Welcome to the new look Road to VR!

So, the more observant among you may have noticed that things look a little different around here lately. Yes, we’ve made a few changes and we’d like to introduce you to them officially.

When Ben and I decided to partner-up to build the next version of RoadtoVR.com, there was one major thing we knew we wanted, besides a spring clean and a lick of digital paint.

We wanted to extend the lively debate already present in the comments sections to a fully-fledged community forum. We liked the idea of people who already came to the site for its leading-edge VR journalism, staying around to meet each other and discuss the content. To that end, let me introduce you to our virtual reality forum.

And, to compliment the new forum, once you’ve taken a few seconds to register with the site you’ll get access to a selection of new social features such as status updates, friend requests and personal messaging — so there now really is no reason not to reach out and touch someone (in the non-restraining order sort of way, naturally).

We also now have our own dedicated server platform which allows us to extend the site, and when we see fit, to grow as our ever-expanding readership does.

So that’s it! We hope you enjoy the new site and we look forward to sharing with you all what promises to be one of the most exciting years since virtual reality’s inception.

Let us know what you think of the new look over on the forum.

Based in the UK, Paul has been immersed in interactive entertainment for the best part of 27 years and has followed advances in gaming with a passionate fervour. His obsession with graphical fidelity over the years has had him branded a ‘graphics whore’ (which he views as the highest compliment) more than once and he holds a particular candle for the dream of the ultimate immersive gaming experience. Having followed and been disappointed by the original VR explosion of the 90s, he then founded RiftVR.com to follow the new and exciting prospect of the rebirth of VR in products like the Oculus Rift. Paul joined forces with Ben to help build the new Road to VR in preparation for what he sees as VR’s coming of age over the next few years.
