Go try the CloverPit demo. You'll be throwing coins you win from the slot machine at your PC trying to buy the full game!

It got negative reviews but I played through MindsEye over the past couple of days. It was not the best game I've ever played but the actors and their digital representations were good and I will enjoy exploring the sort of Las Vegas cityscape in free roam now that I've finished the game.

It begins. I'm gonna wreck it!

Played the Donkey Kong Bananza demo at Nintendo SF today. It felt a lot like Mario Odyssey with some Minecraft elements sprinkled in. I look forward to playing the full game later this month.

My Top 3 most anticipated VR games still to come this year: 1. @titanisles.bsky.social 2. Lumines Arise by @enhance-experience.com 3. Dreams of Another by @q-games.com

For more than 5 years, I avoided this. I was less diligent with my masking this past week and here we are. Not in any way fun.

Did everyone check out the Meta booth at AWE? Two pair of Ray-Bans, a QR code and a framed printout. Very eye catching and clearly a high priority for a silver sponsor of the event to have an impactful presence on the show floor.

Interesting results in a camera comparison between my Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra, XREAL Beam Pro, Ray-Ban|Meta and XREAL One Glasses with XREAL Eye. youtu.be/o_rlVIPsBfo

My time at AWE 2025 has just ended and I have lots of thoughts. This is the conference that brings the mind, body and heartbeat of the XR community together. I love seeing friends old and new and our shared continued excitement for this technology.

I'm a big fan of the crazy worlds the artists at Meow Wolf transport visitors to and have been a Niantic app user since Field Trip, so this collaboration is like Peanut Butter and Jelly to me. Read Scott's article to learn where Niantic and Meow Wolf will blend realities first!

VITURE's Pro Mobile Dock now works with the Nintendo Switch 2 plugged in via USB-C. It requires the joycons to be detached from the console similar to the original Switch. Firmware update available here: static.viture.com/dfu-util/vit...

I've told you about keynotes. I've told you about the great games and fantastic VR Game Spotlight presentation at the Gaming Hub. How about a nice thread of things I saw that were cool on the exhibit hall floor at AWE?

AWE Gaming Hub has tons of great titles on showcase. This thread is a photo of each booth and if you are at the event, I encourage checking out each one.

I suppose the time has come to start my AWE keynotes/Main Stage thread. Stay tuned throughout the week as I update live with what I see and hear at AWE 2025 in Long Beach, CA.

Blippo+ is a very interesting surprise on the Playdate console.

This one looks like a fun title to keep an eye on releasing later this year across VR platforms.

I've spent almost all of my time on the Switch 2 (when not trying to make XR glasses mirror the display) playing Mario Kart World Free Roam. I haven't even started a single race and I've had a good number of hours of excellent fun and I've collected ten new outfits for Mario and 46 stickers.

I don't own an Apple Vision Pro but if I did, I'd be playing What the Car? today. If you own an Apple Vision Pro, I suggest checking it out. www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Xve...

XR Glasses and Switch 2 testing tonight. For XREAL One, TCL RayNeo Air 3S, VITURE Pro. I tried plugging each in to the top and bottom USB-C port with no adapter. No display but you can set to 1080p. Tried with powered XREAL Hub and updated VITURE Pro Dock, no display.

I reacted live on another social media site but now that I'm done with the workday, I need to tell my friends at Bluesky that I need this game ASAP.

Ever wanted to play a 30+ year old Star Wars game in stunning virtual reality? Me too! Now, you can with XWVM, a brilliant mod available for the classic Star Wars X-Wing game. www.moddb.com/mods/xwvm

Fellow Nintendo Store San Francisco fans: My wife and I are trying to collect the store's grand opening coins and are missing the Animal Crossing and Legend of Zelda coins. We have an extra Inkling from Splatoon. Anyone willing to trade?

Micro Center is now open in Santa Clara, California. I took the opportunity to visit during their soft opening and try to convince some unsuspecting shoppers to invest in some @xreal-global.bsky.social Air 2 Pro, which are in stock and on sale for just $299.99. youtu.be/Uk1_3OOWIu0

There's a new @garbage.com album out today. Some of it feels impenetrable but I definitely recommend listening in as high fidelity a format you can with either headphones or some form of spatial audio. garbage.lnk.to/AllThatWeIma...

