Today we achieved a huge milestone for this project: we made it out of early access!

Our goal from the start was to see if we can create an outdoor nature inspired environment and make it immersive enough so it feels like a real world. Turns out that visiting nature in VR has a similar relaxing effect compared to the real thing so if you need a quick escape from the real world: The Grand Canyon VR Experience is waiting for you!

A big shout-out to our team of awesome developers who did an amazing job creating this unique experience and will continue to maintain and improve this world for you all to enjoy. I also want to thank the community members who gave us tons of valuable feedback during our early access phase, this was tremendously helpful for us!

• NEW: Some new animals where spotted in the Canyon, can you find them all?
  
• various environment tweaks.
  
• added more detail to the world.
  
• faster loading times.
  
• various small bug fixes.

Hi everyone! We just released a new patch with plenty of bug fixes and some new features!


We finally were able to identify the bug that is causing the water to flicker under certain angles. It turns out it is an issue deep inside the VR rendering pipeline of Unreal Engine. Epic is working on a fix for us so as soon as they release it we'll issue a hot fix. In the meantime you can cycle between transparent / opaque water with “pagedown”.

• NEW: Our first of many physics props is enabled => you can now throw, drag, push, move & hurl some small rocks around in the world.
  
• NEW: HRTF fly, you can't see it, but boy you sure can hear it!
  
• NEW: The pier : ideal for hopping on and off the paddle board!
  
• NEW:Self-driving kayak tours is now also available for Vive users (sit down on the floor in front of a fan for maximum immersion!).
  
• NEW: Oculus users can now also teleport to various destinations in the world.
  
• various environment tweaks.
  
• you should now find a "chill area" at most hotspots that line up with a typical desk chair height -> move your real life chair into position so it lines up with a virtual rock, chair, pier. Take a seat and let the chilling commence...
  
• lots of new sounds!
  
• We tweaked the paddling physics based on your feedback.
  
• F key displays frame-rate .
  
• various small bug fixes.
