Quest 2 Mixed Reality is Finally Here: The World Beyond
Today marks the release of the world beyond, a mixed reality demo from Meta for the quest 2 and the future project cambria headset.
To get started you will need to use the room setup feature found inside the settings tab under guardian. Once you are done setting up your room for mixed reality you can now search for the world beyond in the app store and you’ll find it under app lab or use this link here: https://www.oculus.com/experiences/quest/4873390506111025
When you jump in it’s a little confusing at first but soon a device comes up from the ground below you that turns your controller into a device when you grab it.
You soon begin to hear some interesting noises and when you look in the correct spot you’ll see our new little mixed reality tomagatchi friend Oppy.
Use the newly acquired controller device by clicking the trigger to turn it into a flashlight to search out the randomly placed energy balls throughout your room.
Once you Pokémon catch ‘em all you can then shoot them from your gun and watch them bounce off your walls and around your room and then our little friend will eat them up and ask you to use voice commands to have opp jump, say hi, or come closer. And yes you can pet ole oppy. !
Once all your energy balls are shot here is where the true magic is revealed. The gun device turns into wall portal shooter where you can then turn your walls into the whimsical forest setting we saw in the project cambria highlight. You can reveal the full scene on all four of your walls and ceiling. No luck with the floor though.
Next you’ll need to find a couple more energy balls for little oppy and then I’ll let you experience the ending.
This is a fun demo and I’m excited where devs are going to take this new presence platform feature next. How beyond was your world after trying this demo? Let me know and I’ll catch you in the next quickie.
