I found very interesting that they are trying to create full-body VR content for the Oculus Quest. I have instead tried another demo for Oculus Quest called Anamika, where you impersonate a four-armed Indian goddess. They showcased a series of 360 videos shot by them and that could be enjoyed through an Oculus Go. VR Pianist.
