I’ve been testing Liminal: Walking Meditation with my Ray-Ban Meta glasses and it's really interesting. It uses what the glasses see around you to shape the meditation as you walk. Check out the details of what's coming from the team at Liminal VR 👇

Meta finally set a concrete timeline to ship realistic avatars, shoulders-up on Meta Ray-Ban Display and then full-body on Meta VR Glasses. We briefly tried both at Connect. Read our impressions here: www.uploadvr.com/meta-hologra...

I’ve been working out in VR almost daily for years, and I’ve learned what makes the experience more comfortable. These are the accessories I use and recommend. 👇

I didn’t know much about Kacey Musgraves before this, but the VR experience made me a fan. I’d love to see more artists try something like this.

I tested Meta Virtual Display across Apple Silicon and older Intel Macs, including Quick Connect, input forwarding, display options, and a few limitations. 👇

Really enjoyed seeing this one come together. Brink Traveler’s Iceland Riverbed is a great fit for Virtual Desktop, and there’s more going on behind the scenes than you might expect. Hope we see more collaborations like this.

Ten people. Apple Vision Pro. Volumetrically captured actors. One shared branching story. Empire At Sea is a fascinating approach to mixed reality storytelling, premiering at #VeniceImmersive this week. My latest for @uploadvr.com 👇

FitXR is expanding beyond the headset. I went hands-on with the new mobile workouts and spoke with CEO Sam Cole about where the platform is headed.

Five months ago, Supernatural looked like it was nearing the end. Now its original founders are back, all six coaches are returning, and a team that once numbered nearly 200 is rebuilding with 15 people. As a Supernatural athlete, this was a meaningful story for me to report.

I tested FitXR's new knee strikes and learned how the app detects them without lower-body tracking.

This is FitXR's Mid-Atlantic environment on Meta Quest. A pretty good example of why working out in VR can feel a lot less like working out. 🥊 You're having so much fun, you don't even realize how hard you're working. 😅 #VRFitness #FitXR #MetaQuest

StormyCsVR @stormycsvr.bsky.social · 27/07/2026
#MetaQuest made app filtering and sorting worse in the new Quest Navigator. I used to be able to filter to installed apps AND sort them A-Z or by recent use. Now I have to choose one or the other. With 1,000+ apps in my library, that’s a step backward.

I thought I understood the Temple of Dendur when I visited The Met in New York City. It turns out I didn’t. My latest for UploadVR looks at how The Met is using immersive technology to tell stories beyond the museum walls. The experiences are free. If you try them, I’d love to hear your thoughts.

Immersive concerts may end up being one of VR180’s strongest long-term use cases. The Goo Goo Dolls concert in Horizon TV really clicked: atmosphere, scale, lighting, and proximity to performers all working to create the experience - and you're there on stage with them. New piece for UploadVR 👇

The 15” MacBook Air is actually a pretty stunning value. Compare to the first Retina display MacBook Pro, which was super high end when it launched.

💪Spent real time with all of these VR fitness apps. 🥊 None replace my main apps, but I keep coming back to each of them for different reasons. There’s a real “best of the rest” layer in VR fitness that doesn’t get enough attention.

Spent some time with FitXR’s new Flow Studio. Feels less like a new feature and more like something built to keep a routine going. Makes a lot of sense if you’re unsure about Supernatural long term. And takes advantage of FitXR's rich art style. www.uploadvr.com/fitxr-builds...

With all the NASA Artemis excitement, I figured I’d work from the “captain’s seat” today. I’m not a developer or engineer. Just someone who tried this and realized virtual screens are the way. This is already changing how I work. Not someday. Right now. #normalizeVR

Most esports involve watching people behind monitors. At a Global Gaming League event, the main event was VR boxing in Thrill of the Fight 2. It raises an interesting question: can VR actually work as a spectator sport? I wrote about it for UploadVR 🥊
