Why would you name a gaming adjacent system “PortalVR”? I doubt you’ll get in trouble for it but you’re going to confuse so many Portal fans (and there are a lot of them).

Portal is pretty old at this point. And realistically you can only expect to get dibs on a generic word for so long.
If they're truly attached to it they shouldn't change now of course.

I was going to name it Portal, but I named it PortalVR to minimize confusion. It’s called PortalVR because there is no better name to describe what it’s like to play VR this way. It is like playing games by looking through a portal you hold in your hand.

And there's already a VR headset named Portal that's not confusing those fans.
Though uh that one has some potential for confusion.

It's a pretty common word and the last real portal game was 14 years ago. I don't think it's that confusing. And there's already a VR headset named Portal that's not confusing those fans. Though uh that one has some potential for confusion.
Why doesn't the QR code take you to the official app. Or just provide links to them. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=io.portalvr.co...
This would be pretty cool for a Descent clone, since the game is all about 6 degrees of freedom moving your tablet around to fly through a space would feel pretty natural. Where this fails however is that it doesn’t seem to track the user’s face in order to properly render a parallax effect, so it does not really feel like a true portal.

Nope the last was released 9 years ago and it was ironically a VR-only game: https://store.steampowered.com/app/446750/Portal_Stories_VR/
