Finally, the Deckard we all wanted, and it's called BigScreen Beyond 2. Good lenses, good FOV, eye tracking. 108 grams, the weight of 4 AA batteries.

Insane.

Ooooh #Bigscreen is releasing a Beyond 2 with better lenses!

That's been my biggest issue with the Beyond 1 so this could be a welcome upgrade. They're also adding an eye-tracked version which means this could be good for #VRChat users

Learning Python basics while hanging out in VR, with a screen everyone can see in real time. And yes, I never had proper training for Python, C++, or Linux. I know how to use them, but not the proper terminology or some obvious basics. #VR #learning #python #linux #resonite

"The Electric State" is a cool Sci-Fi flick! I just randomly started watching it and got hooked. Great VFX!

I spent most of the day #coding a single button. See, it has to render text in #opengl, over an image, onto a panel in 3D space, which then triggers an external event if any motion tracked #VR cursor presses a controller button or trigger while the tip is colliding. It also highlights on touch, and cleans up its resources when destroyed. Now that buttons are sorted, tomorrow I can work on check-boxes and sliders.

Next week I'm launching Star Central on Horizon Worlds: a galactic cartography "world" on the largest social VR app. Horizon Worlds has a reputation as a hang out for badly behaved kids playing shooter games. But what if there was content that appealed to a different (and older) group of people?

There are a couple of walkable Gaia maps, but the most exciting bit is the Star Cinema with immersive audio and image presentations that take the audience travelling across the galaxy.

No, RC Rush isn't discounted in the Steam Spring sale BUT if you have a VR headset and you like RC cars, then it's totally worth full price!! Even more so if you like supporting small indie developers like me. Check out the reviews from lots of people who paid full price! They love it! And so do I, but I'm bias of course. Look for yourself. Lots of trucks, lots of levels and lots of PC VR racing fun! https://store.steampowered.com/app/1654800/RC_Rush/ #NonSale #NotOnSale #SteamSale #VR #RC #RCRush #indiegame #indiedev
