Valve has returned to the world of Portal for Moondust, a brand new virtual reality demo. Working for Aperture Science's Lunar Resources Initiative, you are sent into spaaaace to construct a modular space station, and then down onto the Moon itself for further testing.
Moondust is a sandbox experience designed to show off the Knuckles EV2, Valve's latest VR controller. Specifically, you'll be manipulating objects using the device's pinch grip technology and ability to finely detect hand poses and movement.
On board with that? Then you'll be crushing moon rocks, driving a moon buggy, building things and lobbing items onto targets in no time.
The usual brand of Portal humour is in evidence, too: "That rock you carelessly tossed was worth more than you are," the player is told at one point.

BSRsays...Not sure why you can hear the rocket engine in space but, hey.

siftbotsays...Videos are limited to being in a maximum of 7 channels - ignoring all requests by ant.
Ashenkasesays...Along the lines of BSR, don't know why the rocket is accelerating that close to the moon. It's basically going to pancake. More appropriate physics is to point the vehicle in the opposite direction and do an orbital insertion burn. But hey, its a game based on physics, why get the space part right?
siftbotsays...Moving this video to BSR's personal queue. It failed to receive enough votes to get sifted up to the front page within 2 days.
