Gaming Staff • December 20, 2024
Virtual Reality GamingPatchWorld, a virtual music studio in VR and mixed reality, has released a major update for the Meta Quest platform. The update features Hand Tracking, allowing users to interact with the studio using natural gestures instead of controllers. Users can now touch, hit, tap, grab, move, pinch, tweak, trigger, and connect items using hand movements. The update also includes a refreshed interface, expanded World Portal features, easier navigation, and improved community and sharing tools.
With Hand Tracking, PatchWorld aims to maximize immersion and natural, playful interactions. Users can now create collaborative playlists of Worlds, find other players and multiplayer Worlds more easily, and Like and share worlds. An improved suggestion algorithm helps recommend new Worlds to discover. Additionally, a new 3D grid helps align objects when world-building, and users can add gravity and other physics behaviors using the new Make Physical Block.
PatchWorld has been committed to maximizing the capabilities of the Meta Oculus Rift, and this update continues that commitment. The latest free PatchWorld update builds on a rapid upgrade cadence, with recent updates adding support for ReadyPlayerMe avatars, integration with popular music production tool Ableton Live, a Community Hub with weekly features and events, and expanded Multiplayer Sync for jamming with others.
PatchXR, the Swiss studio behind PatchWorld, has years of experience in the creative and VR spaces and has been working on the bespoke Patch engine and PatchWorld tools since 2020. The studio was co-founded by Mélodie Mousset, an award-winning VR artist, technologist and musician Gad Hinkis, and Eduardo Fouilloux, a ground-breaking music software developer.
PatchWorld with Hand Tracking is available now as a free update for existing users on the Meta Quest Store. Users can sign up to Discord for tips, community, and exclusive access to the PatchMaker beta for advanced access to powerful creation tools. The sale price for PatchWorld is $13.99, a savings of over 50% off the regular price of $29.99, until January 6, 2025.
