Will it ever be possible to have more interactivity inside the VR spaces?

I was curious if there will be more interactivity in the future? As an example, I was playing inside Aech's Basement and there is a retro gaming cabinet in there and I really wanted to be able to play the game. Is anything like that going to be possible?

  What more do you have in mind? :D

  Right now we could do a scenario, for example, where you click on a game board and it teleports you to another experience where you're inside that game and playing it.

  You can create physics and logic games with scoreboards and other dynamic elements.

  We don't yet support, say, those "MESS/MAME/emulator-in-webpage"-type things.

  But there is a LOT of interactivity currently coming to Sansar.

  https://help.sansar.com/hc/en-us/articles/360001176226-Simple-Scripts-user-guide for example which even a non-scripter can setup.

  Want a fun demo for yourself? Check out https://atlas.sansar.com/experiences/galen/reflex4-workshop

  Also, the mini-games in https://atlas.sansar.com/experiences/greenwall/greenwall-vr

  Others please chime in here with your fave examples to give Vyle80r a taste of what is possible.

  This is great. I had no idea this was possible. It seems that the perhaps the creator(s) of the rooms I've been in maybe didn't know the scripting involved to make the minigames playable. I'd love to experience some more rooms like this demo.

  No love...

  Go check out my bowling alley and paintball area for some of the more advanced scripting in gaming.

  Right now Vyle80r there is only a limited API to use, so things take way longer to make as we have to do a lot of workarounds for some basic things.

  This is really great. I love bowling. I'm not a programmer myself but I understand what you are saying. The API will become more robust with time. You have all pointed out examples of things I wasn't aware could be done but this was exactly what I was asking for with this post. I'm really looking forward to seeing the capabilities with the passing of time.
