I ordered a Galaxy XR w/ controllers on the day it became available. Already got the headset, controllers said they were delayed till Nov 3rd. Then Nov 6th. Then today I got notified that they're delayed till JANUARY 8th!

They really thought nobody was gonna buy these, huh?

Built a simple Connect Four game to test the new hand microgestures in the Quest Browser. Impressed with how accurate they are, hardly any misfires or missed inputs. #threejs #WebXR

Meta Quest 3S review: probably the one we’ve been waiting for

The Quest 3S is Meta’s step-down headset from the Quest 3 but has a lot of the same features and can play all of the same games. It costs $200 less, too.

Push and throw proteins around in #webxr: https://akodiat.github.io/vrotein/. Act out your feelings towards the covid spikes protein, or any other PDB! The dynamics uses a simple spring network, inspired by @bradyajohnston (but still in need of parameterisation). Also thanks to @cabanier for helping me use unbounded spaces.

and I almost forgot that it now also supports dynamic foveation.
Previously it was limited to just 3 hardcoded levels.
This browser version also adds support for viewport scaling: https://immersive-web.github.io/webxr/#dom-xrview-requestviewportscale
This allows you to render to a smaller eye buffer which helps with performance.

Quest Browser 36.2 adds support for unbounded spaces. You can now make WebXR experiences that are bigger than your guardian space.
