‘Transcend Social’ Teaser Trailer Drops Ahead of Meta Quest Launch
A new kind of virtual reality hangout is about to land, and itโs bringing a fresh twist to how we connect in VR. Imagine a place where you can chill with friends, build whatever pops into your head, and shape the space around you without being stuck with someone elseโs design. Thatโs the vibe ContinuumXR is going for with their latest project, cooked up alongside Lunar Vision Productions.
This isnโt about rigid rules or pre-made templates. Itโs a social VR setup where creativity runs the show, and itโs hitting Meta Quest 3 and 3S later this year. Weโre talking a launch date of May 22, 2025, and itโs already stirring up chatter with an early access peek available now. The teaser trailer just dropped, giving us a taste of whatโs coming, and itโs looking like a game-changer for anyone whoโs into VR socializing.
Transcend Social lets you turn your wildest ideas into 3D objects on the spot. Type out something like a glowing neon tiger or a floating pizza palace, and boom, itโs there in front of you. You can plop these creations anywhere, save them for later, or show them off to your crew.
The platform starts you off with six slick environmentsโthink snowy lodges, cyberpunk dance floors, or chill beachesโand you can tweak them however you want. Up to 10 friends can jump in per session, messing around with decorations, chatting, or even kicking back to watch YouTube together on a portable browser.
The whole thingโs built from the ground up for Meta Quest 3 and 3S, so itโs smooth and easy to dive into, whether youโre sitting, standing, or pacing around. You can cruise through spaces in hover chairs or sports cars instead of trudging on foot, and thereโs casual stuff to do like tossing darts or stacking rocks. Every space you deck out can be saved, shared, and even voted on to climb a community leaderboard of the coolest setups.
Itโs free to jump in and explore, with a couple of item creations per session and a daily freebie tossed your way. Want the full deal? A $5.99 monthly subscription unlocks unlimited crafting, extra tools, and more save slots. The musicโs a mix of laid-back jazz, hip hop beats, and ambient tracks that match each vibe, while little touchesโlike objects popping out of a glowing fabricatorโadd some flair.
Daniel Moore from Lunar Vision Productions summed it up, saying, โSay what you want, see it appear, and share it with your friendsโthatโs what this is all about.โ Itโs not a game with a rulebook, but a spot to hang out and let your imagination loose. Theyโve built it in Unity, tossing in experimental support for Meta Avatars and hand tracking to keep things intuitive.
With a launch just over a month away, Transcend Social is shaping up to be the next big thing for VR fans who want more than just a static chatroom.
