- anonzzzies 3y agoSeems pancake but you can place them anywhere in ‘space’. As I use VR/AR only for productivity (more/bigger monitors, less irl space), I would really like to have all android apps from the play store hanging in AR/VR space as pancake ‘screens’ I can organise. Now that Apple announced support for all iOS apps and games, I cannot see the rest being able to just sit and not follow for android.
- doctoboggan 3y agoI don't know much about the apple metal stack, but theoretically all you have to do is duplicate and offset the camera and render twice.
- anonzzzies 3y agoAt least Apple proves it’s possible To expose all their apps just as is; they have been saying in Quest forums for years this is ‘impossible’ and the app has to be tailored for it, even just as a flat screen hanging in VR. Impossible, or couldn’t be asked? The latter surely?
- zacte 3y agoI think it's a good idea letting people get used to 2D apps in VR. Apple could've done more to first party apps to use their 3D space because they clearly showed us it works with the butterfly, dinosaur bit. I guess it depends on the developers now?
