"In video games, it's completely different. The players are at the center of the action. THEY decide when and where to move, look, and take action. They can spend ten minutes in a hallway. Or ten seconds. The players can open this door, then that door, then go out this window. Or they can just go out another window. Maybe they turn around and go around the building. The pace and direction are entirely up to the players. This non-linear interactive storytelling is one of the many innovations that video games...

Carly Port At a school where Greek life is so dominant, how intriguing would it be to explore deep beneath the surface of what it means to be a sorority sister.

I had the opportunity to try out Google Cardboard, the HTC Vive and Holo Lens, all very different experiences. All my experiences thus far have been with wireless modes of virtual reality. While trying on the Google Cardboard, I did not feel entirely immersed in the virtual reality space. I was utilizing the Discovery VR app for...
