A Virtual World That’s Only Limited By Our Imagination
Users can enter and interact inside the virtual space alone, or with friends, family or colleagues.
The function of the Altspace virtual space is potentially unlimited, entertainment and work-related activities and task performances are just a tip of the iceberg of what Altspace could offer to its users!
People around the world will no longer be bounded by their physical location and time zone difference. Friends, family, colleagues or even strangers from different parts of the world can log into Altspace to meetup, play, mingle, work, shop and interact!
Imagine what you can do inside Altsapce! You can enjoy sport events with friends, play virtual games in team, have a virtual office meeting, enter the virtual world to write a love letter for your girlfriend / boyfriend on VR headset and a virtual keyword ( some personal privacy for your cute little romance! ) Along with a hand motion sensor and tracking device to interact with the keyboard.
Users will interact in Altspace using their own customized avatars. Body and motion will be simulated using motion sensor. There are several ultra-sensitive and precise motion sensors available today that would do the job.
However, from Altspace’s video demos, we haven’t notice any sign of facial gesture simulation being supported or presented. It would be more emotional and addictive user-experience if facial expression could be simulated and supported in the future update.
The Altspace beta invite is currently open!
