Amara Diallo

7+ years VR and immersive technology coverage, reviewed 200+ VR titles across all major headset platforms

Amara Diallo has been covering virtual reality since the Oculus development kit era, and she has the neck strain to prove it. She reviews VR hardware and software with a pragmatic lens — comfort, motion sickness mitigation, tracking fidelity, and the fundamental question of whether an experience needs to be in VR at all. Amara is sceptical of tech demos disguised as games and deeply enthusiastic about titles that genuinely advance the medium, from physics sandboxes that make you forget you are wearing a headset to narrative experiences that use spatial presence as a storytelling tool. She also tracks the enterprise and training applications of VR, because she believes the technology's long-term viability depends on use cases beyond gaming.
