Description
Welcome to VRChat - a virtual world filled with limitless possibilities. Spend your afternoon dogfighting in fighter jets, before winding down in a treehouse that exists floating in a nebula. Make a new best friend while exploring a haunted mansion, right before playing a hand of cards with a robot, alien, and eight-foot tall wolf. In VRChat, there are hundreds of thousands of worlds, millions of avatars - all created by the users. No matter what you’re into, there’s a space in VRChat for you. And if there isn’t, we’ll give you the tools to make your dream a reality. While not required to join in on the fun, VRChat was built to take advantage of VR headsets in many unique ways. That means avatars that flow with your movement, and systems that work alongside various hardware platforms to provide full-body tracking, finger tracking, and much, much more. Even if you’re jumping in on your phone or tablet, you’ll get to experience the magic of hanging out with people that feel like they’re really there - not just some character on a screen! Use the companion app to keep up with your VRChat friends, or launch into a VRChat world to meet new friends right from your iOS device! There’
