What should we expect from the new multiplayer VR game from Owlchemy Labs?
Coming from Owlchemy Labs, we can expect a whole lot ofobject interactions. The hand tracking technology offered by the controllers of current VR headsets can, however, struggle to provide satisfactory interaction with the various objects. Nevertheless, with the tracking of the hands of the Meta Quest 2we can still expect good results.
According to the trailer released by the studio, its new multiplayer VR game will indeed be available on Meta’s standalone VR headset. Apparently Owlchemy Labs also counts continue the trend by leveraging hand tracking technology from the company’s upcoming VR device, Project Cambria.
Anyway, according to its CEO, Devin Reimer, his team brings together all the ingredients to offer a ” magical VR experience to the players. It therefore combines in particular the technology of hand tracking with its original worlds. Note that since the launch of Cosmonious High, the VR studio has almost tripled in size.
