I loved this concept when I first saw it back in 2016 in the early VR days. I would prefer the metaverse stays open source and just be another layer to the internet vs a facebook owned private garden. I wonder mixing in AI with the Janas VR interface could help bring new usability. Imagine an AI assistant that can help build your worlds and create interactivity via conversation. Thanks for making it open source so these ideas have a shot.

ive been waiting a really long time for anything about this game

its been 2 years since the last post here

There doesn't seem to be a compatible thing in the app store and I have no idea how to move around in the web version.

Plus, I wanted to look around a personal project I made a while back (from a local server) and for some reason I can't get it quite working there either.

Is there a way to download JanusXR? The links at https://www.janusxr.org/download.html seem to be broken

Hi, I'm Kritika, working as an HCI researcher in Virtual Reality at Weave Lab, IIIT Delhi, India. I'm currently working on introducing interactivity to playback of recordings in virtual environments - which holds a lot of possibilities yet to be explored. I would love to hear your perspective about the concept, your enthusiasm for VR would be really valuable to this research. :)

Please fill this questionnaire. It wouldn't take any more than 15 minutes. https://interactiveplayback.typeform.com/to/LhFORIUn

Hello, I became VERY interested in Janus in July of 2015 and played a bunch, I now have a VR headset and fullbody tracking and am very sad to see almost nobody talks about this game for some reason? I see the community posts and such and see it has been de-listed from steam but I must ask, why? Was it never finished and with James moving on to other projects is it not worth getting into in 2020?

If anyone has info it would be appreciated, I would also like to know if it has support for Valve's HMD the "Index" Thanks.

To the Janus VR community,

I am James, CEO and co-founder of Janus VR.

Dissolution in 2019.

I write to inform the broader community of our intent to dissolve the corporation, Janus VR, Inc., at the end of Q4 2019. It is no longer feasible to maintain our corporation status in Canada and the US given the expenses this will incur each year (as it relates to legal, accounting, patent/IP filings, etc.)

Maintaining existing services.

It's not all sad news. I remain committed to do all I can to maintain our existing services and underlying infrastructure that the community enjoys, such as our default presence server, build servers and our Vesta hosting service. While I would love to see a sub-community emerge around supporting essential Janus services such that it would be self-sufficient, with an appointed group of custodians, it is my intention to take this on as a personal expense in the interim. (Update: check out community project https://janusxr.org/ with more news coming soon!)

Thank you.

I think I speak for everyone on the team when I say we take great pride in what we have built as a result of our interaction with you, our community, over the past five years. A fact some may find surprising is that Janus VR has had hundreds of thousands of unique users since it was created. It is an incredible feeling to have built something that captured such attention and delighted so many people, or at least introduced them to our unique interpretation of the "immersive web" - even if that vision was a little "early", "different" or "ahead of its time". A thank you to our industry partners, who provided us their feedback and support, including allowing distribution of our software client on their platforms. A special thanks to our investors, who provided the means to assemble a team dedicated to taking us from forward-thinking vision to fully-realized immersive web platform.

I have always had a passion for technology, and in more recent years of academic study, became especially passionate about "immersive" technologies, i.e. virtual and augmented reality. My aim from the start was to employ the skills I had developed in order to make a unique, positive contribution in this space. VR/AR is no longer the fledgling industry it once was five to ten years ago. I am happy to see it succeeding, with the largest tech companies taking active interest and moving it forward. My hope is that, at least in some small way, Janus VR has done the same.

To our investors, industry partners, employees, contractors, and everyone in our community - thank you all for making it possible.

will there be working port of janus vr on the quest??

Hi,

I'm a business student at full sail University in winter park Florida and me and my team we are doing a business study about VR gaming for our final project in a class that we have to do a Final presentation by December and we need your help to gather data.

It would be awesome if you can take part in this survey!

I would really appreciate it!
