Things (still) to Note:

• Both VR and Desktop do not have audio right now. We are finalizing some things but that will be coming in a later build
• Each release build will expire after 60 days. We will have roughly monthly releases so if the build expires please download the latest one. The app will still be changing fast so it will be good to use the latest build anyway.
• If you have a VR headset, transitioning between desktop and VR should be seamless (just put on your headset!). If you don’t have a VR headset, desktop works by itself.
• If you use a stylus/tablet, please let us know what you think! We are refining that UX.
• We currently import and export USD, FBX, OBJ. More formats coming!
