Chernobyl VR Coming to HTC Vive, Oculus Rift Virtual Reality

Having just released an early-access Oculus Rift version, The Farm 51 announces that the company will bring its much-anticipated interactive documentary, The Chernobyl VR Project, to HTC Vive in August. 30 years after the greatest human-caused industrial and environmental disaster in history, The Chernobyl VR Project will allow anyone to get first-hand experience of Chernobyl’s Restricted Zone in a unique blend of game and documentary.

“We have just released the Oculus version of Chernobyl VR Project, and we are very happy with the great feedback coming from fans and media,” said Wojciech Pazdur, creative director on the Chernobyl VR Project team. “What we are most excited about, though, is the Vive version, which we plan as the most advanced and extensive version of our application.”

John Breeden II

As a journalist John has covered everything from rural town meetings to the U.S. Congress and even done time as a crime reporter and photographer.|His first venture into writing about the game industry came in the form of a computer column called "On the Chip Side," which grew to have over 1 million circulation and was published in newspapers in several states. From there he did several "ask the computer guy" columns in magazines such as Up Front! in New Mexico and Who Cares? in Washington D.C. When the Internet started to become popular, he began writing guided Web tours for the newly launched Washington Post online section as well as reviews for the weekend section of the paper, something he still does from time to time. His experience in trade publications came as a writer and reviewer for Government Computer News. As the editor of GiN, he demands strict editorial standards from all the writers and reviewers. Breeden feels the industry needs a weekly, reliable trade publication covering the games industry and works tirelessly to accomplish that goal.
