North Star is a cutting-edge visual showcase for the Meta Quest that demonstrates the stunning visual quality that’s achievable in Virtual Reality. Step into a fantastical world inspired by the age of sail and exploration and become the new deckhand aboard the Polaris, a vessel with a stalwart crew on a daring quest to uncover a mythical and mysterious sunken treasure at Ocean Deep.

Explore this immersive world using dynamic hand gestures and full-body tracking, pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in VR. Interact with your environment and perform the duties of a deckhand; hoist the sails, brave a savage storm and face an unknown danger that lurks beneath the depths. Does your cursed silver hand hold the key to the mysteries that await you at the bottom of the ocean?

North Star is built to demonstrate the power of hand interactions, delivering seamless and intuitive experiences made possible by the latest advancements in VR technology. With stunning visuals that elevate the Quest’s graphical capabilities, this demo is a true showcase of how far the platform can go in delivering an immersive, engaging experience.

This showcase is also available as an open-source project for developers eager to explore the potential of gesture-based control and body tracking in their own VR experiences.

I can't play within my hands go away

Every time I get to the part where they pick you up from the boat, my hands always glitch and I can't move them. And then they're stuck in one spot and I can't see what I'm doing, and they're yelling at me to do something when I can't do it because of my stupid hands worst game. I've ever played in my entire life. I hate this so much. Don't waste your data by downloading it. Go get something else, download something else. That's actually good.

Well worth the experience.

You can't complain for free. It's a strong experience with some cool ideas. The Performance was a bit choppy in places though and since I was trying to record it at the time it actually killed the recording entirely. I forgive bad performance though when recording in stereoscopic 3D. But otherwise... well worth checking out. I'm just curious who's getting paid to make this?

Don't listen to the other comments

The reason this game is so short is because it's a showcase, I think the people getting this game forgot how the early VR game days used to be, like, super hot, it's a showcase of a mechanic that ties time to your velocity, and the game is just as short as this is. That was until so many people started buying it they were able to actually afford to build it up
