Reflecting in Tokyo with my time off...
Thought hard on what happened to VR industry this past month... This is a long read:
I've been in VR since 2013 when I first helped start up Survios. You can imagine how the Meta VR fallout devastated me in really unique ways.

I'm wondering if there is a Steam Frame capability that maybe spooked Meta where they can't close some sort of technological gap in a reasonable product cycle...

If Meta is indeed shifting away from VR and layoffs in those teams are any indication... then that’s a tough moment for the medium.
This is a prediction I made over a year ago that I hoped it wouldn’t come true:

The Meta Quest is the bridge to the Orion Platform ‼️
Meta, Google, and Apple are playing to win the Platform❗️
Quest as a product design is NOT the Platform🗣️
What happens to a product modeled after a Nintendo Switch suddenly shifts gears toward a Mobile App Store structure?

New Years Eve has me think on my past.
10 years ago my demo for Oculus DK2 exhibited at SVVR-
"Project Jump Scare"
After working on many VR titles this past decade I've made a resolution to make Project Jump Scare ship in 2026.
May your own dreams come true.
Happy New Year all!

Meta Start Hackathon results are out!
Didn’t take the hand interaction prize, but the locomotion system performed well enough that it’s now the primary locomotion method for our Apple Vision Pro build.
Thanks to everyone who followed along and shared feedback.

One of the biggest mistakes I've made in my career is repeatedly helping big corporate employees without any form of compensation.
Be aware who you help and why they need you to solve their lack of capability. Negotiate at the very start.
Thankless types to say the least.

Final submission for the Meta Horizon Start Developer Competition 2025!
Solved a recurring XR design problem using a unified input abstraction layer that adapts locomotion systems across:
•Meta Quest hand tracking
•VisionOS gesture input
•iOS touch
•PC / mouse / gamepad

How's the Project Jump Scare desktop build looking Chat?
Frame rate from VR optimizations should make this run well even on Deck. We'll see!

$750 rumor is high for Steam Machine. Too high. Feel similar to when I heard PSVR 2 price point. Didn't fit market.
But I also don't think people are realizing the memory shortage issue. Consoles / PCs might continually spike as AI eats all ram.
Like ongoing YoY adjustments 🫠

Think of a window FRAME. 🪟
Half Life was VR- you simply observed it through a FLAT window. Monitors had no parallex or depth.
But it was always VR!
What is it to peer through a window Frame?
What is traditional gaming in 3D? Not stereoscopic tricks, but with parallax?
