VRChat

User-driven social platform for virtual reality

About

VRChat provides a platform for users to create, share, and engage in virtual reality (VR) environments. Users can access the platform without needing a VR headset, making it more accessible to a broader audience. The platform emphasizes user-generated content, allowing individuals to design their own VR worlds and avatars using a Unity SDK (Software Development Kit). This approach fosters a strong community and encourages ongoing participation. Key features include full-body avatars with lip sync and eye tracking, 3-D spatialized audio, and various games and activities that enhance interactivity. VRChat operates on a freemium model, offering basic access for free while charging for premium features such as exclusive worlds and priority server access. The goal of VRChat is to create an immersive social experience that brings people together in a virtual space.
