Let's Hang Out in Virtual Reality in Realtime!
If you ever want to have a meeting in Virtual Reality, let's hang out in Hang Out VR! I'm always looking for an excuse to hang out in VR. Audio quality is great and the environments are fun. I'm looking forward to seeing you in VR!
Hangout VR - By Eric David Smith
Game Play
There are several destinations to Hang Out in. You and your friends can hang out in an Office for a business meeting. A Night Club for a date night and dancing. A Coffee Shop for the early birds. A Nature Park for the real birds. A Game Room for the pool, ping pong, weapons, air hockey table, flying, and much more. A Four Screen Movie Theater for some additional entertainment. A Linguistics Room to learn new languages from other people throughout the world. And so much more!
