Paperboy tribute uses Oculus Rift, Kinect, and a bike
There's your headline.
Is this the future of video games, or the past? One developer has crafted a video game tribute to 1984 arcade classic Paperboy using an Oculus Rift, Kinect and a pedal bike.
PaperDude VR allows you to experience the pixelated world of Paperboy in first-person - and now in 3D - while wearing the Oculus Rift VR headset.
You can throw the game's virtual newspapers yourself - and indeed, create any form of arm movement - thanks to Kinect, which will track the movement of your upper body.
Finally, your speed and cadence on a nearby pedal bike - which you ride the whole time you're playing - is clocked and sent via KickR, a bluetooth-enabled exercise device.
The game itself was built by video game and interactive experience developer Globacore using Unity, with 3D assets created in 3D Studio and textured via Photoshop.
