I recently had the chance to test out Oculus Medium using the Touch controllers at OC2. I nearly missed out on signing up but I got lucky at the last minute, a slot opened up and I got to spend 8 minutes in the virtual reality sculpting app.

Hello world(!) and welcome to the Borrowed Light Studios blog. We are just getting started here and while there isn’t much to check out yet, we hope over the months and years ahead we will have a lot for you to peruse. With our new Gear VR game in active development we plan on providing regular updates on the blog about the progress and challenges we face in bringing the game to life.

Currently, we’re working on wrapping up The Night Cafe: An Immersive Tribute to Vincent van Gogh and bringing that to various platforms (Gear VR and DK2). This is the experience that won the Platinum and Community Choice awards in the Oculus Mobile VR Jam 2015 and we plan on offering it for free to all Gear VR and DK2 owners.

Over the next couple weeks there will be a series of posts going up about the development process of Night Cafe. Check back soon, we’re just getting started!
