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

I have been playing seated VR lately. With a cable. I have been negative about both in the past. I think I was wrong about seated being bad. We need more actually. It needs to be pushed that VR is accessible to lazy people. Because I'm sure 90% of humans are nowadays.

Meta Quest UI is painful. VR games menus are painful.
I think it should be more like an ipad (one of the best UI I've tried) offering both pointer and touch inputs.
Not ideal but would make the transition from phones to VR easier.
What is your take on that?

What I dislike about

is the hate from the VR community. Same week "PCVR is dead" claims come, pcvr fans goes "mobile VR have bad graphics and break immersion". Stop being on defensive and destroy your own platform. It doesn't benefit anyone.

Wow... I love it. Passthrough VR have a ton of potential. Next gen of VR will be huge!
Digging up the ground Minecraft's style and falling into the hole using the passthrough feature of the Oculus/Meta Quest 2 v34.
Can't wait for a full color high resolution passthrough camera! 😉

Meta wants to buy Supernatural. A small indie studio doing a niche VR game.
People go crazy about it...
Adobe keeps buying every single design software that exist...
People don't care. They want to be angry at Mighty Zuck. Not scary Adobe.

Today, Asgard's Wrath 2 is releasing. If you are on PCVR, PSVR or Pico, don't dismiss its quality or success.
It's a win for VR. Just like Alyx is. You haven't played it, don't judge it. If you have nothing good to say, play your favorite game and let others enjoy it.

I love my Meta Quest devices, but every time Meta make a move, I fear having them as a leader in VR. They can't seem to communicate between each departments and one feature break another.

I really want the Apple vision pro to succeed.
Them failing would be a terrible blow to VR to the public eyes. Apple not being able to deliver would put VR in a bad place. It's easier to point the failure to VR than Apple.

When people said : but nothing interesting can be built with B&W low res passthrough.
My answer was : devs are creative and find workarounds. Same was said with hands tracking.
Devs answer : hold my beer.

Meta Quest 3 needs to let you anchor screens in your physical space. And it needs "room" occlusion. That's why we map it right?
And having hands occlusion, even if not perfect, would really help too.
I hope it's coming 🤞

VR is rapidly growing. Well faster than 5 years ago... Some old titles haven't had the same fate as beat saber, onward and others.
I would love to do a Quest/PCVR throwback highlights to provide new comers an idea of what is still relevant today 🤔

People returning their Apple vision pro claim "it's just not there yet". The ones I've seen are VR enthusiasts who own multiple VR devices.
I wonder if they remember the Quest 1 launch. It started barebone and ended up with hands tracking, passthrough and so much more.

I am strongly in favor of Mobile VR over PC VR. Simply because of accessibility and ease of use.
Wonder where would be PCVR if GPU universe wasn't so messed up though.
I really think if mining wasn't trendy and gpu were accessible many more Quest users would turn into PCVR.

I feel like the Quest 3 is bringing a lot of eyes on VR... But is too expensive. I noticed a big increase in people looking for a Quest 2 around me. People are asking me if it is still a good device to get today. Maybe a Quest lite kinda makes sense...

Breachers really is impressive. The team achieved something amazing with their visual style. They managed to make everything look really good on both PCVR and Quest. Very low poly modeling and everything carefully designed in the textures.
Great job!

For the PCVR people that are sad/angry that Quest players are getting Asgard's Wrath 2, there are a lot of alternative for you.
- Undead Citadel (coming out june 8th)
- Grimlord (demo atm)
- Legendary tales
- Skyrim VR
- Karnage Chronicles
And more! No need for toxicity. Enjoy.

I'm glad Oculus are adding native VR streaming. I'm sad it "wasn't ready" until weeks ago and not store worthy. Only allowed on app lab. 😔

Tested v55 with some games. In some games I noticed better image clarity (rendering at higher res), in other I noticed less frame drops. But the one thing I love the most is a smoother UI, smoother hands tracking and my notifications are back after 2 versions not working.

Reading a book : not embarrassing,
Watching a documentary: not embarrassing,
Watching a reconstruction an take part of it : embarassing.
What define embarassing? VR unlock spatial memory, emotions, feeling of scale and presence. Those are very useful for learning.

Best campaign we got since Saints & Sinners in 2020.

The fact many devs stuck on sidequest and app lab are now porting to Pico makes me believe meta will have to make app lab easier to discover.
If not, devs may just not see the interest to work that hard to be hidden when another platform will give visibility

I expected the Quest 3 to keep rooms (walls and furniture) in place. 😭
Since launch, I have had to redo my room every day since launch. Furniture keeps shifting, walls rotate in weird angles creating holes in the room.
Hope it improves. It's faster than Quest 2 but as unreliable

The Quest 3 really gets me excited as an XR device. It brings something new to the table, something innovative. But it's resolution and weight leave some experiences out of the way. Glad Bigscreen beyond and immersed Vision are there to fill the gap! 🔥
