Rhythm Taichi XR

Rhythm Taichi XR is a mixed-reality rhythm game built around physical movement and touch. You follow paths traced on the screen by sliding your fingers to the music, in a motion likened to practicing Taichi with your fingers. The game can use a smartphone as a motion camera, run as a second screen for your phone, or be played as a standalone VR game; its XR mode does not require specialized hardware.

Touch and timing

Designed for touch input, the game uses a pathing algorithm to set the amount of finger travel for each hand. Its touch-tracking system measures your movements, while rainfall-style timing effects give feedback on how closely you match the beat. You can refine your runs and submit scores to a leaderboard to compete with players around the world.

Songs and VR

The game supports most custom songs in the BeatSaver song format, with in-game integration with the BeatSaver API for thousands of songs. You can also download songs from BeatSaver and import them through the game menu. On Windows, Rhythm Taichi XR supports desktop VR setups; a controller phone is optional, though it can be used to sign in and submit leaderboard scores.
