CCP showcases explosive new content for Eve Valkyrie

CCP has officially kicked off its annual Fanfest celebration with a keynote address that focused on the company's efforts exploring virtual reality technology.
Two small teams - one in Atlanta, the other in Shanghai - have been experimenting with a number of projects over the last year. The former have focused on the Oculus Rift hardware, used in conjunction with the Xbox's Kinect sensor to create a disc-throwing game that draws immediate comparison with Tron.
