Playing games on a modern HMD is still relatively new to society. In 2017, we’ve seen a ton of growth and exposure towards the market but nothing that substantially cemented the space. This is even true with AAA games such as Fallout 4 VR, Skyrim VR, or DOOM VFR. However, the gamers and livestreamers seem to be getting swayed towards a social VR space called VRChat.
VRChat
For those unfamiliar with the app, VRChat is a place where people can create and play in the virtual worlds. Users have the ability to create their own avatars, publish, and explore these fascinating places with strangers and friends alike. These avatars aren’t just some lame pixeled bodies neither.
They are full body avatar builds with lip sync, eye tracking, blinking, and complete range of motion where you’ll be able to express yourself. Just check out how this YouTuber interacts with strangers in this social VR space.

But he isn’t the only popular Twitch streamer using the VR app. Ice Poseidon is another frequent patron of VRchat. He hangs out with random people in VR to do various things like go on virtual dates.
