This article, by the way, finally made a subscriber of me to The Verge. Great work @seanhollister.bsky.social.

This is the fundamental takeaway I see killing transparent optics & it’s great to see The Verge express it. A year from now I’m unsure the Snap Specs still ship because of this. The reason you put a computer on your face — the content — is worse in transparent optics even if the “world” is better.

Reactivated an email account on a service I haven’t used in maybe 8-10 years to receive a verification code from another service just to try and remember what happened precisely circa 2015. I’m getting ads on the email service rather than verification codes.

One of the reasons I pour a tremendous amount of time into covering Walkabout, doing a design tour each release, is because I see them as barometer of the overall VR market. If their creative engine can’t run then VR as a games platform is truly in trouble.

Nobody wants to hear about the man holding a dead pigeon in his hand while talking COVID-19 and the illuminati but I’m not over it and sharing insanity is some of what Bluesky is for. So I’m sorry, but I’m not over it yet, and you must hear about this again.

Good Virtual Reality isn't physically at Meta Connect but there's more to come virtually. Here's my initial breakdown of what's brewing in VR glasses between Apple & Meta. www.goodvirtualreality.com/p/meta-vr-gl...

3D movies, live sports, and backward compatibility with Quest games promise real reasons to visit VR more often. When does John Ternus answer with Apple Vision?

I’m just trying to understand something here. Are you telling me that there’s now a paragraph in the history of VR about the invention of the ability to get effed by a fly brain? Am I understanding this right?

Now posting Good Virtual Reality mainly to Bluesky, LinkedIn, and Substack. Recent podcast interviews introduce VR as both a medium and personal computing platform, from seniors socializing in standalone to recording podcasts in Chrome downloaded directly to a linux headset.

This is messed up. Go in my feed to see me getting Voyager and TOS for $15 each and begging for DS9 at that rate. Looks like I missed my window.

Meanwhile I’d argue Steam Frame is the ideal way to play Stardew Valley on a canvas that shows your whole farm at once.
