The Lab (video game)

[2][3] In the hub world, the player can explore the space around them within the confines of their physical floorspace, while roaming further by using controller buttons to teleport to different parts of the area.

[4] The player enters each of the respective minigames by picking up the named snowglobe strewn about the hub room and holding it close to their face.

[6] Compared to the Angry Birds series of games, this minigame uses a calibration machine that shoots Personality Cores at piles of debris and explosives.

[5] Described as a bullet hell type game, Xortex involves picking up a spaceship with the motion controllers and moving it around in the virtual space to avoid an increasingly difficult barrage of projectiles.

Additional environments can be reached either by manipulating the plug on the Postcard notice board in the Lab or by using the drop down menu presented on the mirror screen on the host PC.

[5] A medical-based experience, this minigame largely lacks gameplay of any kind, but instead features the future possibilities and application of VR technology in the medical and scientific fields.

It features a human player inside a testing lab run by GLaDOS where they are tasked with repairing the robot Atlas from Portal 2.

Christopher Chin stated that the concept for the minigames were based around ideas on how to transfer other genres and game types into the VR world in an innovative way.
