Tommy Foo @rashozen.bsky.social · 22/12/2025🧵Many thought it may be right to start with hands, gestures, locomotion, or environment. But the very first “input device” in XR is actually the head, as it determines orientation, position, comfort, and how players understand the "origin". #gaming #VR #gamedev 142

If Ubisoft and Bungie and NetEase have layoffs, nobody in game development is safe. If the Romeros get their funding pulled, no studio is safe. It's rough out there, right now. 272038386
