The VR Challenge#1 Viewing Party was held simultaneously online and at the Fukuoka City Engineer Café!

The Viewing Party is a party for everyone to enjoy the VR work submitted to the VR Challenge!

Work introduction and workshop

We gave a brief introduction to the judges and reviewed VR entries for the VR Challenge#1.

In this edition of the Viewing Party, we showed how to load apps on the Quest 2, and run WebXR with Oculus Developer Hub.

A viewing party together!

We casted Quest 2 to the screen and everyone got to spectate the VR creations!

The participants who came to the Engineer Café got to enjoy the VR creations with Quest 2!
