Weird, harry potter fans that are anti jk rowling, love their virtual reality.

Would've bought a Meta vr headset for a vr HP game.

Meta seems to be completely done with VR gaming.
Time to go loose some billions in AI now!

I got a universal remote harry potter brand wand for Christmas one year. You can wave the wand to change you home theater volume. It lasted all of a week or so before it broke.

The ones they sell at orlando have a IR reflective bead in the tip, so you would need some type of camera to watch the bead (and probably emit some IR light. The larger ones will also vibrate in response to the spells.

But I bet there is a tip the oculus can track.

Anyway, I think the 'problem' with VR games is they get too involved in development. They just need some good gameplay loops and the content can grow over time. In Harry Potter I just wanna have wizard duels, maybe solve some puzzles, probably walk through some environments. Don't need some elaborate story, lots of mechanics, tons of voice acting, etc.

Could have also brought back the vibrating Nimbus 2000s

Fun for everyone but especially girls 12 and up

Whatever they make, it will likely fall short compared to Hogwarts Legacy with motion-controlled wand and voice-activated spells:

No way, just look at this technology:

It's the future of work, school, and entertainment (and maybe even… sexual intimacy??) Just needs a few more years in the oven for the tech to improve a bit, and for people to stop having motion sickness, then it'll really catch on this time for real.

You guys remember when every company wanted a presence in the metaverse when no one even knew wtf the metaverse was?
