Everyday Golf VR From Wisecat Aims For A More Realistic Experience

The developers from Wisecat have created a virtual reality golfing experience that eliminates different drawbacks golfers face. Golf is not only expensive and exclusive, but also very time-consuming. Everyday Golf VR is a product that offers a unique golfing experience that you can enjoy from the comfort of your home.

Everyday Golf VR offers 63 different holes that players can choose to play separately, or in a nine- or 18-hole round. Up to four people can use Competitive Mode to challenge each other to simulate a classic foursome.

To enjoy a quick, realistic round of virtual golf, just put on the VR goggles, grab the controller and set up the gameplay from your living room. One Everyday Golf VR feature that is offered is mid-round swing analysis to improve your mechanics after a poor shot. Players can turn and look backwards to view swing statistics such as launch angle, swing speed, distance, carry, and head position. This allows for mid-round adjustment if players are concerned with adjusting to the virtual reality system. In addition, you can crouch down to read the greens from a different angle, giving Everyday Golf VR an authentic golfing feel. Everyday Golf VR is also featured in Japanese, Chinese, and Korean, as well as English.  

If users are worried about VR related motion sickness, Everyday Golf VR allows them to pause their round at any time, so users do not have to worry about disrupting their progress. According to Wisecat, the developers have “prepared an environment in which you can enjoy your golf with minimal movement and rotation,” allowing for minimal stress on your body, and a more enjoyable virtual reality experience.

Everyday Golf VR is scheduled to be released later this year.
