Movement + Mindfulness: ‘Alo Moves’ MR App From Magnopus Coming Exclusively to Meta Quest 3

Big news from Alo Moves today: The movement and mindfulness brand is bringing its award-winning on-demand wellness platform to MR exclusively for Meta Quest 3 later this year! Developed by Magnopus of Mission: ISS fame, the Alo Moves app uses cutting-edge volumetric capture for peak immersion. Lifelike representations of IRL instructors will guide you through every movement and moment in a series of yoga, Pilates, and mindfulness classes. And thanks to room mapping and object detection, you’ll be able to practice safely as you get the studio experience from the comfort of home.

Alo Moves will include mixed reality movement and mindfulness classes with 3D instructors. Master the moves with a volumetrically captured virtual instructor as well as a 360-degree “mini-instructor” who can be viewed from all angles and placed anywhere in view to help you perfect your poses. These classes will take place in an environmental portal anchored within your physical space, giving you access to stunning views like mountain vistas and coastal scenes.

Bonus: You’ll also have access to the extensive library of existing Alo Moves classes.

“Alo Moves has always been motivated by a single goal: to inspire mindful movement and meditation,” says Alo Moves General Manager Natasha Trindall. “Partnering with Magnopus and Meta allows us to leverage cutting-edge MR technology to create a truly immersive wellness experience. MR has the potential to break down geographical barriers and inspire a wider audience to prioritize their well-being through movement and mindfulness in a way that cultivates lasting practices.”

Alo Moves on Quest 3 will put you face-to-face with the platform’s renowned instructors. Yoga with Ashley Galvin and Annie Landa (aka Annie Moves), Pilates with Bianca Wise, audio-guided meditations with Kirat Randhawa, and soothing sound baths with Susy Markoe Schieffelin—the choice is yours. You’ll be able to walk around them to view each pose from any angle, just like you would in an in-person class. With low-impact classes spanning five to 24 minutes, Alo Moves easily fits into any daily routine.

“Developing Alo Moves MR app was a truly inspiring project because it allowed us to push the boundaries of what’s possible in the VR fitness space,” says Magnopus Director of Virtual Production AJ Sciutto. “Volumetric capture was the clear choice for the instructors. It allows us to create life-sized, 3D figures with incredible detail. This level of immersion fosters a deeper connection and provides a much clearer understanding of movement, especially for beginners.”

Alo Moves launches on Quest 3 later this year. Stay tuned for more details in the months ahead.
