Remember, there is a 72-hour celebration period after any Valve hardware announcement. You don't have to work during this time. You are fully entitled to spend the rest of the week reading articles, watching videos, and listening to podcasts about Steam Frame.

We're working on a new Animations section for the Learn visionOS page. The first handful of posts cover the basics of Behaviors, Timelines, and Entity Actions. We'll expand this to many more Animation topics over the next few months.
