Mixed Reality Video: Snowstorm Playground in DiRT Rally

Matej ·

We can’t really imagine more hazardous driving conditions than those presented in the latest video in Marcel Pfister‘s Mixed Reality series. Night-time combined with a severe snowstorm manages to create a really uncomfortable racing scenario. To experience the danger full-scale, Marcel used an Oculus Rift VR headset in combination with green-screen technology, a well-known recipe we have encountered in all previously-released Mixed Reality videos.

Support for Oculus Rift VR headset has recently become part of DiRT Rally (here) and as you will see from the footage above, it continues to bring a whole new level of immersion to driving games. With PSVR set to bring wide-scale VR availability to consoles this autumn, we’re looking forward to more news relating to what many deem the next big step in the genre.
