Google invented the best virtual reality app I've ever tried - you've gotta see it for yourself

Google Tilt Brush is all about creating 3D art — with the HTC Vive headset, you can actually walk around these works to view your art from a new perspective.

No professional experience required! If you're not a painter you can doodle to your heart's content.

My favorite aspect of Google Tilt Brush is how simple it is. Google provides a big blank canvas and plenty of fun toys to play with, but it's also precise enough if you're serious about creating 3D artwork.

I can't wait to see what kinds of crazy creations people make with Google Tilt Brush.

To use Google Tilt Brush, you'll need an HTC Vive virtual reality headset. Once it's all set up and you've downloaded the Steam app, you can just visit this site to launch Tilt Brush. If you own an HTC Vive, this app is a must-own. Happy tilting and/or brushing (ideally both)!
