California based development studio MyDream Interactive have announced that they are launching a new virtual reality (VR) product, a VR Toolbox that allows the user to bring gaming, social media and video into a single VR space.
The toolbox uses the hand controllers to control what MyDream describe as a ‘360 VR desktop and Room Simulator’. The product offers the following features:
- Create massive screens to play, entertain and operate a VR Desktop with native Twitch and 360 Youtube.
- Create and personalize the VR space with built-in props and rooms, drag-and-drop functionality, and personal images to easily decorate the environment.
- Play local files or YouTube360 in 4K with one click to experience 360-degree video
- Engage Focus Mode to boost immersion and readability, easily switching between screens.
- Blended Reality offers seamless real-world observation in the VR experiences (Vive only). Additional webcam screens provide area awareness.
- Use VR Toolbox to play most legacy FPS videogames
The VR Toolbox is currently available on Steam for $13.99 (USD). A free, watermarked version is set to become available from March 3rd.
MyDream Interactive are demonstrating their product at GDC this week, in booth PL4332 Moscone Centre, North Hall.
