What actually makes VR — or XR in general — truly special?

Not just higher resolutions, wider fields of view or new headsets, but those moments when the technology suddenly fades into the background and a virtual experience starts to feel surprisingly real. That is exactly what this category is about.

Here I collect content focused on immersive XR experiences, unusual VR concepts and technologies that try to push presence and physical immersion to another level. This includes traditional VR experiences as well as full-body approaches, motion systems, haptics, location-based installations and experimental concepts somewhere between gaming, simulation and real-world movement.
