We are excited to announce the launch of our groundbreaking VR headset, Bigscreen Beyond! The world’s smallest VR headset, weighing just 127 grams. Beyond has an unprecedented form factor that is 6X lighter than competing VR devices. Beyond features ultra-high resolution OLED displays, custom pancake optics, and tethers to a PC for ultimate VR immersion. Each device is custom-built to the shape of your face, providing unparalleled comfort for long-duration VR experiences.

Combined with advanced pancake optics, Beyond achieves 2-3X greater visual fidelity than other VR headsets.

Audio streaming fixes for Windows 11 + Compact Tablet feature

This release addresses issues with Windows 11 not routing processes to the Bigscreen Audio Stream driver. On Windows 11, using the "Refresh Audio" option should now route app audio to Bigscreen for desktop streaming.

Also includes:
- New feature: Compact Tablet - located in the visual settings which downsizes the Bigscreen menu.
- Address dynamic range of desktop streams so PCVR users viewing a host's desktop should see true black colors.
- Changes control strip positioning to improve ergonomics of the Bigscreen tablet menu.
- Excludes running Virtual Desktop processes from being routed to the Bigscreen audio driver. Fixes problems with the Bigscreen app going mute while streaming SteamVR to Quest devices.

Introducing our NEW Avatars: Avatar 2.0

[h2] We're thrilled to announce the launch of our brand new Avatar 2.0 system. [/h2]

We have spent the past few years completely redesigning our avatars from scratch. This involved rethinking their visuals and redesigning and rebuilding the entire avatar system from the ground up.

  • 🤖Our new avatar system comes with several new features:
    Much lower system requirements, which means more avatars can be rendered in a single space, including on mobile VR headsets like the Quest
  • 💪Arms with IK motion
  • 🦒Necks that give your avatar more realistic movement
  • 🎀 A much more robust accessories system for more granular customization
  • 🌈 We've also expanded our color palette for customization options to include a wider range of skin colors, body types, hairstyles, gender-agnostic outfits, and facial features.🤘🏻🤘🏼🤘🏽🤘🏾🤘🏿🤘




One of the primary pillars of the new avatar system is expandability.
After the initial launch, we will provide regular updates and additions to the library of customization options. This includes events, tie-ins, chase items, and even entirely new categories of options and features!
