@Flat2VR @CDPROJEKTRED @Flat2VRStudios @CDPROJEKTRED +1

Hey @CDPROJEKTRED — we’d love to explore the idea of a proper, official VR port of Cyberpunk 2077 if you were ever interested. It's one of our "dream games to port"🙏 Our @Flat2VRStudios has shipped multiple award-winning VR adaptations, focused on reimagining games to feel built from the ground up for VR with motion controls and uncompromised presentation. We're trusted by multiple AAA studios and work in a way that lets you keep on focusing on all the amazing stuff you do.

❄️ #GeForceSeason of Giving ❄️ Want your chance at a custom wrapped ARC Raiders GeForce RTX 5090?! Comment “GeForce Season” below and tell us why you deserve this Holiday upgrade 🎄

@NVIDIAGeForce GeForce Season My 5090 is being used for comparative benchmarks for the PCVR community at large.. so I don't actually get to use it for my own gaming sessions. Also, my Arc Raiders Expedition Project is fully completed and I'm stacked with loot for departure on the 21st!

@Heaney555 Yup, definitely poor word choice there on my part as I was multitasking while testing their site in chunks. They couldn't possibly make new stock appear out of thin air that quickly lol - but happy to see a ramp up batch now as a result of community feedback.

@ALINEtechXR Yeah that's for shipping in over a month though. It sounds like they are out of stock but you can preorder the next batch.

An avoidable consequence of not including the controllers in the box.

@DigestAndroid What does "REAL AI" mean - there is no dedicated AI chip or anything. Also there's definitely not going to be identical day-to-day performance.. especially for multimodal media AI actions. I'm an Android lover too, but this feels like insane cope.

I'm absolutely blown away. People paid $3,500 for a VR headset just to watch a few movies. But now we are adding REAL AI to a headset at $1,799 with nearly identical day to day performance but WAY better AI, and at nearly half the price. This headset looks amazing. Preordered

@NathieVR Yes, but controllers already sold out so... someone sell me yours plz.

Anyone picking up the Samsung Galaxy XR headset this week?

@eminus @SadlyItsBradley Buy this used, too! If you wait out the 15-day return period, they will start popping up on used marketplaces. A lot of people impulse buy these things to try them out, realizing it will never be worn. I got my M2 AVP for $800 off MSRP by just waiting a month after release.

@SadlyItsBradley Or do they buy this and a used M2 for the price of an M5.

I didn’t think I’d be receiving two brand new XR headsets this week… from the largest hardware manufacturers in the world I think after I get my Samsung Galaxy XR, the question I’ll ask myself: Do interested enthusiasts buy this OR a used Vision Pro M2 for about the same price

Pretty disappointing, considering just how fast they went. It's almost like they did 0 market research. The checkout process on the Samsung website was an adventure on its own - laggy front-end, inability to get a card added, duplicative "undefined" errors. Money has been debited on my card, but I never actually made it to an order confirmation page / have no order confirmation e-mail. Only error screens. This is as of just a few moments before posting this reply. All-in-all, the lead-up experience has me worried about the research/testing/execution of the device itself.

@MuchAdoAbtNthng @thedowd This was nowhere on his YouTube - which is where the videos get discovered and the most views. He recently added it after getting called out for this sketchy behavior. It is 100% a moral issue.

This guy is literally paid by Meta. The masquerade has turned into a full on marionette circus.

@sam548899565 Limited uses; they were snagged almost instantly after posting.

@ALINEtechXR dosent work

@loyalmoses @Polymaker_3D Definitely lay on top of them for a pic like the stacked money scene in Breaking Bad.

We got a pallet of @Polymaker_3D PolyDryers and PolyDryer Boxes! What should I do with them?! 😈

@okciaobye My latest 😍

i think we should go back to this aesthetic

@jasteinerman I'm not buying it. I mean, I'm buying the glasses, but not the justification for the demos - especially given you're going to sell online anyways.

Tons of you have been super hyped to get the new Meta Ray Ban Display, and there’s been a lot of totally fair questions about getting a pair, like: 🤓 Why do I need a demo? 💻 Why can’t I just buy them online? And, 🛍️ Why are they not available in a store near me? So we put together this comprehensive post just for you! meta.com/blog/meta-ray-…

If true, I wonder if it's a strategy play - 1) The R&D on miniaturization of chips / other components / glasses would presumably help set the groundwork for better decisions for a better Apple Vision "Air" - especially when coming to fit, design, and weight reduction. 2) Currently AndroidXR is scalable up to VR-sized UI/UX and compute, and down to the minimalist smart glasses . I'm assuming VisionOS needs to be rebuilt to account for this flexibility - and quickly to not lose grip of market share against both Meta + Google. Apple users would probably get curious and start sleeping around if they didn't know "Apple Glass" or whatever was coming soon. 3) With the release of the AVP 2, Apple has addressed the immediate needs of what users wanted.. and have over 1.5 years of real-world data from the AVP's use. They could've concluded from the data that the weight + social isolation + lack of killer app leads the market for mainstream needs to be addressed first, resulting in this pivot to gather more data on what users are looking for. I don't think I'd risk building them in tandem, either - it makes more sense to get the foundational data and scalable OS set first.

I wonder what the true story & nuances are here. A company with the resources of Apple should absolutely be able to do both.

Concerning if true. visionOS cannot succeed as a platform with a $3500 entry price, and Apple Vision Pro's weight needs to be addressed.

@iBrews Gotten the one where it spams notifications for infinity up and down into the void, completely blocking your view with no escape?

It’s kind of wild how often I’ll put on a Meta headset and it’s just a glowing black screen or the menu won’t come up or it’s stuck in passthrough and the only fix is restarting. Can you imagine anything like this with Windows or Mac or Android or iOS ?

@Zoux_Slim @soocus_ DM'd ya one!

@soocus_ I was too late wtf. Do you have another one 💀

To make it fun, here’s a monoalphabetic substitution cipher for a Sora 2 invite code.

@soocus_ To be honest - I cheated. Thank you though <3 Will spread the wealth.

gone instantly💀

@Random_But_Cool @Brainprojectx Care to share?!

@Brainprojectx THANK YOU SO MUCH

Sora 2 invite code as promised More for those who follow, like and reply Fastest finger

@saradietschy Congrats! I feel like that's a major milestone in life, and one I look forward to stamping my flag on in the future lol🤞 I hope you can find a moment to really bask in it.

Idk if this is from 2 years of therapy or just experiencing actual terrible things but Work can still stress me out but I no longer feel it in my body like I did before. No longer life or death. No longer paralyzes me. The only upside in awful experiences -- perspective.
