At my house, every Friday is Family Movie Night. Three kids, aged 9, 8 and 3, take turns choosing the film they want to watch. Or rewatch. Or fight over watching for the fourth time. Their negotiations often start days before and become more heated as the fateful night approaches. On hearing that the youngest wants to watch Cars again, …

Nintendo’s late entry to the world of VR is finally here. Yes, it’s made of cardboard. Yes, it’s weird. But the ideas inside are probably unlike anything else you’ve tried before. It’s impossible not to think of Google Cardboard when putting together Nintendo’s Labo VR Kit construction set, which I did over the last week with my 10- and 6-year-old …

Facebook might’ve gone a bit too 1984 this time. The company accidentally printed several weird phrases onto its Touch controllers that’ll come with its Oculus Quest and Oculus Rift S VR headsets.
