Pro Table Tennis Players Try Virtual Reality | ELEVEN VR
Eleven VR is a simulation game where you can play tennis against real players or AI. The goal is simply to win the game.
It feels like you’re playing a real tennis game in a room with constantly changing motions and sounds at specific distances. The artwork on the tennis ball disappears the farther it gets from you but appears the closer it is. You can see the arena around you.
The only problem that makes it less immersive is you can’t see animated characters as your opponents. All you see is the tennis ball, paddle, and maybe a VR controller. For this reason, i put it at the bottom of the list.
