Review: Taking a look at 8i – Make VR Human years after it was made means time has not been kind to it and it looks a little dated. But I think this is worth seeing to show how far we have come along in VR these days. When this was released it was groundbreaking and might well have been the future of VR and some use of this technology still could. But for now it is part of VR history and for me, it is still worth a look. It’s not a game, it’s little more than a tech demo for 3D scanned people in VR. But, still worth checking out.
