Kayak your way through Lotus Pond
Download today's update to hop in our new KAYAK avatar and pedal (or paddle) your way around LOTUS POND! Suitable for players new to VR and anyone looking for a gentle workout, Lotus Pond offers a chance to take slow turns, befriend the local water fowl, and explore a calming environment. Drop by the forums and let us know what you think!
Introducing Friends & Challenges!
Meanwhile, at My VirZOOM, your web-based companion for VirZOOM Arcade games, we've added a bunch of features to make it easier to play and work out with other players. Invite anyone with a VirZOOM account to be your FRIEND, and schedule CHALLENGES for any VirZOOM game to coordinate workouts or hold your own tournaments. You can also filter Leaderboards to show just the players you know, and view your ACTIVITY LOG at the My VirZOOM homepage for updates on what you and your friends have been playing.
Don't know anybody else with a VirZOOM yet? You always have a friend in us. Feel free to send friend invitations to VirZOOM CTO and Co-founder Eric Malafeew (EMALAFEEW) and Community Manager Jason Tocci (JASON), and drop by this forum thread to meet other players and exchange screen names!
And finally, if you're just looking for a pick-up game, My VirZOOM now shows data for WHO'S PLAYING WHAT, and WHEN PEOPLE PLAY MOST by day of the week and time of day, so you can jump in on whatever game has the most matches going.
Show Off: Screenshots & Mixed Reality
Ever wanted to capture your most glorious Pegasus shot, or show off your tank-driving moves? Well, that's easier than ever now. Take a SCREENSHOT without removing your VR headset by pressing the up arrow and X button on your handlebar controllers!
We've also added Vive MIXED REALITY support using externalcamera.cfg, so you can show off how it really feels to round the corners of a race track or gallop after bandits. We've posted quick-and-dirty examples featuring our new Kayak Lotus Pond and our Demo on our YouTube channel, but we're looking forward to seeing what you come up with.
More to Come...
Keep an eye out on Steam: It'll soon be able to host user-submitted configurations for our PC GAMEPAD EMULATOR, allowing you to exercise with plenty more of your favorite games. And don't forget to drop by My VirZOOM for more goodies to come!
