If you've ever fantasized about playing Luke Skywalker and saving the galaxy from the Empire, you're in luck. You can have the next best thing, thanks to virtual reality.
In a demo game for the Oculus Rift virtual reality headset, developer Boone Calhoun has simulated the moments leading up to the destruction of the Death Star in Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope. In the game, which is called Trench Run, players fly through the trenches of the Death Star to find an exhaust port to blow it apart.
