It is possible to create the world that you have drawn in your mind in the VR space.



Google acquired Tilt Brush developer Skillman & Hackett in 2015 and released Tilt Brush on Steam in April 2016. The development of Tilt Brush continued after it was acquired by Google, adding features such as multiplayer support and an open source toolkit for using Tilt Brush-drawn content in animations.

And in a blog post on January 26, 2021, Google announced that it would open source Tilt Brush. You can now access the Tilt Brush code on GitHub, but Google has already stated that it is 'not an actively developed product and does not accept pull requests' and is already a Tilt Brush project. Has been found to be obsolete.

While Google has embarked on various VR projects, it has abolished many. In addition to discontinuing sales of the VR headset 'Daydream View' in 2019, it was announced that the 3D content platform ' Poly ' and the educational VR tour app ' Expeditions ' will be discontinued in 2020.

Technology media The Verge points out that it's not uncommon for Google and its parent company Alphabet to end a big project, and mentions the end of Loon, a project that provides the Internet on stratospheric balloons. However, he said it was a significant compromise for Tilt Brush users, as it was open sourced rather than completely obsolete.
