Maestro (2024) , the VR rhythm game from indie studio Double Jack , today released a new DLC pack that includes tracks from Peter Jackson’s The Lord of the Rings and HBO’s Game of Thrones, as well as some classical favorites. Released on Quest, Pico and PC VR headsets last year, Maestro lets you step up to the podium and don the coattails of a true orchestra conductor, letting you play via hand-tracking or motion controllers to command the orchestra in a packed opera house.

Is Quest’s hand-tracking good enough for a rhythm game, which genuinely needs low latency and precise input? After playing the early access version of BEATABLE , which gets you tapping, clapping and snapping to the beat, XR Game’s latest entry is definitely good enough for casual gameplay, although it left me feeling conflicted whether it was actually precise and sticky enough for now.

Quest v76 adds Live Captions for any app, including VR, and no longer lets you uninstall Horizon Worlds. As with all Meta Horizon OS updates, v76 will "roll out" gradually, so it may take a few days or even weeks for your headset to get the v76 update. Further, Meta rolls out some features separately to the main update itself, so even having the v76 update doesn't guarantee having everything listed here yet.

To avoid awkward and sometimes disastrous learning content, instructional designers must use authentic translation in the right context to get optimal results. For example, even a simple phrase like “got milk” translates to “are you lactating” in Mexico. Can you imagine what a straight translation might do to your course? With over 317 million people in the US and over 6.7 billion potential customers in the world, personalizing training seems logical.

BEATABLE presents an intriguing mixed reality rhythm game with hand tracking controls, and it's out now in early access on Quest. Haptic feedback is an essential component to building immersion. You may not always notice its often subtle presence, yet you'll certainly register when it's not there. Arken Age is a great recent example where every motion feels responsive, but how do you achieve that with controller-free gameplay?

Crystal Commanders, a new mixed reality RTS game launching today on the Quest platform by DB Creations, aims to change that with a new approach to immersive strategy. 0:00 / 0:35 1
