Hello all!

This is JesV, co-founder of VoyagerVR. Over the last month we've been working on more updates for Stonehenge VR and will be releasing them within the coming weeks. In it, we've added a tutorial mode for the SANDBOX tools. After watching several streamers go through the SANDBOX, we realized that it was a challenge for users to build and create to the SANDBOX's full potential without one. We're excited to see how this helps.

Doing a tutorial for SANDBOX was always on the agenda, but since our team is so small, there was an order we had to develop in. The tutorial will show users step by step on how to change the sun and weather effects, build and resize stones, fly the spaceship, destruction mode and more!

Our goal with SANDBOX mode is to provide a fun learning experience, and show users what VR is capable of. We want players to explore and let their creativity run wild while in SANDBOX, and we truly feel this tutorial can provide fun guidance on how to unlock that potential.

We've also added some new screenshots in the store page carousel that were taken with the NVIDIA Ansel plugin. Using the plugin is super fun way to capture a perfect shot that players can direct, design and setup themselves in a matter of minutes.

Lastly, we've had some Youtube and Twitch streamers film themselves playing with Stonehenge VR and SANDBOX mode, and we wanted to share their reactions with you. You can find them in the links below.

As always, we will be doing daily updates on all our social media. For those interested, more information can be found on our website:

Thank you everyone for your continued interest and support!

Stonehenge VR SANDBOX - Update #1 Video

Hi Everyone,

This is Christian, the developer of Stonehenge VR.

One of the feature requests we've received over and over from the very beginning has been the ability to control the exact time of day and angle of the sun during the experience. I'm excited to share that we've added that feature and it turned out even cooler than we thought. Also keep in mind that these new effects can be used in your own SANDBOX creations.

In addition to that, the other new feature I'm really excited about is the inclusion of the Nvidia Ansel plugin. This allows you to export very high res 360 stereoscopic photographs that can be view on Facebook and mobile VR devices. What's the point of making something if you can't share with people who don't own VR headsets?

Another new addition is the teleport node spawn. You can now create teleport nodes anywhere in the level you like, which will allow you to traverse any distance.

Finally, we fixed the key bindings for the Oculus Touch controllers, so people with Rift's should be able to use the whole application now. If anyone runs into any issues, let us know.

For Microsoft Mixed Reality headset owners, we've tested the new headsets using the beta SteamVR plugin and all of the controls function as they should. As soon as Microsoft officially releases the plugin, all MMR headset owners will be able to enjoy the Stonehenge VR SANDBOX.

Let us know what you think of the new update!
