The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (Ryujinx arm emulation) on Steam Frame standalone. The game runs at an average ~27fps in open environments, can't show that easy because there's a hefty performance hit when recording. But the game is playable'ish

The impact of AIGC on VR is fundamentally different from its impact on other platforms. For most, it’s an incremental improvement. For VR, it could be transformative.
VR has long faced a chicken-and-egg problem. A limited user base discourages content investment, while a limited content library constrains adoption.
AIGC is dramatically lowering the barrier to bringing existing games into VR. What once could take specialized teams months or even years can now, in some cases, be prototyped by a single developer over a weekend. The shift in development economics is remarkable.
We’re already seeing multiple VR mods and ports emerging every week. Even a small fraction of existing games becoming playable in VR could significantly expand the content library.
Meanwhile, advances in displays, chips, and split computing architectures are enabling lighter headsets, better visual quality, and higher performance.
For the first time, the hardware and content bottlenecks could ease simultaneously.
This could mark a structural shift for VR, from a niche gaming market toward a mainstream wearable computing platform. More importantly, it changes the economics of building for VR, potentially opening a new window for startups.

Every time you think Apple is about to give up on Vision Pro, it comes out with something that reminds you why the platform is worth paying attention to.
The newly released immersive horror short Remnants is genuinely impressive. I highly recommend it to every Vision Pro user.
A few things really stood out to me.
1. The 3D and sense of presence. The film recreates a 19th-century European castle in incredible detail, from its grand architecture and interior layout to the furniture, paintings, and decorations. The 3D looks fantastic. Actually feeling like you’re inside the castle, looking around and taking in the space, is something traditional 2D cinema simply can’t replicate.
2. The atmosphere. The rain, dim lighting, and spatial audio work beautifully together. The horror isn’t just about jump scares. It’s the entire environment that creates this constant sense of unease and tension.
3. The filmmaking. At 27 minutes, I think the length is just right. Any longer and it might actually be too much horror for me. Director Ti West is an established Hollywood horror filmmaker, best known for X and Pearl. Just like Submerged, Apple has brought in an experienced filmmaker with a strong command of cinematic storytelling to explore what’s possible with Immersive Video.
Of course, immersive filmmaking is still far from perfect. Some cuts feel abrupt, and traditional editing techniques don’t always translate naturally to a 180° immersive environment.
But after watching this, I’m more convinced than ever of one thing.
Immersive Video has the potential to deliver cinematic experiences that are fundamentally better than traditional flat-screen movies.
The question is no longer whether the medium has potential. It’s that filmmakers are still figuring out its own unique cinematic language.
Give it time. The potential here is enormous.

I can walk around life-size cars, explore their interiors, and ask the AI concierge to change the paint color with my voice.
Seeing virtual headlights shine onto my actual garage wall is still one of my favorite details.
The 3.0 update adds working headlights and rear lights, more natural door interactions, narration about each car’s history, smoother performance, and six new cars, including the Ferrari 550 Maranello, Porsche 911 GT3 RS, and Lancia Stratos.
It’s pretty amazing! Every car company should give us this option.
Houdini
En esta prueba he querido poner Claude al límite con Houdini (modelo Opus 5.5). He montado toda la escena hablándole al iPhone para ver dónde está el límite, y mi conclusión es que no hay límite. Esto que veis es donde he puesto el freno, hay cosas que corregir aún pero quiero seguir experimentando con otros proyectos.
El render ha tardado 50 horas en mi 5090 dado lo compleja que es la escena, volumétricas etc.
El color grading lo he hecho en Davinci trabajando en Aces y también lo hice hablándole al teléfono con el MCP de Davinci.
Me cuesta imaginar un futuro donde no vayamos a trabajar con esto de forma masiva.

The missing ingredient for many developers is marketing, and there are lots of different solutions for that. Funders, publishers, influencer partnerships, word of mouth, viral media, and so on. It's not at all clear how the landscape will evolve, except that it will be FAST.

This is way more in reach now with AI than ever before. The only solutions used to be building everything by hand or using proceduralism, which eventually feels cookie-cutter. I was amazed how good Astra is at building real-world building interiors.
