A Vulkan rebuild of DLSS 5's neural rendering network matches it bit for bit, plus a full Titanfall 2 VR conversion and hand-tracked Evangelion combat.
Arcturus gives Steam Frame true passthrough for $150, Meta opens a $1M hands-first contest, Hologram avatars get a hands-on, and Walkabout cuts staff again.
The display specs got the headlines, but Meta shipping VR Glasses without controllers, and paying $1M for hands-first apps, is the real bet.
Meta ships a camera-free Ray-Ban at 43 grams, Ray-Ban Display reaches Europe, Supernatural returns with a price, and Niagara gets a fluid solver.
Beat Saber rebuilds itself around hand tracking, Dungeons of Eternity brings Half-Life: Alyx style lighting tricks to Quest, and 177 scanned materials go free.
Meta ships Hologram avatars as server-side diffusion video rather than volumetric Codec Avatars, a $1M competition for VR Glasses apps, and more.
Meta VR Glasses arrive at $1,300 with a 37 PPD micro-OLED display and an off-head compute puck, plus Beat Saber's hand-tracking rewrite as Flux.
