RoVR is a super cute Doggo simulator that is part of an MIT accelerator program for playful stuff.

RoVR is a realistic VR doggo simulator from Ridgeline Labs. As part of a the first class of MIT's Play Labs summer accelerator focused on playful tech, Ridgeline Labs looks to bring tummy rubs and woofs to the VR ecosystem.  The name RoVR is also one of the best uses of using VR in a title. RoVR is Ridgeline Labs' first title, as a VR dog simulator players can raise, pet, customize, and do so much more with their new virtual best friend.

As you may know CatsAndVR loves Caits but we have a special place for Doggos. Being in the SF Bay area it is a little hard to have a dog due to lack of space and pet rent so perhaps this can fill the void a bit...just don't tell the cats. 

The game looks to be pretty robust with fetch and dress up elements to be included in the game with numerous costumes. We should probably get more information later in the summer after the MIT accelerator concludes. 

Apparently dinosaurs like to play fetch too! #madeWithUnity #VR #gamedev #indiedev pic.twitter.com/mdGbMrz6b4

Today as we battle for the future of all of the Cait And Doggo memes, check out Cyber Animal, a game about feeding Cyber Animals to save the internet.

Today as we battle for the future of all of the Cat And Dog memes, check out Cyber Animal, a game about feeding Cyber Animals to save the internet. The game came from developer Moodie Younis's obsession with GIPHY. Younis describes GIPHY as a sort of vast catalog of mostly useless and terrible one hit wonder records. He used that inspiration to create a shooter where you are rocketed into cyberspace, and tasked with feeding the ravenous Cyber Animals of Cyberspace with little nuggets of love and whip cream.

Moodie's game encapsulates several elements of why our Internet freedom is important. Not only are Memes an integral part of the game but Moodie used several online Unity tutorials to become a first time VR game developer. He then decided to share his experience and new found knowledge base with the world using Medium.

Comcast, Verizon and AT&T want to end net neutrality so they can charge extra fees to control what we see & do online. On July 12, we take the first step to stop them. This is a battle for the Internet's future. A fight not only for the freedom of Cait and Doogo Memes but also a future of knowledge building and sharing.
