Mighty Coconut just released a new course for Walkabout Mini Golf (2020) , letting you putt-putt your way around the home of the gods: Mount Olympus. As the game’s latest paid DLC, the Mount Olympus map brings two 18-hole courses (one easy, one hard) intertwined around classical Greek temples.

Like many such straps, Bigscreen’s Audio Strap replaces the default fabric strap with a rigid body that cups the top and back of the head, includes an adjustable dial for easy fitting, and features (of course) built-in on-ear headphones. With a free one in the box though, that’s certainly different story.
Animator and Walkabout Mini Golf course designer Henning Koczy offered a tour of Mighty Coconut's Viva Las Elvis chock full of behind-the-scenes details. Walkabout's 31st course begins at hole 1 as you pull up to the casino in glittering '70s era Las Vegas. The 25-minute path is available here.

One of the reasons is that these lenses are made to show full FOV when they are worn on the eye, but of course, I could not do this test, so my perceived FOV with the lens close to the eye was probably just in the range 10-20°. Through the lens shot of XPANCEO.
Of course, since the automatic Quest Link launch is a facility, I suggest disabling it only for the days when you should do frequent file transfer operations , and keep it activated for the days you usually just play games. If you are running a game, of course, the Quest runtime is not letting Link predate your app, so you are safe.

Can you imagine what a straight translation might do to your course?

My visit to Varjo I’m currently in Helsinki to attend MatchXR and of course, I decided to visit Varjo , since it is based here.

What can we do in our corporate organizations, in our homes and communities, to change the current course? Weather catastrophes: Texas freezing over, the wildfires of California, the increasingly unpredictable violence and frequency of hurricanes, the rapid melting and disappearance of polar ice caps. Much more evidence all around us.
PS Camera Adapter | Photo by Road to VR Of course, this was nearly three years before Sony released PSVR 2, making the adapter indispensable for playing any VR title on PS5.

Social Hub – Form a party, customize your gear, and master your skills in the parkour course and blasting range. .
Of course, it is not something that can happen tomorrow. I think long-term they could become the future of content sharing: instead of making just a video, maybe people could remember their best moments by capturing a scene and then having it rendered as 3D moving Gaussian Splats so that to be able to relive it any time they want.
Of course, it is all open source, and you will be able to find the instructions on how to do that on the Open AR website (I will leave you all the links in a while). I looked at them and they seemed to me some Frankenstein electronic abomination, so of course, I wanted to try it! The overall cost to assemble it is just 30€.
The course of each story is affected according to what they say, where they look, and what they do with their hands. “In this experience, you can be each one of the four passengers who all have their own personal quest. You are one deciding all of that. The characters were created by volumetrically scanning the four actors.
Road to VR will of course be following all things Android XR, so make sure to check back soon for more. We’re still learning about Android XR; we haven’t heard whether other major game engines, like Epic’s Unreal Engine, are offering similar support.
It’s Vegas, after all… Of course, since I know myself how important it is to inform people who can not attend this massive event, I will report to you the most important XR gadgets I try, either here on this blog, or on my Youtube channel.
