I spent the last month with the Pimax Dream Air, and I’m not sure how to feel about it. So let me walk you through it.
Pimax sent me a Dream Air after I reached out and asked them for one. I’ve tried every Pimax headset I could get my hands on, and this one is different. The screens, the audio, the comfort, the form factor. It’s the best headset Pimax has ever made. But whether any of that actually matters might be the bigger story.
In this video I break down what’s good about the Dream Air, what’s still rough, why the SE version at $899 might be the most interesting product in PCVR right now, and why none of that might be enough to overcome what people already think about Pimax.

#vr #virtualrealityThe Steam Frame Already Changed VRFix My Oculus2026-09-20 | Get Your VR Repaired: fixmyoculus.com
The Steam Frame does not have to “save VR” to matter. In this video, I break down seven ways Valve’s new standalone headset has already changed the VR industry, from giving Meta real competition again, to breathing new life into older VR games, opening the door for new hardware and accessories, giving users deeper control over the headset, and even changing the conversation around what premium VR hardware can cost.
We also get into SUPERHOT VR’s new Steam Frame update, Half-Life: Alyx running standalone, FluxPose building native Frame support, Valve’s unusually open SteamOS developer access, and why the Frame could have an impact on VR even if it never becomes the market leader.

TOZO sent me these glasses and sponsored this video, but the opinions in the video are still mine.
Smart glasses are becoming more common, but cameras and privacy are still two of the biggest things holding them back. The TOZO AIVU takes a different approach. It has a camera for real-time visual AI, but it isn't designed to save normal photos or videos.
In this video, I test the binocular green display, visual AI, notifications, teleprompter, translation, voice controls, and open-ear audio. I also compare the AIVU with the Meta Ray-Ban Display glasses and talk about the tradeoff TOZO is making between camera capture and privacy.
The display and teleprompter genuinely surprised me, but these glasses haven't completely changed my mind about smart glasses. Whether this approach makes sense really depends on what you want your smart glasses to do and whether you are willing to give up quick photos for more privacy.
Keep in mind that this is a Kickstarter campaign, so pricing, availability, and final features may change.

I got a Windows game from my Steam library running directly on a Meta Quest 3 with no gaming PC, Air Link, or Steam Link involved. In this video, I walk through the entire GameHub setup, including the weird APK download problem I ran into, connecting Steam, pairing a controller, and the exact settings that finally got Hollow Knight to launch. It is definitely rough around the edges, but it works, and that makes it a pretty interesting glimpse at what the Quest is actually capable of.

We strapped 2,000 firecrackers and smoke bombs to a Meta Quest 3S for our third annual Fourth of July explosion video, then brought the scorched remains back to the repair bench to rebuild it. In this video, we walk through the full Quest 3S repair: cleaning off the burn damage, tearing down the melted shell, diagnosing a dead screen, discovering heat-cracked lenses we've never seen before, and replacing the LCD assembly, speaker arm, and camera array to bring it back to life. After repairing over 10,000 VR headsets at Fix My Oculus, this one took the worst beating of any headset in this series. And this year, the survivor is up for grabs: if this video hits 1,000 likes, we're giving this fireworks Quest 3S away. Drop a comment to enter. If your Quest 3S or Quest 3 has damage (hopefully less extreme than this), send it in and we'll fix it: fixmyoculus.com

A "dead" Quest 3 stuck on the black screen of death showed up at the shop... and then it booted right up. Here's what was actually wrong, plus the second problem...
JayBratt sent in his Quest 3 boot looping on a black screen, green loading bar, spinning Meta logo, then nothing. Restarts, factory resets, even the desktop repair tool couldn't bring it back. By the time it hit my bench it had mysteriously come back to life, and that told me almost everything about what was really going on.
In this one we crack open the Quest 3, talk through why a black screen or boot loop is almost always a symptom and not the real problem, and track down both faults: the intermittent liquid damage hiding in the mic and volume button assembly, and an audio issue nobody saw coming.

Steam Frame just had its biggest week yet. A VR creator got hands-on with a dev kit, Valve made them take the video down, the SteamOS code quietly got updated, and a developer posted gameplay from a PCVR-class game running on the headset. Daniel and Preston break down what actually happened, what it means for launch timing, and answer some of the best Steam Frame questions and comments from our community.

