Playing sports in VR can be a lot of fun, but no one has yet tried to virtualize one of the planet’s most popular games, soccer. Cherry Pop Games thinks it’s up to the task, though, with Virtual Reality Football Club (VRFC).
There’s one very big hurdle that’s prevented developers from bringing soccer to VR; most systems don’t track your feet. Unless you ask players to invest in Vive Trackers (which would drastically limit the already small audience), there’s not an effective way of keeping track of your two most important tools in any game of soccer. But Cherry Pop, which is known for its work on early social VR title, Sports Bar VR/Pool Nation VR, is tackling that issue head-on with VRFC, a first-person experience quite different to the likes of FIFA.
