Hey, I'm AussieGuy92.
I'm a VR world builder and web developer from Australia. I spend a lot of my time building virtual worlds, websites, tools and random projects, usually involving VR, Unity, web development, automation or AI in some way.
I've always been interested in technology and figuring out how things work. Most of the things I build start because I either think “that would be cool” or “surely there's a better way of doing this” — and then I end up building it myself.
That's pretty much how this website started too.
How I got into VR
I first got into world building through AltspaceVR.
I originally joined Altspace to explore VR and meet people, but once I discovered that you could actually build your own worlds with Unity, I got hooked.
I started teaching myself Unity and building worlds, but back then finding information about how to actually do things in Altspace could be a pain. I'd spend hours trying to figure something out, digging through documentation, Discord messages and whatever other information I could find.
Eventually I thought, if I've already spent hours figuring this stuff out, I might as well write it down so the next person doesn't have to. That's where a lot of my tutorials came from.
Over time I became an AltspaceVR Community Helper and Power User, built more worlds and became pretty involved with the creator community.
When Microsoft shut AltspaceVR down in 2023, I didn't stop building. I moved more of my work over to VRChat, kept using Unity and continued experimenting with whatever new platforms and tools came along.
And now, somehow, I'm still doing it.
What I do now
These days I do a bit of everything. I build VR worlds in Unity, develop websites, create tools, write documentation and tutorials, experiment with AI and automation, and occasionally come up with projects that are probably much bigger than I originally intended them to be.
I really enjoy combining different technologies together. If I can build something once and automate the boring parts afterwards, even better.
A lot of what I do is basically finding a problem, figuring out how it works and then seeing if I can build something that solves it.
Things I'm building
One of my main projects is VRCreators.net, a collection of tutorials, documentation and resources for people building content for social VR.
It follows pretty much the same idea as my original Altspace tutorials: if I've already figured something out, I might as well document it and hopefully save somebody else a few hours.
I'm also building EventsVR.net, a VR event discovery platform. There are heaps of events happening across social VR, but they're scattered between VRChat groups, Discord servers, websites and different communities.
I wanted somewhere you could open up and quickly see what's happening, what's happening soon, and find something to actually do in VR.
So I started building it.
And AussieGuy92.com is basically my home on the web. It's where I put my projects, worlds, experiments, tutorials and whatever else I'm working on or interested in.
You'll also find quite a bit about AltspaceVR here because it was a pretty important part of how I got into all of this, and I want to preserve some of that history rather than have it disappear.
What I'm interested in
I'm always playing around with new technology and seeing what I can actually build with it.
At the moment, a lot of that is around VR, AI and automation, particularly finding ways to connect them together and make them genuinely useful.
I'm interested in AI that can actually interact with the things I build, help automate repetitive work and become part of larger systems rather than just sitting in a chat window.
VR is still a huge part of what I do as well. I enjoy building places for people to actually use, whether that's somewhere to hang out, attend an event, explore or just mess around with friends.
Most of the time I don't really know what the next project will be until I have an idea and think, “I wonder if I could build that.”
Then I usually end up trying.
