@UploadVR Sad news, but it’s not the first time Meta dumps great games and studios!
Will focus on SteamVR and PC VR titles from now on!
English

Meta has shut down Twisted Pixel Games (Deadpool VR), Sanzaru Games (Asgard's Wrath), and Armature Studio (Resident Evil 4 VR), UploadVR can confirm:

@RealityLabs It hurts…..
Large demand, low production speed!
Guess it will not be available for the EU including Sweden for a long time!
(EOL)
”we’ve decided to pause our planned international expansion to the UK, France, Italy, and Canada, which was originally scheduled for early 2026”

@RtoVR Wondering if it will handle pc games with spatial 3D support, like the glasses free 3D displays or if the resolution will be a limit here? And if they will support 3D Blu-ray playback of DRM protected content via HDMI?

@RejoinP We need the UK in the EU, get back in the game! It simplifies our life and it makes us strong together!

🇬🇧 Prime Minister admits Brexit was built on “falsehoods.”
From red tape to the £350m NHS lie.
We said it then.
The country knows it now.
🇬🇧❤️🇪🇺 Time to get our star back. 🌟

@NimaZeighami One more year of waiting for a new Pro HMD then..
English

Higher resolution, eye / face tracking, and much smaller and lighter on your face with a separate puck, $800. And it won’t be called Quest.
That’s the next Meta headset.
Not sure if the base SKU ships with controllers or not.

@ASUS_ROG It has not been a smooth experience with the ROG Ally X!
Won’t wake up from being docked and confusing many background applications running!
Unable to use the @ character entering email and so on! (Maybe due to international keyboard settings.)
Will give this a second try!
English

@203Null @SadlyItsBradley @dtupper Frame will probably be a budget friendly selection without any addons if you are into PCVR with a real GPU ;-)
English

@dtupper @SadlyItsBradley Should I buy the Steam Frame or wait for the Deckard?
English

@SadlyItsBradley GXR have my attention! Micro-OLED sounds great and maybe we will see some other branded HMD’s with it soon.. Europe still lacks behind getting the new HMD’s out there, it’s so frustrating!!!!
English

@DieserAndrew Even Meta Quest Pro had better hardware setup with Face and Eye tracking vs Eye tracking and passthru cameras vs no passthru! It feels like a budget HMD missing features that was expected! Only possible great thing is a dual WiFi adapter!
Wait 4 next gen Meta Pro, Apple, Google?
English

So it's really happening... I hate to be the vibe killer but I am actually kinda disappointed about this one.
It's still on LCD. It tracks inside-out. They got rid of the over-ear speakers and also literally the best VR controllers on the market. It just has side straps, which could make it very annoying to balance.
They integrated eye tracking is neat, seems well placed, though no lip tracking. Tech specs and connectivity look good.
Overall it seems to me to be just another Quest variant.
To be fair, OLED displays and integrated eye tracking are the only things I was missing on the Index. Not even given that, for me the Steam Frame is definitely not considered as a new investment in the future.
It's sad. I've been waiting for 6 years for the next generation Index, guess I'll have to wait a bit longer.

@Suzierizzo1 Petrol/Gas prices around the world, US is not that bad if you compare to others!
no.globalpetrolprices.com/gasoline_price…
English

@Suzierizzo1 In Sweden it’s $6.49 a gallon (and that is low..)
Makes you go EV instead, but the electricity is about the same price so you need to charge it from your home solar panels when possible to get the price down!

@obj0x0 @SawyerMerritt Google glass has returned, the 600x600 resolution and single right eye display is the next thing? Can see some usecases but remember that Google glass challenges and think they will end up the same! Will be banned from a security concern exposing information at some companies!

NEWS: Meta has officially unveiled its $799 Meta Ray-Ban Display AI glasses.
• Color 600-by-600-pixel resolution
• 20-degree field of view
• 5,000 nits of max brightness
• 2% light leakage, making it hard for other people to see that there is a display
• Gesture control with an EMG wristband that translates the signals created by your muscle activity into commands for your glasses
• Comes with transition lenses, and the brightness adjusts depending on ambient UV light
• Monocular: display only appears in the one lens
• Microphones, speakers, cameras
Meta: "The display is placed off to the side, so it doesn’t obstruct your view. And it isn’t on all the time — it’s designed for short interactions that you’re always in control of. This isn’t about strapping a phone to your face. It’s about helping you quickly accomplish some of your everyday tasks without breaking your flow. It’s the first product that takes microphones, speakers, cameras, and a full-color display backed with compute and AI — and puts it all together in a single device that’s stylish and comfortable."
Hits U.S. shelves Sept 30th. Expansion to Canada, France, Italy, and the UK is planned for early 2026.

@SawyerMerritt Single eye display! 600x600 resolution…
So it’s just like the old Google Glass, ok it’s a color display! Maybe they will survive, but can’t see the beauty with them at this moment!
Will wait for a MR/AR glasses with dual eye and 3D support, before replacing my ordinary glasses
English

@NathieVR Cool, but no Mixed Reality…
Display on single eye (right eye) and 600 x 600 pixels resolution so will not go for it!
