  • Virtual Reality Meeting Inquiry
    I'd heard about one, but it looks like they shut down a couple months ago: https://altvr.com/. Source: 11 months ago
  • R.I.P. AltspaceVR I will miss you
    I know a lot of you probably do not care that AltspaceVR is going away in March but I will miss it dearly. Sauce : https://altvr.com/ I was on the platform at the very beginning using an opendive 3D printed DIY headset my phone and trinus. I then made the switch to GearVR in 2017 and had great fun playing cards against humanity until they ended mobile support. I still visited occasionally the past few years on...

  • Microsoft is shutting down its metaverse
    For those who are unaware of the Microsoft metaverse, it is called AltSpace (altvr.com) and it was pretty much one of the most successful VR metaverses around until Microsoft bought it in 2017. Source: over 1 year ago

  • So you want to run a virtual event
    One specific sub-flavor of this sort of chat tool you might encounter are VR spaces like AltSpace, VRChat, or Mozilla Hubs that are primarily focused on VR but also usually support flat displays or smartphones. - Source: dev.to / about 2 years ago
  • How to create standalone digital environments, like the Home Environments on Quest 2?
    One option would be to take advantage of a platform like AltspaceVR. If you can get something into Unity you can get it into AltspaceVR using their Unity Uploader tool. Then you can base a "world" on your template upload and take advantage of the platform's multiplayer/social features to show off your content in person, so to speak. You can keep your worlds private if you like and use a whitelist to allow only... Source: about 2 years ago
  • What is your favorite meditation app?
    I also like to use AltspaceVR and Hoame on Oculus Quest 2. There’s a group called EvolVR that does virtual reality meditation classes/discussions. Source: about 2 years ago
  • Is there a way to watch Netflix with multiple people
    You can do this in AltspaceVR as well using the Web Projector. Read the tutorial but in a nutshell you can stream an Edge browser tab (or your entire desktop) into any virtual world that you have control over and broadcast it to everyone there. This is by far my preferred solution for co-watching because there are no locomotion restrictions and you can build a world around the virtual screen while you're... Source: over 2 years ago
  • VR Chad
    Metaverse already exists and its called Altspace and its depressing. Source: over 2 years ago
  • Ride along (as avatars) online. (VR or desktop) Event for aspiring entrepreneurs.
    To solve this problem for myself and hopefully some of you, I'll be hosting a free online event in Altspace (Desktop/VR/avatar-based-gathering+events) called Startup Schmartup (Eventbrite). Source: almost 3 years ago
  • Import .obj files into the Quest 2
    You could import your OBJ into Unity and then upload it to AltspaceVR as a world template and then make a world out of it. Source: almost 3 years ago
  • A VR headset changed my life
    During my discovery phase I met nice people in apps like https://altvr.com/ who guided me how to use the App and make most use of it. Some of them also showed me how with code and create my own virtual world with all music and jazz. - Source: dev.to / about 3 years ago
