    Apple has set the bar for UX on a standalone headset. As soon as the company can get the same experience into a smaller and cheaper package, it’s going to become significantly more appealing to a wider range of people. Apple has billed Vision Pro as “tomorrow’s technology, today.” And frankly, that feels pretty accurate if we’re talking about the headset’s core user experience, which is far beyond other products on the market. Vision Pro is simple and intuitive to use.

    While Meta’s Quest has always relied heavily on cameras for tracking location of the headset, controllers, and the world around the user, developers haven’t had the same privileged access to the headset’s cameras.

    In a rare move, Apple is directly adding support for its visionOS platform to the Godot open-source game engine.

    GHOST TOWN is the latest VR game to launch from Fireproof Games, a studio whose previous title, The Room: A Dark Matter, is one of the best and most rated VR puzzle games to date. Ghost Town is now available on Quest 2 and Quest 3 headsets, and is planned to launch on PC VR and PSVR 2 later this year. The game is a departure from the studio’s long-running The Room series, but continues its focus on puzzle and narrative gameplay.
