"What if I could make an app that could change an entire play area into a horror game?"
That's what David Montecalvo, Founder and President of VirtualGo LLC asked himself when he saw the black and white pass-through on the Meta Quest 2, inspiring him to create Hauntify, one of Quest 2's earliest mixed reality games that combined the headset's new experimental pass through with a ghostly room-scale experience - available now for Quest 3 on Sidequest and App Lab.
On this spookacular episode of Zero to Start special guest David Montecalvo unlocks the secrets to playing Hauntify, his vision for developing mixed reality apps and what he's learned along the way of making games like Escape Lava Mine (Rift), FPS Enhanced Reality (Quest 2, 3), Mixed Reality Animal Escape and more.
