AltpsaceVR allows users to put on their HMD and meet up with others online. Here they can enjoy multiplayer games together and even visiting events or share videos from YouTube, Twitch and Periscope. A web browser is also included. Crucially, the software is also heading to the Oculus Rift and HTC Vive, meaning people will be able to connect across a range of HMDs. Take note, however, that the app is not currently compatible with the original version of the Gear VR, which runs with the Galaxy Note 4 smartphone. That said, it does support all of Samsung’s 2015 handsets.
Sounds silly, perhaps?

AltSpaceVR alone is going to lead to some Very Big Things.
And probably kill Twitter in the process.
