Anything that gets more activity I would support for now. The main problem is just lack of critical mass in any fediverse platform for VR converations.

I'm very interested to see what Samsung comes out with. The Odyssey was a great device and they have superb hardware expertise in all kinds of ways. In some ways they are better positioned than Apple (for example, in-house display manufacturing etc).

Google - I have no idea about, it's been so long since I saw them deliver something new and convincing on the software front.

 

Largely summarising a BusinessInsider report, paints a gloomy view of the likelihood that Google can take a convincing shot at delivering something competitive next year. Based on a range of leaks from insiders.

 

Half-Life Alyx, Subnautica, No Man's Sky all more than 50% off - definitely worth picking these up if you don't have them!

 

Still a long way to go, but few people thought getting this far would be possible!

 

Google reportedly killed AR glasses project, will instead provide Android XR platform for manufacturers like Samsung.

 

YouTuber @ThrillSeekerVR has created a downloadable app Quest app that lets you try out the eye-tracked "click" interaction implemented in #VisionPro (only usable if you have a #QuestPro, since it features eye tracking). I gave this a shot and it works surprisingly well. It shows that the #QuestPro eye tracking is easily good enough to do this, as well as the hand tracking and cameras it is fitted with to detect the "click" of the fingers.

Anyone curious about how this interaction works and what #VisionPro will be like should give it a try (if you have access to a #QuestPro).
