High Fidelity First Announced Social VR Platform for Vive Focus Plus

Looks like congrats to Philip Rosedale and his team at High Fidelity are in order. Last February, HTC Vive announced the Q2 2019 launch of Vive Focus Plus, a standalone VR system for enterprise applications -- and last week, Philip announced (in the video above) that High Fidelity is working with Vive to make its open source VR platform available to the Plus.

Unless I missed it, this is the first social VR app that's been officially announced for the new system, which is already being used in enterprise-facing applications:

Two whole years ago, for instance, High Fidelity was being used to to train students in oil and gas drilling at the University Of North Dakota.

This is a great move for both Vive and High Fidelity. I remain skeptical of VR's potential as a mass market consumer product, but am equally convinced VR's use for enterprise applications (especially training and therapy) is extremely powerful, and should take precedent.
