Multiple proven niches for XR out there. Now those using their headset to meditate and wind down have a new and compelling-looking option featuring natural spaces! www.uploadvr.com/soul-retreat...

Providing these features is slowly becoming cost-effective, which means they can actually be delivered to viewers www.youtube.com/watch?v=0dSn...

VR fitness is not for everyone, but it is a very real positive thing in the life of a large amount of very real people. Many playing multiple times a week Crowd reaction to Supernatural "soft shutdown" and reviews for rhythm & fitness games like FitXR, Beat Saber and many others serve as evidence

Mash together two well-known things to create something instantly captivating? Might look like this ---> Into the pile of next games/workouts to test! Racket Pinball www.meta.com/en-gb/experi...

I signed up for the new best place for VR and immersive technology reporting. I hope you will too. goodvr.substack.com

Three big bad A's -- ads, algos and analytics Agree that convincing ways to understand ROI are sorely needed paulmezier.substack.com/p/what-immer...

Step change in comfort, no!? Eager to get to verify in our own daily use

Separate tracks for Horizon and VR certainly makes sense, e.g. don't let the mobile focus water down the truly immersive experiences

Finally an alternative for tattooing yourself and your friends while young, drunk & drugged? www.linkedin.com/posts/phil-t...

Still in the "slowly" phase of "slowly, then suddenly"

How about this, but so that the background is live footage from the stage in a concert E.g. you are the drummer/guitarist and are seeing your bandmates and an excited crowd

First NBA game has aired and folks who watched are posting highly hype comments. The usual "GAME CHANGER!" etc -- knowing the quality of VisionPro, it's easy to believe though www.linkedin.com/posts/hughho...

So curious to see these Immersive NBA games live in headset. Good excuse for a Hawaii trip right? 🏄 www.uploadvr.com/apple-immers...

Our background is in cine (doc & fiction) so the kind of light control that Steve Yedlin describes here is very fascinating. Really cool to be able to drive most LEDs in a color-accurate way and even ride faders to subtly match light changes during exterior shot castro.fm/episode/2Q6e3W

Tethered puck is an annoyance, but seems worth it if it can provide great resolution & framerate as well as comfort for extended periods and a sleek form factor Looking fwd to seeing the turntable of this. Still missing plenty of key details regarding shape, fit and weight

New categories in YoutubeVR spatial tab for VR180 and "spatialized" (2D to 3D conversion) videos... Looks like they're getting ready for a big release. Let's hope it also comes with a big update for this mess of an app.

"World of Red Bull: Backcountry Skiing" for Vision Pro Boy the sense of presence at a mountaintop heli drop and a narrow canyon line is insane — So must also be the complexity of production BTS link in thread Actual clip in Apple TV (need the headset to watch): tv.apple.com/gb/show/worl...

New genlock-capable iPhone + dock released some months ago —> as expected, now these splat rigs are starting to show up more and more. Exciting tech, especially 4DGS a.k.a ”video splats” Though our specialty is in Immersive Video / stereoscopic / VR180, we are watching this space closely

VR is becoming good for daily use, for work, exercise and entertainment. @ednewtonrex.bsky.social spent a week in VR with Guest 3 goggles and was amazed. #VirtualReality #MixedReality #VR #Quest
