BeanVR was a social VR app from a Chinese company, which appears to be yet another casualty of the competitive social VR marketplace. There are a number of year-old YouTube videos about this platform, complete with fractured Chinese-to-English translations:
BeanVR looked like a fun and cheerful place, while it lasted!
In this 15-minute video, Chinese lessons are taking place on the platform:
Unfortunately, BeanVR seems to have shut down completely. There are numerous complaints on both the Oculus store and the Steam store about the app:
Absolutely Garbage. There are no players, very few rooms, 6 characters to choose from, and most of the content is in Chinese. The whole experience was buggy and unpleasant all around.
…Bean VR is a 1:1 shameless knock off of Altspace VR but at 1/10th the content and stability.
Many people have reported on the Oculus store that they were not able to get the app to run at all:
Don’t bother to download does not work!! Does not work, all you get is the logo in a dark background or an error.
Their Twitter hasn’t been used since June 2017. It seems pretty clear that the product has folded.
