From Trombone Champ to fantasy VR archery, the latest XR News Round-Up is live with a few more news stories.
February’s kicked off on a busy note. Nearly two dozen developers spoke to UploadVR about concerns with the Quest Store, which Meta later addressed. nDreams merged two studios into one; a leaked memo emerged from Meta CTO Andrew Bosworth, and Meta’s VP of VR/MR, Mark Rabkin, is leaving the company next month. We also went hands-on with the ROTO VR Explorer Chair and reviewed COLD VR.
