500: maintenance mode

Greetings from the Engine Room!

Sorry, but there's really nothing to see here right now. Our server is in maintenance mode – and our little bot is trying to sort the error messages with its last bit of energy.

Whether it was a data leak, a power outage in the cluster, or just a grumpy bit – we don't know yet. But what we do know is:

The data drama escalated into a server meltdown. But don't worry: We're on it.

What now?

Everything is surely running smoothly over at our colleagues from inside digital – why not stop by!
Or you could pass the time by visiting our social media channels – for example Instagram, YouTube or TikTok. At least there are no server problems there – promised.

Thanks for your patience. Our bot is already rebooting at full speed. 🔧

Vader Immortal is a new kind of Star Wars story, but an authentic one

As far as mascots to carry your new platform, you can hardly do better than Darth Vader, the iconic Star Wars villain who manages to be dangerous and sympathetic at once. Vader Immortal, the much-hyped virtual reality interactive story exclusive (at first) to Oculus Quest, is a story about our dark lord, but also about you.

Can the Oculus Quest really be the iPhone of VR?

The newly launched Oculus Quest is a landmark product in the history of virtual reality. For the first time we have a standalone VR kit that can be played out of the box, without the need to connect it to a smartphone or computer. By eliminating almost all the hurdles that made VR so daunting in the past, Oculus Quest is a clear bid for mainstream appeal. But does it have what it takes?
