Discussing the new update with some friends and of course... my mind went... What cursed new items could be added?

A scout-like sash that has all your VRC badges on it.

The VRChat Open Beta has added a "View mutuals" button on profiles small and large. It shows a combined number of mutual friends and groups, with lists of both on further drop downs.

Samhain, a festival of seasonal change + embracing our connection to the blurring of lines between our world and the past.

Cathedral of Witches expressed this through dance (@vrdance.bsky.social), music (@hexeexe.bsky.social/ @fangsvr.bsky.social), live poetry + meditation (@ladybugvr.bsky.social)

The new VRChat 3.9.1 SDK beta has introduced PhysBones, Contacts and VRC Constraints to worlds with Udon API support.

I am beyond excited to see what the minds of the artist community comes up with. Worlds are about to take a leap forward in so many ways!

Video example of the face/eye tracking + mic from @nanochip.me:

-Lenses/mOLED/res fantastic
-Mic good except for it's a bit quiet
-Tongue tracking added to AndroidXR recently but not in yet
-FoV similar to QPro
-Comfort biggest downside, similar/worse than default QPro
-Strap not easily modifiable

I don't think that port will support power/charging either.

You might be able to unplug the provided battery and use your own with that cable.

There's a "hidden" USB-C data port on the right side to transfer music/etc but I don't think it will support PCVR wired capabilities. Maybe someone will figure out a way? idk

Pretty huge VRChat Open Beta update:

Boops are back.

The quick menu UI has changed.

The Launchpad is replaced with the "Live Now" tab with current events happening in your calendar, friend/group locations and upcoming events.

Warp Effects (essentially enter/exit animations)

There are now "companions" in the VRChat Store; two companions, Kath and Treats! They follow you around, you can give them pets and you can collect candy from them for the Spookality quest!

There's also stickers, a portal skin and animated emoji~

The newest @vrchat.com Open Beta has added a new Shop/Marketplace tab in the menu.

Its starting with an "B3-7A" open beta portal skin and a free sticker pack from last years Spookality.

You can also now gift avatars or anything else in the new marketplace.

The @transacademy.bsky.social celebrated it's 3rd anniversary last night with its brand new world created by @rio-grande.bsky.social with live music and great DJ sets. It's so optimized, even with 100 folks, it ran so well!

Appreciate everyone who has made it the wonderful community it is today! 💜

We lost a member of our VR community over the weekend. My best friend, @okamis.bsky.social, passed away peacefully.

They loved helping as many people as they could; A kinder heart I've never known.

Rest easy, I love you ❤️

If you would like to send a message to their family, please contact me.
