If you just got into VR/Quest from flat gaming, here's something you may be interested in. Here's a list of flat games and the closest thing in VR so you can find games you may enjoy. Note that VR is very different. Try every free games + demos, you'll be surprised to see what.

This is massive. Now all we need is a lite video editing software on the headset itself to upload to Instagram, FB, YT and TT. That would be a game changer for VR marketing, allowing a ton of players to become content creators.

Any breakthrough in batteries technology we should keep our eyes on? It seems like smart glasses and standalone VR are both very limited due to batteries. I wouldn't want a phone replacement that lasts me 2hours or to limit my VR experience to 1h15mins and call it consumer ready.

I don't know why, but seeing the Oculus logo always makes me very happy. It seems like Meta pushed an empty article to their blog on August 4th. And the default image is still the Oculus logo ❤️

How is that MR gaming?.I watched the video, and it's a Quest 3/Batman promo. 🤔 AFAIK, it is a VR only game.

That game came out of nowhere and is a gem. From the same studio that brought us the warplanes games, here's a pirate game!.

Still to this day, Carmack is a passionate VR user. I really hope he gets to work on VR again and build the VR ecosystem he dreams of so we can all benefit from it.

I pitched this idea to Meta for @BeatSaber , but there are other games it could also work for. The Global Frequency. The fuzzy abstract vision of the Metaverse, and cinematic visions like Ready Player One, almost always involve crowds of people having a great time. While I

Now imagine when headsets are comfortable, wireless and more available (more options). 🥹. There are multiple ways to appreciate games, but none compare to VR.

#VR people tend to spend more time inside games than the gamers on other platforms. You can find this and other interesting insights in this @slhamlet 's article:. #VirtualReality #business

Would you play 2.5D games in floating windows in VR? Kinda like a portable 3D gaming device.