Today I'm attempting the Quest 3 clear shell mod. If you've been on the VR subreddits, you've probably seen people posting their transparent Quest 3 builds, and I've been getting asked about this one for a while. Somebody actually sent me a modded unit a while back and I did a short on it, but I've never done the mod myself. In this video, I'm tearing down a Quest 3, swapping the faceplate for a clear shell, and seeing if this mod is actually worth doing or if it's just a headache.
If you grew up with transparent Gameboys, clear N64 controllers, and see-through consoles, you already know why people want this.

I spent over $1,000 of my own money on every official Meta accessory I could get my hands on for the Quest 3 and Quest 3S. No sponsorship, no free samples, just me, my credit card, and a whole lot of boxes. In this video I unbox and give my honest first impressions on all the "official" accessories I could find, from the Elite Strap with Battery to the Logitech MX Ink stylus, and figure out which ones are actually worth the money and which ones you can probably skip. This isn't a deep dive review by the way. It's just a closer look at what Meta actually sells us, what works, what doesn't, and what I'd personally spend my money on if I were starting over.

I fix a lot of scratched Quest 3 lenses. Like, a lot. And most of the time it's totally avoidable if people just used lens protectors, but the good ones run $20 to $50 a set, so most people skip them. A viewer left a comment on my recent lens refurbishment video suggesting you could make your own lens protectors out of hydrogel tablet film for a fraction of the cost. So I ordered a pack for $10 and tried it out on the bench to see if it actually works.

Someone sent in a Quest 3 for a lens refurbishment, and when I pulled it out of the bag, I couldn't believe what I was looking at. These lenses were scratched over and over again with deep, deliberate marks. This is by far the worst lens damage I've ever seen on a Quest 3.
In this video, I try to save these lenses using my full refurbishment process, wet sanding through multiple grits and finishing with Polywatch and a rotary buffer. But with damage this severe, there's a real question of whether the lenses can come back or if we'll have to pull replacements from a donor unit.
You can't just buy Quest 3 pancake lenses. The manufacturers have exclusive contracts with Meta, so when a lens is truly gone, the only option is to take one from another headset.
This one was a learning experience for me, and honestly one of the most interesting repairs I've done on camera.

There's also one battery type you should never put in your Quest controllers. It looks almost identical to a regular AA but outputs more than double the voltage. I've seen it fry controllers here at the shop more than once. Whether you're a casual player who just wants to grab something off the shelf, a regular player who wants to stop buying disposables, or a hardcore player who wants the best rechargeable experience — this video covers exactly what you need.

In this video I break down what actually happened, what judicial liquidation means for Lynx and the R2, and what a small European VR startup going under tells us about the state of the VR industry right now.

Alrighty guys, welcome back to The FMO Show. This week we've got a packed one. We're kicking things off with the Steam Frame, what it is, what Valve is actually trying to do with it, and whether it changes anything for the PCVR crowd. Then we're getting into Steam's new legal trouble, breaking down what the lawsuit is about and what it could mean for the platform long term. After that we're looking at the new Pico headset, the specs, the price, and whether it's actually a threat to Quest or just noise. And we're wrapping things up by announcing the winners from the last giveaway, so stick around because that might be you. Drop a comment below: Are you team Steam or team Meta for PCVR, and does this legal situation change your answer?This Is Harder Than It Looks. #vr #virtualreality #gamingFix My Oculus2026-03-06 | ...PICOs New Headset Isnt Trying to Beat MetaFix My Oculus2026-03-02 | 👉 ENTER OUR NEW GIVEAWAY: fixmyoculus.com/pages/glow-in-the-dark
PICO has been quiet for years. No new headsets, no big announcements, just silence while Meta, Apple, and Samsung dominated the conversation. But a GDC session listing just changed everything.
Project Swan is PICO's most ambitious headset yet, and it's not trying to compete with Meta.
Today we're going through everything we know: the hardware, the software, the price, and who this is actually built for. And by the end, I think you'll understand why this one feels different.
