Alloverse? VR Jam?

Alloverse is an open source ecosystem for collaboration in VR. It provides access to the metaverse through a VR headset or desktop app and empowers anyone to create their own functional 3D apps to use inside.

The VR Jam is a 24-hour hackathon where teams and individuals are invited to design and build their own virtual app using Alloverse's API (and support from the Alloverse team). No headset required!

Toward the end of the event,  judges pick three favourite apps (in no particular order), and the authoring teams are each awarded with a fantastic prize: An Oculus Quest 2 VR headset! 

Work & Joy?

The core idea of the theme is born out of one of Alloverse's own values: having fun at work. Just because something pays the bills, it shouldn't have to mean it's a stressful chore. Obviously, we want to stay productive - but not at the cost of physical and mental health. And that's where "work & joy" comes into play!

We can't wait to see what "work & joy" means for you! Following are some examples that may serve as inspiration:

  • A way to collaborate virtually on a project.
  • A simple social game for teambuilding purposes - or a brain-boosting physical exercise break!
  • A relaxing environment for remote water cooler conversations.

In a nutshell...

  • The event will be taking place online from ~17:00 Saturday to ~17:00 Sunday, June 5-6. All times are in CET.
  • No previous experience with VR required - ideally, we want people with all kinds of skill sets- and levels.
  • We currently support coding apps in C, C#, Swift or lua. C# or lua is strongly suggested, however. :)
  • After signing up, join the #VR-Jam channel of our Discord. It's where all communication will take place, before and during the event.
