I like you. You're as stubborn as i am. Almost...

> the steam frame is a strictly VR headset

Yeah. Apart from that pesky passthrough. ;)

Personally I might settle on "VR" - mainly because of the amount of effort Apple and Microsoft expended to avoid every using it. That has to be a point in it's favour.

You know. I think we're both wrong. In terms of non-techie or non-insider usage "VR" *is* the blanket term. I'm not sure any other term has gained much mindshare at all. Despite how much people like me and you like to debate the finer points...

MR is the redundant one. And (aside from some fairly obscure usages) XR preceded it. So let's pretend it doesn't even exist, eh? XR = AR+VR. Simple...

I'm going to disagree on that. And "a marketing person once claimed otherwise" isn't enough to sway me.

And I'm saying "it's got passthrough so it's XR" :)

My point is that any device with passthrough is meets most reasonable definitions of "XR" - considering that's pretty much why the term was first coined. Weather it's simply monochrome or whether the manufacturer doesn't want to emphasize that use case is beside the point.

"Strictly" it's not. I might have conceded "Arguably"

Not sure why none of you thought to just ask one of us!

If we could get our hands on a headset we'd have a better shot at getting it working.

In this case it was @recroom.bsky.social but not picking on them especially.

Basically - any login that doesn't use a password manager or some other convenient way to login - especially in VR (although handheld devices also fall into this category) - is too much hassle.

Took me a while to find the link on that page. Tell your designer that your links need to look more linky. I believe the UX term is "affordance"

Christ. The irony that the first like came from some reply bot for an SEO company.
