I got my Oculus quest 2 and have been using it a couple days ... even jumped into altspace vr and took it for a spin (friended roelandp)
I understand now way better how it's gonna be. We should get a group and jump in there soon and record it so that people get a sense of how well it should work so that they're motivated to grab their VR rig sooner than later before the Christmas rush causes not much to be available.
On another note what is the sponsorship money going towards? Is there a lot of expenses beyond the new computer? Does altspacevr charge you? Should we have the expectation that this is like a job for you?
It would be cool to connect a bunch of people with VR headsets that want to join but don't have the money that's what a lot of past sponsorship money was for right? (not certain but that was my perception)
Another note... you say 75hbd donation gives you a gold star but there is no 75hbd option on your site... only 100hbd it skips from 50 to 100 hbd
Looking forward to hanging out with you again, @jarvie – this time in VR! ;)
Awesome idea about getting a group to hang out in the Altspace VR to show people what it will be like.
I'm guessing it should be @roelandp since he has the vision of what hivefest could be like and could paint that picture during our hangout. I think it should be really soon since some oculus quest 2 are pretty far delayed people need to be thinking about getting one asap
@derangedvisions are you up and running with VR already?
@jarvie @derangedvisions great idea.
Scheduled for coming thursday, hope you can make it!
Just hop in and out, no plans or scheduled talks. Testing streaming and maybe we do a brief chat which we can show off?

I'll try to make sure i have some good internet and will see you there. Hope you let some more people know about it as well.
@roelandp have you told anyone about the show off meet-up today besides tagging me and deranged?
