VR Pilots Control Robot Fighters

⊲ Core Memory ⊳ Cix Liv, a VR entrepreneur, has created a robot fight club in a San Francisco warehouse where humanoid bots battle in cages wearing armour and gloves. Pilots steer them with VR headsets and controllers, supported by AI-trained movements and holographic HUDs. The hardware comes from Chinese OEMs like Booster and Unitree, while REK handles the immersive layer. The result is an experimental, costly, yet striking mix of theatre, sport, and technology. Time to rewatch the Surrogates film?
