Angels and Demigods

Everyone loves to curl up with a good book, but who would have thought it could be possible to enjoy a book using virtual reality?

Well, creative minds from Key 7 Studios are developing the first virtual reality book Angels and Demigods. The basic concept is it will allow users to have a 360-degree view of the environment and will allow them to interact with characters. What is known about the plot is that it takes place on Ecceladus, the sixth largest moon of Saturn.

Star Trek Resumes

After the events in the film Star Trek Beyond (no spoilers), the crew from the Enterprise could be on the market for new jobs.

With the help of the recruitment site Adecco, Star Trek fan Bryn Roberts created resumes for characters Jim Kirk, Spock, and Scotty. A fourth character named “Fred Shirt” was also added (can you guess what his special skill is?). Each character has a resume full of meta references that are sure to make fans laugh.

Find out if Kirk and the other Enterprise crew have what employers are looking for.
