We won the Meta Horizon Developer Competition! Out of over 2,900 participants we won Best Implementation of Passthrough Camera Access with AI for our application Language IRL.

In one month we built a language learning app that turns the world around you into your own private lesson. It features an augmented reality AI tutor that teaches you and then quizzes you in either Spanish, German, or French.

This was an awesome way to end the year. Looking forward to a powerful 2026!

Monkey Tower is one of the first VR games fully programmed to shock players using the OWO Skin haptic suit. Watch lead programmer Riko "Pearl Grey" as they streamed themselves trying to beat it. The results were electrifying to say the least.

🎮 Lead developer Pearl Grey (they/them) made it possible for Monkey Tower VR to work with the OWO Haptic Shock Suit—and they’re testing it out LIVE today on YouTube! ⚡🐒 With the suit, you can literally feel what your monkey feels—every zap, bounce, shock, and victory. The OWO suit uses real electrical pulses for next-level immersive feedback. 👀

💬 — if you love what you see, maybe a collab is in our future 😉
