Welcome to our revamped weekly series, where we revisit the most significant VR and XR stories we initially overlooked, bringing you the latest updates and insights from the world of immersive technology.
As regular readers of UploadVR, you may wonder why we’ve transitioned away from our traditional ICYMI format, which has been a staple on our platform for over a year. As we’ve revitalized our weekly newsletter this quarter, it brings together the top stories directly to your inbox while maintaining links to our comprehensive list of latest articles.
Despite our initial oversight, we were determined to preserve the value of aggregating smaller incremental updates. To efficiently produce high-quality games in today’s fast-paced VR industry, smaller teams must adopt a more collaborative approach by leveraging game engines that facilitate simultaneous development across multiple titles, thereby allowing more developers to share the spotlight and showcase their creativity. So, we’ve broken down that entire section into bite-sized “XR Information Bites”.
Here are this week’s 5 greatest XR information stories that we initially overlooked:
