What is Desert Bus VR?
You drive a passenger bus from Tucson to Las Vegas in this free driving simulator. You continually correct its pull toward the passenger side; leaving the road triggers a real-time tow back to the start. You can play with or without a VR headset, alone or with up to four friends riding as passengers.
