Description
### Background In December 2021, the community voted to approve a Decentraland DAO [grant](https://governance.decentraland.org/proposal/?id=088fc210-5e26-11ec-8188-4352ce3d30e7) that launched one of the first significant VR efforts to the Decentraland ecosystem. Read the previous grant proposal [here.](https://governance.decentraland.org/proposal/?id=088fc210-5e26-11ec-8188-4352ce3d30e7) That grant proposal covered both the development of Byldr to support creating content for Decentraland as well as a viewer for users to experience Decentraland in VR. That grant proposal specified that the VR viewer was not the primary focus of the grant, and the original intention of the proposed approach was to integrate the viewer with Byldr. However, after starting work on the project, the team quickly realized that Decentraland would better benefit from a separate, open source VR client and that the addition of a VR client would be an enormous benefit for Decentraland. Therefore, the team spent significantly more effort on the VR client portion of that grant than originally planned for and have since received remarkably positive engagement and enthusiasm from the Decentraland community. Under the previous grant, the team was able to successfully port Decentraland to run on PC-based VR devices (SteamVR headsets, Quest via PC link, Windows Mixed Reality, and other PCVR headsets) and began to convert most 2D UI elements and interacts to operate in 3D space within the VR experience. ### Decentraland VR support to run natively on Quest The team spent significant time investigating porting Decentraland VR to run natively on android in order to support devices such as the Quest 2, without the need to connect the headset to a PC. After much investigation and attempts, the team learned that the Decentraland architecture would require significant effort to get the Decentraland kernel (the core component of Decentraland that handles scene state) to run on an Android-based VR headset. The team proposes to tackle this challenge in this grant in order to build a native Quest Decentraland VR client. This will significantly reduce the difficulty and cost of accessing Decentraland VR and make Decentraland a true, portable immersive experience for the masses. ### Continued development of Decentraland VR Decentraland’s in-world interactions are primarily built around PC-based inputs such as keyboard and mouse. While the team has ported many key interactions to work with VR controllers during the previous grant, there are still many in-world elements, UI, and interactions that work only with keyboard/mouse input. The team proposes to continue development on this to bring Decentraland VR up to parity with the desktop/web clients so that VR users can do anything that PC users can do. The team seeks to build upon the previous VR client effort by submitting the current grant proposal, which is fully dedicated to the Decentraland VR client. The team is honored to be considered for a DAO grant for the continued development of Decentraland VR. We are excited to be part of Decentraland’s journey toward making the metaverse a fun, immersive and vibrant economy that increases accessibility and financial opportunities to Decentraland citizens all over the world! We would like to thank everyone in the Decentraland community for your support and the integral part you play in building the XR future for all generations to come.

Hi Everyone - final update on this grant. Our team successfully completed the grant and exceeded what we originally proposed. Please see the November 2022 Grant Report posted to see summary of activities. Thank you all again!
Thank you very much to the entire Decentraland community for your support and passage of this grant! I’m extremely honored and humbled for the overwhelmingly positive support in favor of this grant. Our team is eager to get started on this project. I’ll make a post in the Decentraland discord as well regarding next steps. I’ll be monitoring this forum closely as well for any community questions and to post updates. Thank you!

Hi [Matsumoto](https://forum.decentraland.org/u/Matsumoto), Regarding the delegation, some time ago I decided to reduce the amount of VP of my vote and delegate part of it to many members of this community who answered the [Call for Delegates](https://forum.decentraland.org/t/open-call-for-delegates-apply-now/5840/17). I believe delegation is a good way to give more voice to valuable members of our community. I took the time to review their applications and follow their participation in the government process. I encourage other big holders to do the same.
Yemel#1f49 is behind some of the delegations that are elevating vp power of some several of the high vp Yes votes.   another   another   And who ever this big hitter was in the previous proposal, completely liquidated to only 5 MANA.  I lose confidence when I see things like that.
Watch my video of the VR version working [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9e_6d1qDagA&t](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9e_6d1qDagA&t)
That's a YES. I'd be happy with just my xbox right-stick acting as my mouse and equivalents. . .
Hi @xxx2201138 Regarding the previous DAO grant, the team has been hard at work on both the VR client and the Byldr integration. We have been releasing multiple beta builds of Decentraland VR over the past several weeks/months. We are posting regularly in the Decentraland DAO channel, feel free to follow our progress and try out Decentraland VR. You can join Decentraland's DAO discord here: https://discord.gg/PpNPPW6Xxq Our channel on that discord is #update-existing-vr-and-ar-experience-creator-builder-to-support-decentraland Happy to clarify further or answer any questions. Thank you.
Hi @michi - we are an external agency that is implementing VR support for Decentraland. We are in close contact with the Decentraland foundation team regarding the VR efforts. I'm happy to clarify any additional details as needed.
Hold your horses! 1. As per your previous grant proposal - you promised to have the VR released this May. What happened? (Kindly search for their previous request, it is all there black on white!) 2. Instead you are seeking new grant and competely ignoring previous commitments ? 3. Do you bet on the fact, that we forgot about your previous grant proposal and just trying to get the "funding" again? I want answers! Hence I am very suspicious, it seems like you guys are just buying time on our account. Then what in September, are you gonna act like this proposal never happened and ask for another money again? As it is pretty obvious you have problem with your own roadmaps and deadlines.
I assumed this was a proposal from the Decentraland team continuing the implementation the VR compatibility... Can someone confirm if this is a proposal for an existing partnership or a proposal from an external agency looking to implement VR?
I noticed you are asking for $240k USD but have not spent any of your 1253 Eth Mana on Claiming a Name. When Name Claim?
