We have this functionality over at vrland.io as well, and it doesn't require going through FB's walled garden Oculus store. It's like a web-based VRChat, so it will work on any device with a browser. If Apple ships WebXR when they release their headset next year, it will work by default there too. Universal, decentralized, and free of walled gardens. That's the definition of the metaverse! Our team is on a mission to build a immersive version of the web in 3D and VR. Check it out here: https://vrland.io/cinema https://vrland.io/cinema

Haha it’s a bit of a party with the hacker news crowd Is there a way to sit? I got a hang of the controls within a minute which is pretty impressive for touchscreen on mobile, but FYI it was pretty easy to back up to a wall such that my camera was behind the wall while I was still in front of it, so I couldn’t see anything. I wonder if it would be any easy fix to make the wall surfaces one-sided.

    O, I heard you talking for a minute but I’m having some trouble. On using Safari on an iPhone SE (v. 2020) I gave access to microphone but it wasn’t clear if it was muted by default, when I tapped to mute, all of the audio cut out, which was unexpected, I was just trying to mute myself to be polite. And when I open the chat, and click in the text field, it highlights with blue edge and my keyboard opens, but nothing I type is reflected in the text box, and I see no way to submit. Best of luck, it’s an ambitious project.

This is very reminiscent of Active Worlds[1][2], right down to how you drop-in and interact with the world. Would have thought after 25-years we would have developed the value proposition better, and not the client. 1. https://activeworlds.com/ https://activeworlds.com/ 2. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Active_Worlds https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Active_Worlds

    Haha, sorry friend, but still, memories of cranking up that 56k and logging on to Active Worlds night after night. Well, everything is illuminated I guess.
