Somnium Space 3.0.4: A Major Leap Toward Immersive Excellence

Somnium Space just got another serious upgrade as they officially rolled out Version 3.0.4. As with any Somnium upgrade it’s packed with powerful enhancements, essential fixes, and features that push the boundaries of what’s possible in virtual reality.

From the introduction of a dedicated Desktop Control App to major upgrades in tipping, world navigation, and creator tools – this update is a game-changer.

Tip Jar revisited: USD Payments Are Here

A major highlight of this update is the enhanced Tip Jar, which now supports standard debit and credit card payments via Stripe. Simply connect your card through your profile, and you’re ready to go. Users now have two options: tipping with Somnium Cubes (Somnium’s native currency) carries a 5% platform fee, while tips via Stripe come with a 10% fee. Compared to platforms like VRChat, Horizon Worlds, or Roblox, these are among the lowest fees in the industry – meaning creators keep 90% to 95% of their earnings. It’s a game-changing step forward for anyone looking to monetize their content, performances, or services in Somnium Space.

Desktop Control App

Boost your productivity and streamline your virtual workflow – the brand-new Desktop Control App is here. With this powerful feature, users can now access and control their entire desktop environment without ever leaving VR. Whether you’re juggling multiple monitors, navigating with keyboard shortcuts, or running complex software, it’s all at your fingertips – inside Somnium Space.

From browsing the web to managing files or even editing video, if you can do it on your desktop, you can now do it immersed in Somnium.

Worlds Hub

The city center just got a major upgrade. The iconic giant “mushroom” topped with the rotating Somnium Space logo has been transformed into the new Worlds Hub – a gateway to a parallel dimension filled with creator-made worlds. It’s an imaginative and intuitive solution to explore the growing universe of incredible experiences being uploaded to Somnium Space.

The Worlds Hub

Step inside and you’ll find a series of curated corridors like “Popular Worlds,” “Newly Added,” “Verified Creators,” and more. Every corridor is lined with worlds, offering a dynamic, immersive way to discover and dive into the rich diversity of Somnium’s ever-expanding metaverse.

Upgraded Full Body Tracking

As we all know, for true immersion in virtual reality, full-body tracking (FBT) is essential. With this latest update, FBT in Somnium Space has become smoother, more stable, and easier to set up than ever before. Whether you’re using Tundra Trackers, SlimeVR, Vive 2.0, Vive 3.0, the Vive Ultimates, or even Standable, Somnium now supports a wide array of tracking systems – ensuring that your movements are captured with precision and presence. This means whether you’re dancing in a club, exploring new worlds, or performing in front of an audience, your whole body can be part of the experience.

Audio Reactive System (ARS)

Somnium Space now has an audio reactive system, which comes as a unity package that can be downloaded from the community assets on the Somnium Space website. ARS lets creators add real-time audio-reactive effects to their VR worlds – like pulsing lights, animated objects, particle bursts, and shader effects synced to music or voice.

SDK Validation Upgrade

The upgraded validation system now guides creators by reminding them to include a teleportation area if one hasn’t been added yet, and introduces clear setup stages to ease the steep learning curve of Unity.

So if you’re just starting out with Unity, don’t worry – Somnium Space has your back. With built-in guidance and tools that simplify the process, getting started has never been easier.
