frame_6a69ccb13deae4 63099682 This one is still **offline/single player** but it adds a bunch of enhancements for world builders, a bunch of fixes and some really cool new features too.
  • A new daytime space for the campfire, new texturing.
  • A whole new Unity upload system, you can create and upload to worlds straight from the Unity Uploader!
  • Select which world from a drop down, no need to mess with space slugs!
  • Newly uploaded worlds are encrypted, with a flalback for loading unencrypted worlds too.
  • A log uploader to help us track things down when things arent working right.
  • Fixes to space loading to make sure you can always load in.
  • FIxed the graphics API on windows to fix pink shaders.
  • A compelte rebrand of teh SDK moving away from Banter naming conventions.
  • A Quest Native build! You can sideload it with SideQuest, but if thats too much hassle then please fill out this form to be added to a Beta on Meta to get it without sideloading:
  • A bunch of other fixes and improvements!

I want to also tell you about some conversations Ive been having with Greg Fodor, who was one of the most prolific tech leadears in the original Altspace days before Microsoft. He has been working on a product called PortalVR which extends the capabilities of desktop VR applications to include motion controllers, hand and head tracking, and 3D display/AR support, and we're going to include those features in the 2D version of the AltspaceVR beta to see what the community thinks. Though not all of them are inegrated with Altspace yet, we hope to get them all implemented in the near future.

  • Support for VR controllers in 2d mode, Quest 1/2/3, PICO 3/4, Galaxy XR (Vive and Index controllers aren't working yet with the standalone runtime version)
  • Joy-Con 1 + 2 tracking on webcam or iPhone
  • Smartphone controller (iPhone or Android app that turns the phone into a 6dof controller)
  • Head/Face/Hand tracking
  • Support for Odyssey 3D and other leia 3d displays, VITURE and XREAL AR glasses, and general SBS mode. also anaglyph trioviz glasses

A huge thanks to Greg Fodor for all his work over the years tirelesly working to make Altspace great and now for bringing this free enhancement to make non-vr users more present in the world with you.
