Uploaded December 2025 | Updated September 2026, 1 week ago
The dream of an "Open" Horizon OS is officially dead. In a massive and disappointing shakeup, Meta has reportedly put an "indefinite hold" on its third-party hardware program, meaning the Asus ROG and Lenovo headsets we were waiting for are effectively canceled. We break down why Meta is retreating to a closed ecosystem and why this is such a blow to competition.
But while Meta retreats, Google and Valve are surging forward. We dive into the massive new features coming to Android XR, including AI that turns any 2D app into 3D, and Valve's philosophy of removing friction with the Steam Frame. Plus, a game-changing update for Quest Hand Tracking, the confusing state of Codec Avatars, and the massive Coldplay VR takeover.
I Hope You Enjoy This One :D
