The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

How it feels

Playing Dream Match Tennis VR feels like stepping onto a real tennis court, where every swing, spin, and bounce of the ball responds with faithful physics and natural motion.

About

The first person viewpoint and simulated physics give the sensation of truly playing tennis. The experience of holding a racket and hitting a ball -- so difficult to capture on a TV screen in the past -- has been fully realized in VR. The movement, rotation, angle, friction, and bounce of the racket and ball are fully simulated, and you can even freely perform things like topspin and slices, which cause the ball to spin.
