Gaming enthusiasts may sympathise: when it comes to kicking back, I generally prefer virtual spaces to the real world. Trouble is, on PS4, it’s rare to find o🍸ne where I can properly relax. But PS VR’s not just another console. It’s also capable of improving the everyday via its ace-in-the-hole functionality – non-gaming applications.

Stifle your yawns and hear me out. After a long day, I love holing up in one of my fave fictional forts.

Enter 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Anywhere VR, Sony’s virtual ch🉐ill-out room. Offering a suite of, er, suites, it’ll let you sit in a field of flowers, under a waterfall, or by a roaring fire in a lavish mansion – all while you use your smartphone in-app. It’s Sony’s take on Hogwarts’ Room Of Requirement.

Having spent hours simply chinwagging with my best mate in Destiny’s Tower, sharing the same actual space is the new future of our long-distance friendship.

Rest assured, the minute someone recreates Norman Jayden’s ARI from interactive narrative thriller Heavy Rain, I’m there. A virtual workspace that’ll let me send emails and Google cat GIFs from the bottom of the ocean? Sold.
