Meta featured my app! 🚀 yesterday, 1000s of people tried a BBC Micro for the very first time, over 40 years after its release 🕹 👾

The fact an Arm CPU is reanimating its 8-bit ancestor in mixed-reality simulation is quite apt, too #webXR #MetaQuest #retrogaming #retrocomputing

I say app… it is literally just a free #webxr website https://xr.bbcmic.ro

Immersive virtual reality simulation of the BBC Micro in WebXR by Dominic Pajak.

@bbcmicrobot How do you get the keyboard to work? PS my original BBC micro, bought in 1982, is sat next to me!

@cyberspice do you have a meta quest and trying to play? Or just asking in general

@bbcmicrobot Ah I didn’t know it needed one. I fired up the URL in my web browser.

@cyberspice try https://virtual.bbcmic.ro instead, although i should really merge them

Interactive 3D simulation of the BBC Micro

@bbcmicrobot This is always so awesome :)

@bbcmicrobot looks like fun! Any chance of doing a Commodore 64 someday?
