New Update: ANT+ Support for HRMs, Automatic Playspace Scaling, ...

Dear players!

We’ve just released our "Flatten the Curve" update for PowerBeatsVR, which makes your home workouts even more convenient:

You can now use ANT+ heart rate monitors as well to track your heart rate in-game. We removed the two distinct playspace sizes and player sizes and implemented automatic playspace scaling based on your chaperone/boundary setting and fine-adjustable player height. And we finally added FLAC support besides OGG, WAV, and MP3 to the automatic beatmap generator.

Here is a full list of changes:

New Features:

• ANT+ support for heart rate monitors
• Automatic playspace scaling based on chaperone/boundary settings
• Fine adjustable player height
• FLAC music support for the automatic beatmap generator
• Manual controller alignment option

Bugfixes:

• Occurring crashes when connecting to Bluetooth HRMs fixed

Menu:

Now it’s time for the next step: Adding playlists for a stamina mode!
