  • The developer behind YUR Fit and Liv is launching a new VR sports company called REK.
  • The platform is described as the "sports of the metaverse."
  • Players will be able to participate and watch AR and VR sports in real-time with real people.

Cix Liv, the developer behind YUR Fit and Liv, has announced his third company will be launching under the name REK and will carry the motto of sports of the metaverse.

Cix Liv and his business partner, Bart Trzynadlowski, can be seen throwing virtual fireballs at each other while dodging their opponent's attacks. Both are using the controllers of the Quest 2.

Liv encouraged players to sign up for the program on the REK website and to join the Discord channel. The first REK event will be in California in April. If there is a reason for its unique concept, it could become one of the best Quest 2 games.

REK will be different from other platforms by using real people and real places for the events. REK's sports will not be limited to those where a physical ball is in play. Liv is encouraging players to use their imaginations, going so far as to compare REK's virtual reality metaverse with sports that took place in the Tron series of movies.

In December, Liv posted a picture of him using a hammer and iron to charge up a lightning blast. Liv had previously had his YUR Fit app locked by Facebook and is branching out to a concept that is more complex than previous efforts. REK will feature some interesting, non-traditional sports when it launches next month.
