There are so many reports out there talking about how kids these days are less social because of the internet and social media. That they never actually go out and meet people anymore. However, we now have the best of both worlds with AltspaceVR.
AltspaceVR plans to merge the gap between social media and real life. Their new app for the Samsung Gear VR aims to provide a place where users can “hang out together”, but in virtual reality. Users will be able to sit down and watch online videos, stream Netflix, play games, just talk, and more. All without actually going anywhere in real life.
AltspaceVR Founder & CEO Eric Romo said:
“Our focus at AltspaceVR is creating the most natural and fulfilling communication experience possible online, and we’re thrilled to bring it to Gear VR,”
AltspaceVR is also trying to be more than just a VR social network, but eventually turning into a new way to teleconference. Hopefully, one day being able to be used to work on team projects together without everyone actually being in the same room.
AltspaceVR was already out on the PC, but this is its first mobile app. Due to the lack of mobile controls compared to on the PC, AltspaceVR has to think of the best apps and games users can collaborate on. Feel free to suggest what you think would be awesome in the comments.
If you have a Gear VR and would like to try out AltspaceVR, head over to the Oculus Store now. Don’t forget to say “hello” if you see me there.
