Metaverse won't be just about playing games, collaborating, or hanging out with your friend. Wellness and fitness will be another critical use case for the emerging VR/AR platforms and the ones that are already here.

We talked with Dilan Shah, Co-Founder & CEO of YUR, a company developing a set of tools for fitness tracking in VR and beyond. Dilan shares his thoughts about "making fitness a game" and the future of working out in VR and the metaverse.

Developing a VR app or game is one thing, but getting it out to the users is another whole story. Luckily, platforms like SideQuest make it easy for up-and-coming developers to release their games and get feedback from first users. Early access is a crucial step in developing a successful product, and SideQuest had many of them, including Pavlov: Shack, Touring Karts, Hyper Dash, and Gorilla Tag.

We had a chat with SideQuest COO & Co-Founder Orla Harris. We covered SideQuest's passion for the developer community and discussed how they support it now and what plans they have for the future. We also talked about the role of side-loading for VR platforms and the latest trends on the SideQuest store.

The last few years have been significant for the VR industry. There has been a lot of new, more affordable and accessible hardware bringing virtual reality to the masses. Things vastly improved on the software side too. Platforms like Steam VR and Meta Quest are gaining popularity among players and developers who are creating more content and experiences for VR than ever before.

We invited Ryan Feldman to tell us more about the early days of developing for VR, the ups and downs of working with XR platforms, and the role of productivity tools in the metaverse. Ryan is a Senior Unity Developer & XR Specialist at Immersed, the company behind a VR productivity tool that lets you use up to 5 virtual screens, focus on your work, or collaborate with your team.
