Attention fans of theBlu! We are excited to announce that we are launching a new version of theBlu, featuring updated navigation, locomotion, and new options to enhance your enjoyment of the ocean. The best part? The original “Whale Encounter" with the Blue Whale will now be available as a free experience.
In addition to the free content, we are also offering three new DLC experiences for you to dive into:

Reef Migration: Witness the magnificence of an undersea migration on the edge of a coral reef.
Luminous Abyss: Venture into the deepest region of the ocean to discover the iridescent abyss.
Hammerhead Cove: Sunlit Caribbean waters welcome you to a realm where one creature reigns supreme.
We hope these new experiences will provide even more wonder and majesty for you to explore in theBlu. Thank you for your continued support of our immersive VR series.
(For existing customers of theBlu product, you will find a new download link in your profile to the free app, plus the existing two episodes you already own)

Oculus Touch Review: The Games
I’ve already yammered about the design and capabilities of the Oculus Touch motion controller hardware itself, and now it’s time to talk software. Around 50 Touch-enabled VR games and apps launched this week – more than I can feasibly hope to look at, but I’ve been able to finger

Hola theBlu fans!
We just pushed out the 1.3 Update to all users. This is a bigger update than usual with a new mode (Preview Mode), and a couple of fixes! We think you'll dig Preview Mode- a unique new way to demo theBlu to family and friends.
New Features & Additions:

Preview Mode is now available on the menu. Preview Mode will give you a shortened, two minute version of the Reef Migration or Luminous Abyss. It has all the interactivity, audio and events from the full experience.
Please note that Inspector & Ambient Mode will NOT work with Preview Mode.
To use Preview Mode, just toggle it "On" on the menu. By default, it will be off to avoid any confusion.
When entering a scene in Ambient Mode you'll now see the Ambient Mode icon below the logo.
As per usual, if you see any issues or hit any bugs, don't hesitate to let us know-- email us at [email protected]. And keep sending us those amazing screenshots! We love seeing theBlu from a new perspective!
