‘The Other Room’ comes to Daydream VR

Escape rooms are a big thing lately. Now, here’s a digital version of that. Called The Other Room, this Daydream VR game requires you solve puzzles in order to escape rooms. Aside from the puzzles, the game mixes in immersive audio and what Android Police calls as bizarre 360-degree video segments. Your goal is to foil your rival’s plans but of course there will be obstacles along the way to throw you off. If you own a Daydream VR and have a Daydream-compatible phone, this game from Minority Media VR Inc. comes with a onetime payment of US$4.99.

Movado unveils first Android Wear 2.0 watch

Luxury mechanical watchmaker Movado’s first Android Wear 2.0 watch has made its debut at Baselworld 2017. And as The Verge points out, it looks pretty much like a typical Movado timepiece. The Movado Connect features the iconic single dot used as a 12 o’clock indicator and a clean, simple-looking case. Its custom watchface looks just like the company’s Museum model.

Movado won’t spill the beans about hardware yet so we can’t compare its specs with its competitors. The smartwatch is set to debut in the fall and it’ll come in five different men’s styles. Pricing will start at US$495. Movado's previous smartwatch effort was in collaboration with HP.
