DJ in VR

So i was on the Discord channel for Twitch streamers asking some questions... long story short this one guy was talking about how he DJs in VR and lists off some gear. I had several follow up questions but he uses TribeXR with Quest 2 VR to DJ then the video feed is like a VR version of him. So he's using for example CDJ3000s and a DJM900 but instead of shelling out $10k or whatever for the setup he paid $40 to have it virtually replicated. Pretty wild. I've never heard of anything like this before... have any of yall?

Here's an example of what it looks like while he's playing.

That's pretty cool. I had no idea such a thing existed!

Same here. I wonder if viewers of the stream have a VR headset does it put them in the VR world too? That would be pretty neat especially if you can see and interact with other people. Basically I guess that's the metaverse idea, right?

I assumed they're a VTuber who is using VR from their own perspective as a replacement for the real DJ gear, but I don't know for sure.

I guess I can see some of the appeal of VR clubbing, cos you can hop in and out of different "clubs" at the click of a button, so you could find the one playing just the kind of music you want - which I definitely have zero chance of doing in real clubs near me - and you still have a level of interaction with real people, with zero risks. Obviously, you can't beat going to a real club, festival, gig etc. but I can see how it could be a nice supplement to real world stuff, rather than replacing it.

How do you do a sweaty MDMA hug on a stranger in the VR world?
