Show HN: Vlly – Turn all your users into playtesters [VR]

Hello Hacker News, I'm Tremayne and I built Vlly - a tool that allows VR and Spatial Computing team to automatically generate video clips of key user moments so they can understand why users are leaving, how they're using features, where bugs exist, etc. You just install the unity plugin, add a line of code where you want to track, and watch clips of your real users in a dashboard. It's super easy to use and install because I wanted to make it easy for indie devs to use while focusing on building their product.

It's like Hotjar/Fullstory/Sprig/etc for VR and Spatial Computing.

I was working with some VR teams last year and the best advice anyone gave me for how to do user testing was to either be directly next to my user or hire a playtesting service to do these manual tests for me. I thought it was odd that there wasn't something like Hotjar/Fullstory/Sprig available for VR and Spatial that would allow me to just watch clips of when someone was using a feature.

I took the idea on the road (shout out to AWE2023) and it turned out this wasn't just an issue I had so I built it.

Happy to answer any questions or speculate on what could be.
