We’re excited to announce today that we’ve released Dream 1.0, bringing Dream out from Early Access on both Steam and Oculus! This update introduces new environments, features, and numerous improvements.

Dream 1.0 is now available for free on Oculus or Steam.

With the 1.0 update we’ve introduced two new environments that you can choose for your Dream Team. We still have the good ol’ cave based on Hamilton Pools, which is a semi-indoor/outdoor environment. We’ve added a fully outdoor canyon environment inspired by Horseshoe Bend, as well as a fully indoor environment for those who want more of a conference room vibe.

You can either choose the environment of your choice when you sign up for Dream, or if you can always change the environment in your Team page at dreamos.com.

This update also introduces a great new feature that now allows users to point at the shared screen with a marker visible to anyone in the session. We spent a lot of time getting this right as to avoid the feeling of a laser pointer or relying on awkward mechanisms. All you have to do is point at the screen, and a combination of hysteresis and momentum curves are employed to trigger the highlight on the screen. The color of the marker will match your user label that others see.

Finally, the version 1.0 update includes a number of significant improvements to performance, memory consumption and networking robustness and stability. Most notably, networking has been made significantly more robust and connecting with others in Dream is substantially more consistent in complex network routing scenarios (for example, when dealing with corporate networks). If you’ve previously had issues with Dream in connecting with others, give it another shot as we’ve resolved many of these problems.

Our team is extremely proud to put out this version 1.0f release as a product that we stand behind. We hope that you all enjoy the new environments, and find value in the new features and improvements!
