Congrats @vrbosenet for your well earned title! I can't believe how fast the time has flown. Thanks for all your support, insights, and reporting of the industry. You've definitely been around the VR block 😀 roadtovr.com/scott-hayden-ex…

OK, yesterday there was manual reloading, and today a two-handed grip with recoil reduction, work on this VR mod for Cyberpunk 2077 is progressing at a lightning pace 🤩

VR mods have REALLY been blowing up the past few months and it's amazing to see. But it also can be hard to keep track of them all (good problem to have, right?).
I'll start generating these reports each month that gathers up mod release news from the Discord and puts it in a single page (and still do server ping announcements for the bigger VR mod releases, especially when a mod releases in a more polished state. DM me if you think something is ready for that).
Let me know if it missed anything important! Here's an initial report from the last few months from our amazing Flat2VR Modding Discord community htmlpreview.github.io/?https…

BTW, if the XBOX division is scrounging for loose change under the sofa cushions, I’m still willing to put up a $1M guarantee to allow @TeamBeefVR to commercialize the legacy open source games on VR.
Been seeing numerous posts the last few weeks concerned about issues with Quest store. Another find here from @bmfshow
The Meta Quest store never ceases to amaze me lately. Today's find is this gem sitting in the "curated" coming soon section of the Quest store. Now I would love to be wrong and this is an actual game but Truck Simulator: Truck Driving & Parking is up for pre-order and launching this month apparently. The "screenshots" don't just look too good for Quest they look AI generated. To top it all off I saw a reddit post with someone asking if it was worth work preordering the game 🤦♂️. If you are the maker of this game and this is legit then I'm sorry...but if what is more likely the case, this is a fake listing accepting people's money and Meta is actively promoting it in their curated coming soon category that is on the main web page and in the app then this is yet another problem stacked on top of the numerous others. I'm not a doom and gloom guy but come on now Meta. You gotta get your act together with these things. Studios are closing and people are losing their jobs and the fact that the story is in such disarray is just making the problem worse.

An Absolute Game Changer Coming For UEVR
PureDark has been bringing his AFW implementation to UEVR which can almost double fps in many cases.
If you haven’t tried his AFW for RE Engine yet, it works by alternating the frame and using the previous frame + the alternate eye to reconstruct the opposite eye.
The end result is that you only render one eye instead of two for synced eye rendering.
✅ Not guessing a future frame like ASW / AppSW / Motion Smooth
✅Not the added latency of frame gen techniques
✅Even opens the door to eye tracked foveated rendering quad views for UEVR

Backtracking on what it announced on Tuesday, Meta now says it will keep Horizon Worlds VR support "for existing games":

Impressive to bring Amy May into my home to perform in full 3D 6DoF with no software download. Congrats @gracia_vr! Under a minute to pull up the Gracia.AI site on @MetaQuestVR browser and, with no friction, stream into my VR room! Wonderful sense of presence. Bravo 👏

Every VR content creator can tell you that getting recording files off of their Quest and synced with cloud backups is a huge pain, so I made something better and I'm releasing it for free and open source to help them out.
The 5090 has arrived! Weighs in at 7 lbs,not quite as heavy as the stack of cash it cost me! 👀 Brutal!!! 😬
My first thought unboxing was "this thing is an aircraft carrier!" AI video doing a proper job at portraying what my brain was seeing when comparing to my 3080 🤣
Next stop... 1200W power supply to keep my basement warm 😀
