Today, in the year 2158, we have enjoyed fully immersive, sensory holographic technology for many decades.

But did you know that there was once a time that people strapped headsets to their faces in order to try and enjoy virtual realities? Naturally, it was not without its difficulties...

In this interactive documentary we will look a typical challenge faced by an early VR adopter in 2016.

Can you help Steven to complete his VR game without his wife divorcing him?

Love this. As a full time VR user and developer, I can say this is an accurate simulation of our trying times

Love the idea. Took a while to get used to the camera and controls. Might be a bit too impossible to win though.

Just as in real-life, I have successfully both won at a game I enjoyed while draining my wife of most of her patience and goodwill.
