Fast-forward to 2017 and modder Zack “Nibre” Fannon has upgraded the game's VR experience to be clearer than ever and compatible with the '[Oculus](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vr-motion-simulator) SDK' and 'Rift' headsets. From this development, it is easier than ever to experience a [high-quality VR horror game](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/total-chaos). Fannon's mode is called 'MotherVR' and is available through his 'GitHub' page. While Fannon currently has allowed the Alien: Isolation VR mode upgrade to be available online for free, he has set up a [PayPal](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/google-play-2) account and is accepting donations should fans truly love what he has done with the game. Moving forward, Fannon is looking to remove forced head movements from the game and awkward body positioning to make the upgrade as realistic as possible. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.2/10 - Popularity: 58% | Activity: 59% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/gadgets) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Enhanced VR Gaming Experience:** Developing precise, realistic and affordable VR gaming applications can become the next disruptive innovation opportunity for gaming industry. - **Open Source VR Technology:** Making VR technology open source can be the disruptive innovation opportunity for technology industry allowing rapid development and democratization of VR technology. - **Crowdfunding VR Gaming Development:** Crowdfunding can be the disruptive innovation opportunity for gaming industry providing the necessary resources for VR gaming development while establishing a loyal customer base. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Gaming Industry:** The gaming industry can tap into the potential of VR technology with innovative applications to provide immersive and interactive gaming experiences. - **Technology Industry:** The technology industry can leverage the open source VR technology to innovate and provide affordable VR solutions to the masses. - **Crowdfunding Industry:** The crowdfunding industry can provide the necessary resources for VR gaming development while establishing a loyal customer base and generating revenue for the backers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [VR Alien Horror Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/predator-hunting-grounds.md) - [Immersive Halloween-Themed VR Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zero-latency-vr.md) - [Sci-Fi TV-Inspired VR Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stranger-things-vr.md) - [Virtual Reality Stealth Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hitman-world-of-assassination.md) - [Ghost-Hunting VR Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ghostbusters-1.md) - [Immersive Horror Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eyes-never-wake.md) - [Free-Roam VR Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/space-marine-ii.md) - [Full-Body-Tracking VR Rigs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/omni-one-core.md) - [Virtual Reality Headset Adapters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/playstation-vr2-adapter.md)
