The XR Week Peek (2026.03.16): Lynx is liquidating, Meta talks about the VR market at GDC, and more!

The XR Week Peek (2026.03.16): Lynx is liquidating, Meta talks about the VR market at GDC, and more!

This has been quite an interesting week to be in XR. There have been no mindblowing pieces of news, but quite a lot of things worth reading about. Probably the fact that GDC took place helped on this side, even if I heard that the event has not been as glorious as in the past. […]

HTC reassures us it is still very active in the XR business

In the last few weeks, I’ve often seen the community debating about what is the future of HTC Vive: once the market leader in VR, the company has lately been pretty silent about releasing new VR headsets.

The XR Week Peek (2026.03.03): Pico teases Project Swan headset, The8thWall goes opensource, and more!

I’m back in Italy: I’m happy to eat pasta and lasagna again, but I guess I will miss the baozi (especially the amazing ones I’ve found in Chongqing). I’m a bit tired, but quite all right. Talking about the XR ecosystem, it has not been very exciting this week, but luckily, yesterday, Pico gave us […]
