Quest 3 was the fourth most used VR headset on Steam in December, surpassing the original HTC Vive. The data point comes from the Steam Hardware & Software Survey. It's offered to a random sample of Steam’s user base each month. If you accept, it uploads a list of your PC specs and peripherals to Valve, as well as any headset used on SteamVR in the past month.

2024 is here, and following my own extensive coverage last year, it seems that certain technology giants are aiming to reinvigorate mainstream XR with a range of new solutions and hardware. Apple was a significant headline stealer last year after the firm unveiled its Vision Pro headset at WWDC 2023. The firm slated the MR/VR headset’s debut for early 2024, and while Apple has yet to announce an official release date, the firm is putting the pieces together for an upcoming debut.

Seagate's IronWolf Pro lineup of hard drives for network-attached storage units has consistently offered good value for money, particularly at the highest capacity points. I purchased two 22TB IronWolf Pro drives for production deployment late last year. As part of the burn-in testing prior to actual deployment, they were put through our evaluation routine for direct-attached storage drives in both internal and external (Thunderbolt 3 DAS) modes.

To avoid awkward and sometimes disastrous learning content, instructional designers must use authentic translation in the right context to get optimal results. For example, even a simple phrase like “got milk” translates to “are you lactating” in Mexico. Can you imagine what a straight translation might do to your course? With over 317 million people in the US and over 6.7 billion potential customers in the world, personalizing training seems logical.

The design details of the optional top strap of Apple Vision Pro were revealed in a patent. In one shot of Apple's Vision Pro introduction video from June, a side-to-side top strap was visible, and we used this top strap in our hands-on demo. The top strap on XR headsets better supports the headset's weight, avoiding the feeling of it pushing down on your face.

If you’re anything like the countless other investors in the tech market, you might be asking, “Why is Nvidia stock going up?” After a somewhat problematic year in 2022 , Nvidia soared into the spotlight throughout 2023. In May, the company posted a blowout earnings report; thanks mainly to its investment in Generative AI solutions like ChatGPT, Nvidia has continued to grow.

Meta is removing the TV casting capability from Quest. Quest headsets had been able to cast the wearer's view to devices that support the Google Cast protocol, such as Google TV sticks, Chromecast sticks, TVs with Chromecast built-in, and Android TV boxes, since the original Oculus Quest in 2019 - and even before that with the Oculus Go. It was incredibly useful for demoing VR, social pass-and-play sessions, or just keeping others in the room engaged with what you're doing.

Hey there, Hypergrid Business readers. It’s the new year, and I’m moving my office and cleaning up, and have a few VR headsets sitting around that I’d like to get rid of. They work, are hardly used, and one is even in its original — UNOPENED — box. If you’re in the western Massachusetts area, and want to meet up, I can give you a free VR headset.
