Science fiction Neuromancer has inspired a new game, using the iPhone and the Oculus Rift virtual reality headset to offer a unique gaming experience.

The experimental game is called Case and Molly and was created by Greg Borenstein after two of the main characters in the novel. The game mirrors the concepts imagined in the book, and two players can coordinate their movements between virtual reality and a real location.

Borenstein used two iPhones taped together to serve as a kind of 3D camera and streamed that live video into an Oculus Rift headset.

“I think it's so cool that the Oculus Rift could make it possible to see, in real-time, any place in the world in 3D,” says Borenstein. “Unfortunately, there's no stereo camera on the market that is both affordable and capable of simple real time streaming…”

This is surely an example of how a common device like the iPhone can work well with bleeding edge gaming tools like the Oculus Rift.
