Welcome to XR Beeb
This is a fully working simulation of the 8-bit BBC Micro computer (1981). You can play games, and even write your own programs in BASIC.
You can type on the virtual keyboard with your hands with handtracking enabled, use the VR controller pointer, or a real keyboard.

About the BBC Micro
The BBC Micro is an influential 8-bit computer from the UK, co-created by Sophie Wilson in 1981. Wilson later used a BBC Micro to design the original Arm, now the world's most prevalent computer architecture. This simulation is probably running on an Arm CPU right now.
