VR2Gather

Unity Package for Immersive Social VR

VR2Gather is a Unity package to allow creating immersive social VR applications in Unity. Participants in a VR2Gather-based experience can be represented as live volumetric video, and see themselves as they are captured live, thereby allowing more realistic social interaction than in avatar-only based systems.

VR2Gather experiences do not rely on a central cloud-based game engine. Each participant runs a local copy of the application, and communication and synchronization is handled through a central experience-agnostic Orchestrator that handles forwarding of control messages, point cloud streams and conversational audio between the participants.

VR2Gather is a descendent from VRTApplication created in the VRTogether project, and further developed in the Mediascape XR and Transmixr projects. Current development is primarily done by the DIS group at CWI.
