Home environments are generally unsuited for skateboarding due to their confined and obstacle-filled nature, but with Skatrix Pro for the Vision Pro, interior spaces are transformed into imaginative and safe arenas for the sport. The Vision Pro skateboarding app from legendary skater Rodney Mullen was recently supported with a 2.0 update and now offers full-room mixed-reality gameplay, a skatepark builder, enhanced hand input gestures and nuanced environment sensing.
“Immersive gameplay transforms the user’s real-world surroundings into a dynamic skatepark environment, allowing for interaction with virtually any object, shape, or terrain,” describes developer Reality Crisis, “This enables players to skate and perform tricks on real elements around them, merging digital game content with physical spaces to create a unique skateboarding experience.”
Thanks to this update, users can immerse themselves in even more realistic skateboard lessons, and all from within the comfort of their own homes.
