> [@milanfahrnholz](#): > > Yeah, but playing VR is not really like wearing 3D glasses, itĀ“s very different than that in general. But not from a technical point of view: The 3D data is there, you just have to render two pictures instead of one. Of course the game designer has to deal with a lot of things if he would like to support VR glasses (for example he has to care about motion sickness, the UI, etc.). But if the game is already in 3D itā€™s easy to get at least a 3D view of the scene. (You donā€™t even have to change the game for that.) ---

Yeah I think that is the reason why they could convert existing games like Skyrim instead of redoing them from scratch. However there it became clear that not all objects like certain plants for instance were actually 3d. ---

August: Finished: No ManĀ“s Sky Well in a sense that I reached that part of the main story where it loops and I get that rememberance thing. Everything I do from here on out would be purely casual. ---

Iā€™ve purchased Kelvin and the Infamous Machine. Looks like Day of the Tentacle, but less hilarious. It seems simple, but Iā€™m already stuck in the first ā€œlevelā€ and I donā€™t know why. - I am back to 1800, Vienna, Austria. I have to let Beethoven compose his fifth symphony in time, otherwise it would be a chaosā€¦ ---

I moved forward. The interface is very easy. No verbs, you click on an object and automatically it does only one action. You can combine 2 objects from the inventory. Itā€™s too easy for me, but the story is funny. ---

Itā€™s a funny game, the puzzles are easy but logical. The game lacks in usability (Iā€™m used with the perfect interface and usability of our Ron / David / Gary). Anyway, Iā€™ve passed level 1 (Beethoven), level 2 (Newton) and Iā€™m now at level 3 (Leonardo Da Vinci) ---
