Get to tour the new Batcave with Google Street View

The new Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice might not be a hit with the critics but if you’re just a fan of Batman and all the cool gear he has, Google’s addition into the promotion bandwagon for the film might excite you. You can take a tour inside Bruce Wayne’s mansion and Batman’s lair through Google Street View. Google Maps even shows the real-world location of the lake house, which is in Orion Charter Township, Michigan. Some of the things you can see as you look around include his super-computer command station, the armored Batsuit, and different weapons as well as the defaced Robin suit on display.

Google lets you put a shortcut on your home screen for weather

Possibly taking the job away from dedicated weather apps, Google's rolled out the ability to place a shortcut to weather information right on your home screen. That shortcut will take you right to the redesigned weather screen within the Google app. It's not showing up yet on all devices but you can find out if you can access it by heading to the Google app and typing it weather. Once your local weather info shows up, there should be an option to "access weather instantly from your home screen" and by clicking Add that should create the shortcut.

Oculus starts shipping Rift VR headsets to customers

It’s finally happening. The headset that’s seen to have kicked off the resurgence of virtual reality is finally going to make it into the hands of the public. Oculus VR Chief Executive Brendan Iribe confirmed on Twitter that their company has started shipping the consumer version of the Rift to those who preordered the headset. It should arrive at customers’s doors by the March 28^th official launch date. It isn’t just a big moment for the company but for the industry as well as they are the first big VR company to release to the public. The HTC Vive is still up for preorder and coming out in May, while the PlayStation VR is coming out at the end of the year. Of course, you can argue for Google Cardboard and the Samsung Gear VR but these still lack the feature set the Rift has.
