To anyone not following VR closely, it may seem like VR is dead again. Yet a new chapter has quietly begun. I wrote a long deep dive on why. Read it here 👇

medium.com Prelude to the Second XR War: Meta, PICO, VR Glasses, and Split-Architecture Headset While we wait for the next Vision Pro, Meta and PICO may already have the answer.

To most people, VR has always had two big problems:

1. Headsets are too heavy. Split designs are finally solving that.

2. Why wear one? VR already has plenty of experiences people love and keep coming back for.

The pieces are finally coming together.

But here’s a more interesting question:

If Meta VR Glasses are what Vision Pro 2 should have been, what should the real Vision Pro 2 look like?

Taking a bit longer with my PROLED MacBook Pro review (spoiler: it's really good) but in the meantime, I got hands on with Meta's newest VR Glasses and they are also GOOD: youtu.be/_x58r9TBois

I partly agree.

1. I’ve seen plenty of people enter VR who probably weren’t suited for it, and would’ve found better opportunities elsewhere.

2. I’ve also seen people enter and do very well. Even in a gloomy 2026, I know people who’ve made great returns.

3. Let's stay optimistic. The future is always full of surprises. We never know who might hit the next jackpot.

I am begging people working in VR to leave to an industry like robotics. I spent 10 years of my life in VR getting kicked in the face. The first startup I did outside of VR was successful.

Talented people in VR, stuck there due to a cult like reverence for what could have been.

No doubt Valve still believes in VR.

Steam Frame has been criticized for its price and specs. But I think its biggest strength is being overlooked. It’s an open platform.

From hardware to software, Steam Frame has already inspired many unexpected ideas from the community, including playing games across different platforms, turning traditional games into VR games, and creating hardware mods.

For the VR industry, Steam Frame may have opened a new door.

Valve had some pretty candid comments about how they see VR

Talking about how Steam Frame is only a small piece of the much larger VR ecosystem they want to support

And how users are already using Steam Frame to play regular games rather than just VR-only games

Just tried VRCFluid in VRChat. Real-time fluid simulation with up to a million particles, right inside VRChat. Pretty amazing!

One of my favorite things about VRChat is jumping in to see what talented creators have come up with next.

It reminds me of exploring the internet back in 1999. You never know what incredible new thing you’ll stumble upon.
