Hmm, PSVR 2 app for SteamVR updated for the first time since April. "We've made some performance and stability improvements to the app," is the only changelog. I wonder what prompted the update.

Anyone have access to lossless audio quality in their Spotify app settings yet?

What’s your reaction to the Connect 2025 announcements?

It's cool that Meta is offering several styles of smart glasses, but Google Glass was way ahead of the game with an interchangeable lens design that allowed you to change style without needing an entirely new unit.

Name that HMD

New AirPods Pro 3 can do real-time language translation which is pretty cool. Seems like a sensible feature to add to Vision Pro too. Absolutely niche, but if the solution is already built, seems it could be worthwhile to add.

What VR game has the most impressive enemy AI that you’ve ever seen? Let’s just exclude HLA because it would probably be 50% of answers.

I’m surprised it’s not a standard feature of all calendar apps to be able to mark an event as “tentative” and then later confirm with a button or check box that it is confirmed. 

Apple keynote one week before Meta Connect. Should be a fun September.

Just found my new favorite virtual desktop manager for Windows 11. Completely free and works great: github.com/newlooper/Vi... (P.S. for VR friends: this is about managing multiple Windows desktops, not virtual reality!)

Meta Connect keynote is at 5PM PT this year? 🤨 In previous years it's been around 10AM.

Zero Caliber 2 Remastered is offering to lower the game's price based on Steam wishlist milestones. Do we think this will lead to a net benefit for the game's revenue?

Does anyone in my feed have any connections at @BambulabGlobal? Trying to get in touch for a VR related-related 3D printing project/article for @RtoVR

You can now get XREAL glasses at Best Buy (major US retailer) 👏

Would you read a great book, even if it was written by AI?

Still waiting for a VR game with satisfying environmental destruction. I want to punch walls apart... or better yet, smash people through them!

These things don't get their due because most people have only ever had them stale.

iOS 26 finally tells you if your phone is fast charging or not.

When you can’t get the hitbox to line up with the model

Why hasn't WebXR taken off? Cross-headset experiences that are shareable with a simple link and no middle-man platform are a no-brainer. Tooling? Performance? Missing features? Awareness?

If you're interested in insights on marketing VR games, my panel discussion from AWE is now available on YouTube: youtu.be/FIB3iom-_cI There's only so much you can say in 50 minutes, but with decades of industry experience on this panel, newer developers/studios to soak up some hard-won knowledge.

In addition to ‘Dancing with the Stars’ can we get a ‘Fighting with the Stars’ where celebrities work with fight choreographers to do some sick live-action combat scenes?

With a live action Zelda movie on the horizon, any fan of the music needs to listen to this incredible reorchestration of the Ocarina of Time soundtrack, expertly arranged and played by a full orchestra. It captures how epic the game felt to me as a kid: open.spotify.com/playlist/6G6...

If you need a giant sign in the bathroom that says “dry,” something definitely went wrong in the design process.

New cinematic trailer for Asgard's Wrath II... interesting that they're doing fresh marketing for this. youtu.be/Apv8sAOInBM

How it started ➡️ How it's going (if you use Google Calendar, reply and RT and I'll get you into the forthcoming alpha)

Meta has released its spatial audio plugin for the popular audio tool Wwise: developers.meta.com/horizon/blog...

What's the best 'cooking management' game in VR?

Anyone have suggestions for an Apple Watch sleep tracking app? Apple's built-in sleep tracking isn't giving me enough data (I'm primarily interested in how much I'm tossing/turning at night). I've tried some third-party apps but so far they seem to give a lot of data but don't boil it down well.

Bluegrass is the EDM of acoustic music, and I'm tired of pretending it's not.

I'd love to see a @Steam feature for devs to offer seamless group discounts of multiplayer games. Having friends all buy and try a game together has significant ramifications for retention, so incentivizing a group buying is in everyone's interest.

Total speculation, but I have a feeling the reason why Boz recently said they rolled out recent Quest updates with know issues because (for undisclosed reasons) they "had to," was to get some things in place before the launch of the Quest 3S Xbox Edition.

Cool WebXR project from Andreas Sundquist. Explore a range of AI-generated gaussian splats of fantastical places. Check it out in your headset of choice! lofiworlds.ai

Has anyone ever had the sensation of being 'still stuck in VR' after removing their headset (ie: the real world feels fake for some reason)? I've heard a few anecdotes over the years, especially for people who are new to VR, but I'm interested in digging deeper into this phenomenon.

Glad to see a special edition Quest that leans toward a specific use-case without causing fragmentation. But I can't believe there still hasn't been a Beat Saber edition!

Weird idea but I'd love to see a @BeatSaber x @boburnham collab where they bring some of the most musical tracks from INSIDE to Beat Saber. Think there could be some really fun maps to be made with his comical lyrics, and some of his songs are legit jams.

Logitech announced a new VR stylus for Vision Pro last week, but the company has been working on them at least as far back as 2019 with the VR Ink Pilot Edition, which used SteamVR tracking. Did anyone buy one or know someone who did? I'm not sure if the Pilot Edition was ever actually mass produced

Among Vision Pro users, I almost never see people asking for new hardware features/improvements. Most people simply want a smaller form-factor. That says a lot about the state of the software and the headset's capabilities. I'm in the same camp; wrote this recently: www.roadtovr.com/half-the-siz...

Tell me you’ve been in VR for more than a decade, in three words or less.

We don’t cover a lot of 3D displays, but special shout out to Sony’s glasses-free Spatial Reality Display which has gotten really impressive. Really sharp and great sense of depth. Obviously can’t show you the 3D effect in a photo, but trust me it looks really good for glasses-free.

I'm so glad I built this little extension for Google Calendar. I realize for many people this probably seems completely unnecessary , but for a brain like mine, this is like autopilot for staying on time for important events.

Office for the day 😌

Interesting comparison here between sales (entitlements) and usage of free vs. paid Quest apps. Summer life in free apps explained by Summer vacation for younger audiences.

Meta published a pretty deep dive on the way they approach app discovery/recommendations on the Horizon store, with a handful of actionable suggestions to increase impressions and conversions. Great crash course for devs trying to make the most of store discovery: developers.meta.com/horizon/blog...

Apple says its new Vision Pro co-located experience tools allows for "perfectly" synchronized audio/video media playback so there is no delay/echo between local participants. Great detail... I'm curious how it works under the hood.

Got to try new Personas and Spatial Scenes (6DOF-ish photo conversions) on visionOS 26 and I'm really impressed. Not only because this is a device that launched 1.5 years ago... but also because both are happening on-device with local models. Apple cooked.