My review of To a T by @uvula.jp (read Thread please): Being a Teenager can be Tough. This game explores The challenges of being a Teen buT also one ThaT has unique abiliTies.

Goling to live stream the first bit of to a T by @uvula.jp in around 10 minutes over here: youtube.com/live/ZMnf78H...

The first Unseen Diplomacy and the Hatton Garden Heist before it were two of my favorite roomscale VR adventures. Excited for the sequel with no wires and finding a nice big space to play in!

Kroy's post reminds me to remind folks to check out Clone Drone in the Hyperdome on a VR platform of your choice. I also greatly encourage checking out Arken Age, Ghost Town, Into Black and Bootstrap Island, four others I have sunk a good amount of time into in 2025.

I have been rambling about XR news tidbits to family, coworkers and friends all week and it felt best to put that into a video. Here's some news/recap/editorial about Android XR at Google I/O, Meta's Live AI, Horizon OS Navigator, and Indie VR showcases youtu.be/KXEa1oqBpsQ

Go play this great demo.

For those interested in Android XR, there was a short bit in the Google I/O keynote timestamped here youtube.com/live/o8NiE3X... but there is more detail about the Android XR roadmap in media coverage and more non-streamed presentations and demos at I/O with more at AWE next month.

This article is a great look at the Android XR roadmap.

Very much looking forward to this announcement tomorrow! bsky.app/profile/futu... also for more details. Sign up at futureruins.com seems to have been crushed under demand.

This is a great way to not sell me on not buying a product. www.uploadvr.com/next-gen-ray... The facial recognition isn't even the part that bothers me. It is the "always on" which is already enabled if you enable Meta AI on the current state Ray-Ban|Meta glasses. I've disabled all Meta AI.

It is the 45th anniversary of Mystery House, the first game by Roberta and Ken Williams. @drguillotine.bsky.social announced a 3D remake that will be playable in VR with hand interactions and also playable on a flat screen. That'll be coming later this year. mysteryhouse3d.com

I'll have a video covering Loop One: Done later this month but for now, I really encourage folks who own a Quest 3/3S to pick up the game and check it out!

Got that Nintendo Switch 2 Mario Kart World Bundle preorder in and some safety preorders in case of inventory problems.

I've been playing a bunch of games lately and wanted to call attention to three that I've really enjoyed.

I am optimistic for devs who continue to reinvest in their VR products. Getting excited for patch notes is very seldom a let-down. - often a total surprise - brings me back to something I love - adds value without asking for more $$$ Leaves me asking who else I can tell about the game!

I wish I was there to check out the Beyond Victory demo but moreso for this comic and triple signing. If you are at Star Wars Celebration Japan, go say hi, pick up a copy and try the demo!

I missed it last night but my YouTube channel started in line for Star Wars Celebration a decade ago. youtu.be/R1_vvnCCOjQ Thanks for a decade of views and memories. I love making content, which from July 2015 to present is primarily focused on VR, AR, 3D and emerging technologies.

✨XR GAME DEVELOPERS✨ I am thrilled to announce VR Game Spotlight is coming to AWE USA 2025! This is an opportunity to get your upcoming game in front of the many AWE attendees for free on-stage. Apply here: vrgamespotlight.com/apply

When given the choice in YouTube multiview of Coachella stages, I went with four great ones watching in my @xreal-global.bsky.social One glasses with XREAL Beam and YouTube for Android TV.

Had a fantastic Clover Pit demo run and unlocked something for the full game while in Immersive 3D mode on Steam with my VITURE Pro glasses. The screenshot appears to have captured both views so I wanted to share because it is kind of cool!

I'm preparing for Coachella multiview with the @xreal-global.bsky.social Beam and XREAL One glasses! (The Beam allows you to sideload the YouTube for TV client, which supports Coachella multiview channels. You can find the apk at beam-apps.com)

#TRONARES FEATURING ORIGINAL MUSIC BY NINE INCH NAILS 10.10.25

I was disappointed that the mini Sphere doesn't have random giant ads on it.

At Creation Entertainment's Women of Sci-Fi convention in Burbank this weekend. Some of those great women are Bonnie Gordon, Sandy Gimpel, Denise Richards and Adrianne Palicki.
