Hello everyone from Mountain View, California! I’m taking the plane quite soon, and the last thing I’ll do here in the US is write this newsletter episode to tell you the most relevant XR news of the week. This has been the week of Meta Connect, so most of this roundup will be about that […]

My exciting and embarrassing interview with Boz

My exciting and embarrassing interview with Boz

Today I’m going to tell you about the most incredible thing that happened to me during Meta Connect: I interviewed Boz, the CTO of Meta. It was surprising. It was incredible. And it was overly embarrassing. Let me tell you the full story. I already warn you that in this article you won’t discover any […]

My point of view about the Meta Connect 2026 keynote

I just got home from the keynote of Meta Connect. It’s been a busy day; I am devastated; but before going to sleep, I still feel the urge to tell you what my impressions are from today. I’m pretty sure you’ve already read all Meta’s announcements in some magazines like Road To VR. So I’m […]

The XR Week Peek (2026.09.21): Steam Frame launched for $1,059, Snap shows use cases for SPECS, and more!

It’s been a HUGE week for XR! The Steam Frame has been officially launched, and also the Snap Specs have been fully unveiled.

Steam Frame starts from $1,059/€1,049

Valve just announced the price of the Steam Frame. It costs $1,059/€1,049 for the standard 256GB version and $1,299/€1,279 for the 1TB version. The two versions are identical, they just have different storage. [Notice: the news is breaking, so forgive me if this article is written very quickly and is not super detailed!] The specs […]

This has been the week when the Unity Cube has come back into the spotlight it deserves. I updated it to the latest Meta SDK, and now it can go up to 240 Hz on Quest 3! It is the first (or one of the first) app on the Horizon Store to implement this feature. […]
