The interaction system in VRChat has been completely revamped. Both Oculus and Vive users will find new and improved ways of interacting with the world around them.

Using the Xbox controller, Rift users can now pickup, equip, throw, and manipulate objects. They can do everything Vive users can!

Vive interaction has been tweaked to feel a lot better. Pickup and equip are two different actions and physics feel great too!

Best of all, any interactable item in a world will be highlighted for easy visibility. If it highlights, you can do something with it!

Bowling

Get ready to Rock’n Bowl. Set in a retro style bowling alley, Rock’n Bowl is a rocking multiplayer VR experience. Challenge your friends to a game of bowling while listening to classic tunes on the Jukebox.

Feeling a bit hungry, or thirsty? An unlimited amount of goodies can be found to quench your hunger. The best part about being in VR is that you can never over eat!

Feel free to pig out at the snack area

You can find Rock’n Bowl by installing VRChat and then clicking here. To commemorate the opening of Rock’n Bowl, we will host a special bowling night this Friday the 29th at 9pm EST / 6pm PST.

Sculpt Studio Prototype Space

Unlike VRPill, perhaps you will be able to create great works of art.

Draw together in Sculpt Studio, our newest Vive prototype space. We’re constantly experimenting with prototype worlds to see what works in VR! This prototype works best with hand controllers.

Note: Sculpt Studio is currently a prototype and performance may vary based upon PC setup.

The possibilities are endless!

Sculpt Studio Controls:

Pickup- Grip Button

Drawing- Trigger Button

Selection- Trigger button over shapes on canvas

Tip: Drag and pull in and out to change size of shapes.

Warning: Be sure to hold your canvas away from your paintbrush, or you won’t be able to draw.

Featured Worlds

Greg Miller brought Seinfeld to VRChat earlier this month. This is a fan made project modeled by Greg. You can read more about the Seinfeld room on Greg’s Reddit post and watch a YouTube recording of his appearance on Gunters Universe soon.

Offline Oculus Rift and HTC Vive builds are also available via http://jerrysplacevr.com/.

Avatar Spotlight

Congratulations to AtomJaay on this avatar spotlight with ExampleBot. Atom Jaay built ExampleBot with the intent of showing off “Key Event” possibilities such as objects, sounds, and animations spawned from an avatar. When the project is finished it will be a public avatar and public Unity package to dissect or build on top of. You can download a slew of other avatars on the VRChat Marketplace.

As we get closer to official release, expect the amount of events to grow in VRChat. Here you will find upcoming events. Check the VRChat Event Calendar for more details.
