We're in an interesting spot with VR. Everything is still feeling very experimental, and while the technology is still a little too expensive for the masses, it's out there for the public to throw a good chunk of their monthly paycheck at if they wish. And there's one more start-up eager to contribute to it - with some impressive talent behind them.
3rd Eye Studios has been founded under the idea of simply following your dreams. For one, its CTO decided to move him and his wife out of a cosy country home to an apartment in the heart of Helsinki to make his dream a reality. With the others following a similar path.
And while we've been told already that VR development isn't a particularly sturdy financial project, it hasn't stopped the group from forming in the hopes of exploring new land with the rise of VR.

Diving right into the thick of it, they're already working on a little something called 'Downward Spiral' - something they're comfortable enough with already to call it an anthology. Following a similar path to TV shows like Black Mirror, they're hoping to have each episode paint a very different picture - both in terms of its story and the way that it tells it.
It's difficult to get a good idea of what they're working on with so little of us having any worthwhile VR experience. Those of us with the room size and money to accommodate the experience offered by the HTC Vive and Oculus Rift can likely look forward to their efforts, but for the vast majority of us, it'll be a long time before we can get truly excited by the idea of a VR game without seeing it in person.
