Dimensional Double Shift is a four-player co-op game from Owlchemy Labs, the creators of Job Simulator, Vacation Simulator and Cosmonious High.
Like those games, you’ll be doing hilarious oddball tasks in VR — but now you’re working for an “interdimensional” gas station, diner, and garage, and using your actual tracked hands to manipulate objects.
And later in 2025, users will be able to generate a new avatar with an AI prompt.
5X usage growth in 2024, and the app is a top five Quest 3 app in terms of weekly users, the company says.
Correction: Horizon Worlds is not a Quest 5 app.
Could be a really big deal for developers — the announcement got huge cheers in the Connect keynote room.
We’re in the developer-focused section of Meta’s Connect keynote. CTO Andrew Bosworth is onstage and starts with an apology: “We have not made it easy to develop for our platforms. I want you to know that we know that, and we’re sorry.”
He goes on to say that the “ground has constantly been shifting under your feet for years now.” Meta just recently killed Spark, its AR effects platform, without warning and has made more changes than I can count to the Quest’s software.
Zuckerberg has wrapped up announcements. We just watched a video made by director Matthew Vaughn filmed on Ray-Ban Meta glasses.
Now Andrew Bosworth is here for the developer keynote.
At Meta Connect, CEO Mark Zuckerberg says Quest VR headset users will be able to connect to Windows 11 PCs just by looking at their keyboard — much the same way Apple’s Vision Pro can do that when you look at a MacBook.
Here’s a gallery of pics from the presentation.
That could be kind of useful, actually.
I still think it’s pretty bad, but people in the crowd seem to love it.
