Cyan decided on a few gestures for supporting movement around the island with both teleport and smooth locomotion via hand tracking. You just point where you want to go.<\/p>\n<p>The update also adds in-game screenshots to take notes, and while there\u2019s no gesture to take those screenshots with hand tracking \u201cwe do hope to bring that to Myst soon,\u201d Gamiel said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe dialed in most, if not all of the gestures to be very comfortable to use for extended periods of time,\u201d Gamiel told UploadVR. \u201cAnd I\u2019m talking about like at least an hour or two of playtime, because people like get lost in Myst.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Gamiel joined our virtual studio to talk about the update and you can check it out in the 10-minute video embedded below. We discussed the challenges of hand tracking on current VR hardware, the forthcoming <a href=\"https:\/\/uploadvr.com\/myst-island-multiplayer-walkabout\/\">Myst DLC course coming<\/a> to Walkabout Mini Golf, Myst\u2019s legacy across generations and what\u2019s next for Cyan.<\/p>\n<div class=\"flex-video widescreen youtube\">[embedded content]<\/div>\n<p>\u201cWe are hoping to do a director\u2019s commentary update where we bring in some of the original developers on Myst,\u201d Gamiel said. \u201cYou can experience that as you play Myst as well. And additionally, something that\u2019s been highly requested for a long time from people with this new version of Myst has been \u2018where\u2019s node mode. I want to play Myst as if it was like the classic edition where I point and click to exactly the node I want to go to.\u2019 We\u2019re hoping to include that as well in a future update, so this is by no means the end of updates for Myst.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1612163,"template":"","meta":{"_eb_attr":"","type":"","auto_type":false,"post":"","stream":"","stream_url":"","waveform_data":[],"duration":0,"start":0,"end":0,"bpm":0,"downloadable":false,"download_url":"","purchase_title":"","purchase_url":"","post-count-all":0,"like_count":0,"download_count":0,"editor_note":"","copyright":"","captions":[],"sources":[]},"genre":[10309],"station_tag":[15339,3884,15321,15324,14557,15322,15323,15333,8954,15330,11191,15329,15332,7457,14558,8453,9642,14556,15331,15325,15326,15823,15346,4550,15327,15328,4551,15816,14555],"artist":[11195],"mood":[],"activity":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/platodata.io\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/station\/1612161"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/platodata.io\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/station"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/platodata.io\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/station"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/platodata.io\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/platodata.io\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1612163"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/platodata.io\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1612161"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"genre","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/platodata.io\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/genre?post=1612161"},{"taxonomy":"station_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/platodata.io\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/station_tag?post=1612161"},{"taxonomy":"artist","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/platodata.io\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/artist?post=1612161"},{"taxonomy":"mood","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/platodata.io\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/mood?post=1612161"},{"taxonomy":"activity","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/platodata.io\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/activity?post=1612161"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
