Bigscreen update adds 3D Drawing in VR!

Release Notes for 0.16.0

Sketch in 3D

Try out the new drawing tools and sketch in 3D with your Oculus Touch or HTC Vive controllers. Words won’t do it justice, so check out some GIFs here

  • Use one or BOTH hands to sketch at the same time.
  • Grab a marker and draw by holding down the trigger button.
  • Dip markers in the different paint buckets to change colors.

In a couple weeks, we’ll be adding more tools and features to 3D Drawing. Here are some current issues and limitations:

  • Can’t save drawings yet, so make sure to take gifs or screenshots before switching rooms.
  • If you join a multiplayer room, you can’t see the sketches made before you joined.

Improvements to the Tablet Interface

The tablet menu is now always on and no longer sticks to your hand when using your Oculus Touch or HTC Vive controllers. Use your hand to grab it and move it around!

New “Tools” UI

3D Marker, Virtual Keyboard, and Camera capture tools can be found in the tools section of the UI.

What we are working on next...

  • HUGE update to multiplayer, new engine that fixes performance, audio streaming issues, video streaming frame rate, etc. 🙌
  • New avatars
  • Virtual keyboard improvements
  • New environments (cinema theater)
  • Desktop audio native integration (will take time, but we’re working on it)
