Unpopular opinion: while the #SteamFrame is super-cool, I don't think it will make a big impact on the #VirtualReality ecosystem.

You can find my analysis here: skarredghost.com/2025/11/13/s...
Steam Frame may be great, but it may not be a game changer for XR
Valve announced the Steam Frame headset. It's surely great news, but I'm not convinced about its contribution to the big picture of XR.

The #GalaxyXR launch event has finished. To be honest, it has been pretty underwhelming. I'm happy for the launch of a new headset and a new platform, but the pace was very boring, the use cases shown already known, and the attention was more on AI than XR.
