<p dir="ltr">Valve&#8217;s virtual reality adventure continues, with the company&#8217;s latest invention, a VR controller called Knuckles EV2, heading to developers this week. To show off the controller, the company has made a tech demo named Moondust, and it&#8217;s set in the <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/portal/">Portal</a> universe.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Moondust is an interactive experience set&#8211;you guessed it&#8211;on the Moon. It sees you crushing rocks with your hands&#8211;designed to showcase the pressure sensitivity of Knuckles&#8211;as well as driving buggies, throwing objects at targets, and assembling space stations.</p>
<p />
<p dir="ltr">It&#8217;s not yet clear if Moondust will see a commercial release; right now, it&#8217;s simply intended to show third-party developers the kinds of things the controller can achieve. For more on the demo, check out the <a href="https://steamcommunity.com/app/633750" rel="nofollow">Steam blog</a> or the short trailer above.</p>
<p>Even though we haven&#8217;t seen a full Portal release since 2011&#8217;s <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/portal-2/">Portal 2</a>, there&#8217;s been a number of tie-ins and bonus content from the series since then. Last year, we got a crossover with the Bridge Constructor series, named <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/bridge-constructor-portal/">Bridge Constructor Portal</a>. Before that, <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/articles/rocket-league-introduces-free-portal-dlc-this-week/1100-6432644/">Rocket League received Portal-themed DLC</a> and <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/articles/portal-jurassic-park-the-simpsons-coming-to-lego-d/1100-6427100/">Valve&#8217;s series also made an appearance in Lego Dimensions</a> (including <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/articles/portal-easter-egg-finally-found-in-lego-dimensions/1100-6445571/">one Easter egg never seen in the main Portal games</a>). A <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/articles/star-wars-directors-half-life-portal-movies-still-/1100-6435599/">Portal movie</a> is also in development from <em>Star Wars: The Force Awakens</em> director JJ Abrams, though there has been no update on that since September 2016, when <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/articles/star-wars-directors-portal-movie-could-be-announce/1100-6444032/">Abrams said he hoped the film would be fully revealed soon</a>.</p>
