Planet Ludus will serve as a container of different experiences with which to learn and enjoy adventures.
HTC he shared in a talk of the Raindance Immersive Stories Summit event that they are working on a project that will bring together in the same place multiple virtual reality experiences and will have the name Planet Ludus, thus referring to the same planet in the universe created by Ernest Cline for Ready Player One. In its launch (at the end of this month), the application will offer between 5 and 10 hours of content produced mostly by Vive Studios, among which we will find a trip to the marine depths with Operation Apex, a journey through the Amazon River with Amazon Odyssey, a vision of the red planet with Mars Odyssey and even the possibility of creating music with Jam Studio VR.

This is not the first time that HTC explores the universe of Ready Player One, as the company released this year, the entertainment app Ready Player One: OASIS beta, so still looking for developers that create contents, in fact, this new initiative seems to evolution, because it also will include games.
Planet Ludus is coming to Viveport and probably also to Steam, just like it happened with the OASIS beta. At the moment there is no further information about its price or whether it will be available on a temporary basis as part of your subscription program.
