VRFocus: Hamerhead Interactive is currently working on a virtual reality (VR) underwater exploration title named Undercurrent. The videogame is in development for PC and features full support for the Oculus Rift VR headset. Of course, when the project started development the Oculus Rift was essentially the only VR headset that developers could get their hands on. Now new options such as Project Morpheus and GameFace have extended the technology’s reach to PlayStation 4 and mobile platforms respectively. Will Undercurrent find its way to these new platforms?
