This is very impressive technology, but I'm not sure what I'd use it for, to be honest. Does this technology have support for VR? Because I could see how this could be the future of doing computationally intensive tasks on under powered devices.

Thanks! We began building the tech for a watch party site (watch.hyperbeam.com) and were similarly skeptical of other viable applications. However, it turns out there are a ton of really cool use cases—here are some companies using our API right now:

Remote tutoring: https://www.teachwithkoala.com

VR offices & conferences: https://framevr.io

Watch parties: https://kosmi.io

Online coding lessons: https://www.strivemath.com

VS Code embeds: https://github.com/mintlify/connector

As for improving VR support, we're in the process of building a Unity SDK. Running computationally-expensive tasks in VR sounds really interesting in addition to the social use-case!
