If you've been curious about what's cooking in next-gen VR, here's a good quick vid on Basis VR. In spite of all the recent news and *gestures widely to everything* I'm actually super optimistic about this one slice of the world - incredible energy, incredible engineering - really good people

Basis lets you set up your own VR games with ease. Open-Source, under the MIT-License, it is designed for creators. Featuring strong systems for networking, user inputs and user presence. basisvr.org youtu.be/wz4TnMTppmg #basisvr #vr #gaming #unity3d

Added URP support to my cel shader, Crosstone! Recorded from @basisvr.org! Crosstone was designed from the onset to integrate nicely into HDR lighting, and you can see how it reacts naturally to the APV-lit environment without problems! #unity

You read that right! Our next load test is coming up, and we are aiming to have 1000 users in one instance. Check out our Discord for more information! discord.gg/6m76H33XWJ see you all 8 AM Apr 20th AEST

This week, we tested out vehicles! We held a team scavenger hunt, which was a lot of fun. thankyou -> @aaronfranke.dev, for the vehicle's logic @cnlohr.bsky.social for cilbox @maebbie.bsky.social for putting together the video below Basis is a framework, MIT-licensed, built on top of Unity

The all-star VR cast has come together for load test no. 3 of the @basisvr.org Framework. Creators from all sorts of places have shown again, that they are rooting for this critical piece of VR Development.

Well, we did it again - we broke our previous record and achieved 679. Still, there's lots more to do. I have not been this nervous during an event since asking my fiancé to marry me. Appreciate you all. We will try to break 800 in a few months.

The next load test is just around the corner (2 days away), and we're still looking for more people to join us! discord.gg/v6ve6WT562 We are pushing to pass 600 in one room. Steam keys are available in Discord. The images below are from the validation test

We have our next load test scheduled for two weeks from now. Feel free to join us to break our previous record and test our latest stable release! Basis is an open-source framework for social VR and games. discord.gg/v6ve6WT562

A new dynamic seat system is coming to Basis VR @basisvr.org! It includes support for any size avatars on any size seats, in any orientation, with the legs and spine at any angle. This uses the same data as in the @openmetaverse.bsky.social OMI_seat standard. PR: github.com/BasisVR/Basi...

Basis shares our philosophy, and is building the steps to hop into the metaverse. Join the conversation where we discuss our common philosophy and vision, next Monday - check either discord server for info and share your views!

I released STF version 0.0.8! It features a much improved animation module, and the ability to import in Unity directly into a @basisvr.org avatar setup! STF also got a barebones website to go along with it! stfform.at #3d #opensource #foss #interoperability #b3d #madewithunity #godot #gamedev

We’re excited to officially partner with @basisvr.org as they continue building the open foundation for VR.🎉 We look forward to continuing this strong partnership as we work on unannounced projects that will move the community forward inline with our creator-first vision. (More info in Discord)

Announcing Basis partnerships with Side Quest and Jinxxy! Great news for VR developers and the Basis community today! Jinxxy links: jinxxy.com & events.jinxxy.com Side quest & Banter Links: sidequestvr.com & bantervr.com

Experimenting streaming @vrcdn.live with github.com/VirtualBrigh... by @stopand.run in the @basisvr.org framework. Seems good!

Can you play Pool with 500+ VR Clients connected to a server? During the second Load Test on the @basisvr.org test server we found out...

This is what 545 concurrent users looks like in @basisvr.org

Helped out on the stress test for @basisvr.org this afternoon! 540 clients connected to one instance while I was in (11 of them were mine, ran out of RAM lol). Still got 35-40fps in world, though audio was dead and avatar updates were happening at like 1hz. Amazing everything stayed up tho!

545, that's how many we had at our load test today; there's still lots more to do. Basis is a VR game and social framework. Everything is open source; check it out at basisvr.org

Quick reminder about the @basisvr.org load test that is taking place tomorrow (Sun 3rd August 22:00 UTC+0) with the goal to break the previous record of 294 concurrent users! Further details here discord.com/events/12392... Please DM Dooly on Discord for Steam keys to the demo client.

In a few hours, we have our big load test to break our previous record of 293, I'm looking forward to seeing everyone. still room to join in on the fun! discord.gg/v6ve6WT562

youtu.be/M1_3zZe844c was recently on the Sweet Talking Podcast! Hope everyone enjoys it! @basisvr.org

This feels so wrong, but I had to try. Physically simulated non-kinematic legs; they don't clip through that breakable cube. (Made using the @basisvr.org social VR framework) bsky.app/profile/just...

Seeing first-hand the results of this play-test last night has given me a lot of hope for seeing how developers can utilise this framework to create unique events and spaces. Virtual clubs, music events or festivals that can push actual crowd numbers, in a manageable way, would be hugely immersive.

Broke our record again today at 294, ended up running out of computers to run basis clients on, plenty more to give. It was great seeing everyone. We run tests weekly; feel free to come along for the next one! basisvr.org discord.gg/v6ve6WT562

Live streaming @vrcdn.live over an ffmpeg video player was pretty awesome! So everyone that complained about instance sizes in VR being too small for events are going to join the CCU load test next weekend, right? 👀

We did a little DJ event during our normal test time. Next week, we are doing an official load test, and we need people to help break our previous record of 218! Please join us! discord.gg/v6ve6WT562 basisvr.org

Another week down. We added early versions of our handheld camera and individual user settings (volume and hiding avatars). basisvr.org was also on Metaverse Degen's latest episode! youtu.be/Ja2DXfzmTeo

a lot of improvements this week. It was fantastic seeing everyone. We will be doing another load test in 2 weeks. basisvr.org

we now support Quest and Linux! hard few weeks of work but another awesome milestone, we hold tests weekly basisvr.org

today we tested the Vulkan pipeline for basis, we run tests weekly: discord.gg/aCzSPKEW2v Basis is an open-source framework for social VR and games. environment is assetstore.unity.com/publishers/4...

Was working on a jitter filter for networked avatars on @basisvr.org, created a cartoon filter instead...

We broke the record today with 218 clients. There are still improvements to be made. It was great seeing everyone. We run tests weekly; feel free to come along for the next one! discord.gg/v6ve6WT562

the largest photo of people to date. At today's load test, there is plenty of room for improvement, hitting some software limit at 127 people. It was great seeing everyone.

after a bit of fighting with the new server today we were able to break the previous record and get up to 125 users before the server died, still plenty more work to do here. It is the same tiny droplet on digital ocean. thanks to everyone who showed up!

Today we ran the first official load test for basis, which was stable until around 106 people on a tiny digital ocean instance.

Basis is an open-source framework for social VR and games. was awesome to see everyone at our weekly test! github.com/dooly123/Bas... discord.gg/v6ve6WT562
