"Breakthrough technology in Vive from the partnership of HTC and Valve® delivers a new level of immersive experience in VR," said Eric Romo, founder and CEO of AltspaceVR. "The Vive controllers bring more of your body into VR adding a critical layer of non-verbal communication."
AltspaceVR has been leading the development of VR as a communications medium, bringing users together where they can directly interact in shared virtual spaces. With AltspaceVR, Vive owners can now attend live music, comedy or art shows, or watch streaming video such as YouTube, Twitch or Periscope, or play tabletop games such as Dungeons and Dragons or Boss Monster in VR.
Also being announced today are interactables, which use the wireless controllers and advanced sensors of the Vive to provide a more immersive experience. With interactables, users can pick up, throw, catch, and manipulate objects in VR. For example, in AltspaceVR users can now slide a mug across a medieval bar, toss pumpkins during a VR food fight, or pick up a sword to battle with a friend. The Vive haptics let the user know when they are touching an interactable. The result is a more authentic and engaging experience when people meet in AltspaceVR.
AltspaceVR provides the most natural communication available online. Users can navigate freely around environments more realistically with Vive 360? motion. They can talk, gesture and interact while enjoying the greatest variety of activities and events available in social VR.
