode. The exact release date is yet to be known, but developers promise that the update will be released no later than next month. According to a post on PlayStation.Blog by Mojang, the new update won’t impact negatively the game’s content - the developers did not cut anything from the original version in favor of implementing VR. Note that MinecraftxPSVR won’t be released as a separate product, but as an in-game patch that will be automatically installed for those who already have the game on the PlayStation 4, completely for free. There will be two possible modes available to use virtual reality - "Living room" and "Immersion". The first is more unusual, where you can play on a large virtual monitor, being in an artificially created room, while the second is a more "traditional" approach to VR, which allows you to completely immerse yourself in the game "head-first" in every sense of the w...
