Titanfall has a special place in my heart. I've never felt such a rush in gaming since - leaping into the air with a jump pack, running on walls, summoning a giant mechanized battle suit that falls like a meteor from the sky, then letting one of its giant hands stuff me into the cockpit for a supersized skirmish.

How could that possibly work in virtual reality? It sounds like a formula for pain, nausea, distress. But no: Titanfall 2 VR is one of the top five VR games I've ever played - despite being a free mod, released by a solo developer, who's only spent a single month working on it so far.

Now I'm running on walls, blasting bad guys fr …

Who is Jane Doe? Online vigilantes have tried to expose the Cornell University student who filed a lawsuit accusing seven fraternity members of gang rape, and in so doing have invited a torrent of abuse on several other women. Her lawyers say three women have been falsely identified and harassed - and the real Jane Doe is being inundated with threats, too. "She's not doing well," her attorney Thomas Guiffra told CNN on Sunday. "She's under siege on social media, where people are trying to identify her."

The fact several women are now facing a torrent of online abuse in connection to Jane Doe's lawsuit isn't surprising. Targeted harassment …

OpenAI is bringing new tools to ChatGPT for Teens, a mode for teens introduced in August with safeguards and break reminders, to help users with the college application process.

"College Planner brings together application requirements, deadlines, tasks, and financial-aid steps for schools on a student's list in one plan," OpenAI says. "Students applying to several colleges can return to it to update their progress, use the timeline to plan ahead and see what's left to do.

The new College Planner feature will arrive "soon," according t …

Xreal launched its xbx A01 Plus display glasses over the summer for $299, and they’re a decent value. The design and fit are more or less on-par with the company’s pricier 1S that are $399, though they don’t have my favorite feature: built-in three degrees of freedom to let you lock the virtual screen in place. Despite the omission, they’re a more tempting gadget at their current $254 price at Amazon and via Xreal during October Prime Day.

Xreal xbx A01 Plus

Where to Buy:

• $299.99 $254 at Amazon
• $299.99 at Best Buy
• $299.99 $254 at Xreal

Like other display glasses, they connect via USB-C and can mirror the display from numerous gadgets that support video-out, including laptops and gaming handhelds. I really enjoy using them with my Steam Deck. The A01 Plus have great-looking screens, though as a nearsighted person, I needed prescription lenses to make them appear crisp. HonsVR makes them, and they’re $50.

The A01 Plus are unique compared to other display glasses in that their outer shell can be popped off and replaced with another style. The glasses include the blue-tinted shell, as well as the “Lights Out” shell that does a much better job at blocking outside light from peeking into view.
