Palmer Luckey Unveils Toybox, Oculus' Own VR World

"This is a great video showing what can be done in Oculus Toybox," Palmer Luckey just announced on his Facebook page, sharing this video below, "an application that has been integral to the development of Oculus Touch." What you see isn't at all what we're used to seeing when we think of the term "virtual world", but maybe that's the point:

"We have used it to learn a lot about various VR interactions, especially when it comes to multiple users in the same virtual space!"

Details beyond that are scant so far, but here's what the YouTube video description says:

"The Toybox demo for Oculus Touch demonstrates the power of social VR. You can use your hands to poke at things, pull objects apart, stack blocks, and play games with another person inside a virtual world."

Like previous week I wrote in here about a facebook virtual world. Ow look it is starting to show.

and if you think you will only be using those blue heads and hands in there wait until you will see their collection of avatars which of course they are not showing you now.

Hmmm... and people should spend hundreds of $ for VR goggles to play stuff like this?

Ohhh, gee, a "virtual world", I can't wait to live inside this space where I can play fake paddleball. The future is here! LOL

I thought this was Microsoft's Hololens big thing?

[cyberserenity]

LOL. You can do that better in real. Does it work when you are worlds apart? Maybe then.

This totally wipes the floor with High Fidelity, who showed that clumsy demo of stacking boxes with your hands, the other week...

[Cube Republic]

Didn't unity just release their VR dev kit?

Cool! The disembodied heads and hands are kind of brilliant - I can't help but "interpolate" the bodies between them.
