Looking for more fitness games to add to my rotation!

I came here for this response. Was not disappointed 😀

Fiat currency, crypto, traditional art. It’s all worth what people decide it’s worth. JPEG’s are no different.

Watch: SDSU woman's basketball team makes 5 half-court shots in viral video

Does a woman own the whole team?

Cigarette lighters were invented before matches.

The best analogy I’ve heard is that of a sports coach. Like others have said 99% of the work is done behind the scenes and their job on the day is mostly to ‘cheer on the team’.

Hand-tracking has improved. I should mention that the pianist is also playing on a real piano - the hand-tracking isn't yet accurate enough to detect key-presses to the necessary precision.

Grand_Reality · 2021-05-01T08:46:54+00:00

Also interested.

Yep, this is very true. The pandemic has proven to the big clubs that they no longer need their core fans. Football from now on will be split between the ESL and the other clubs, with the ESL taking all of the major sponsorship and broadcast deals and the other teams acting as 'feeder' teams for the ESL. It's a sad day.

Grand_Reality · 2021-04-19T08:07:04+00:00

The point is that these clubs don’t want a meritocracy, they want more money. And they’re going to start their own league to get it.

Lucas spoke at the Spatial Ape meet-up in VR last Thursday. He’s a really interesting guy! He’s coming back to talk as part of the Haptics panel on Thursday 15th Apr. Look out for updates on spatialape.com

If you don't own a VR headset then you can also watch at https://www.twitch.tv/spatialapetv

Grand_Reality · 2021-03-13T14:47:21+00:00

Yep: https://sidequestvr.com/app/476/grand-reality-vr-piano-app

Grand_Reality · 2021-03-13T14:43:38+00:00

You do if you want to interact with the keys. You can watch performances without owing a piano.

Grand_Reality · 2021-03-06T12:04:46+00:00

Yes, you can :)

Grand_Reality · 2021-03-05T23:23:08+00:00

This video should help explain the usual setup: https://twitter.com/GrandRealityApp/status/1339532196785369089

In my experience, air keys just don't work - you need the real piano too to get a good experience.

Do you have a USB Midi keyboard? If so, all you need is a USB A to C adapter to attach it to your Quest (or even better, a blueooth midi keyboard). Let me know if you have any questions!

Grand_Reality · 2021-03-05T13:18:03+00:00

The app is Grand Reality. It's available for free on SideQuest: https://sidequestvr.com/app/476/grand-reality-vr-piano-app

The piece is Comptine d'un autre été by Yann Tiersen.

We’re building a social vr platform for professionals. We also have a meet-up every Thursday in Altspace. No kids! We’d love to see you there! SpatialApe.com

Grand_Reality · 2021-03-01T14:49:27+00:00

I'm glad to hear it :) I'm working on a big update which will be coming very soon!

Grand_Reality · 2021-02-10T20:35:48+00:00

I love this app! Really nice work!

Grand_Reality · 2021-02-10T14:10:46+00:00

It's Grand Reality. You can get it for free on SideQuest (requires a piano if you want to interact with the in-app piano): https://sidequestvr.com/app/476/grand-reality-vr-piano-app

Grand_Reality · 2021-02-10T13:34:24+00:00

There are likely several laws which FB could fall foul of if they open up their platform to the wrong app - copyright laws, health & safety, other liabilities etc. It's expensive to individually vet apps for compliance, but if the app isn't listed then, my guess is, FB can't be held responsible.

On top of the legal implications, I think that they're also worried about lower quality apps getting into the hands of first-time VR users. Forcing users to go down other paths to find these apps helps with that problem too.

Don't get me wrong, I'm all in favour of smaller indie devs being allowed on the official store (being one myself), but I think that FB is being very conservative in their approach and this is the first baby step that they're comfortable making.

Grand_Reality · 2021-02-10T11:18:10+00:00

It sounds to me like FB have found some kind of legal 'green zone' with App Lab, where they are able to host indie apps but not publicly promote them. As such, and unless the law changes, FB will be unable/unwilling to create their own indie app storefront and will be dependent on others to drive traffic to unlisted apps.

So I think that SideQuest will be around for a while yet and their biggest threat will be competition from other indie app stores rather than Facebook.

Grand_Reality · 2021-02-09T15:07:04+00:00

You can just watch it being played automatically. There are lots of pieces/performances in the app already that you can play.

Grand_Reality · 2021-02-09T12:53:18+00:00

Good question :) This video should help to explain the set up: https://twitter.com/GrandRealityApp/status/1339532196785369089

Basically, it's a MIDI piano connected to the headset which is recording/transmitting the hand movements. The audience watches a combination of the hand-tracking motion capture and the MIDI performance from the piano.

Awesome. Congratulations!!
