Halo firmware 0.8.20 traces a post-standby display and camera failure to a glitch on a shared I2C bus, adds 6 dB to phone audio, and trims echo. Brilliant Labs’ 1,000-cycle test covers one unit, and the notes give no count of affected glasses.
Godot 4.8 beta 1 freezes features with Apple Vision Pro hand tracking and PS VR2 Sense controller support on the engine’s standard XR nodes. It is still a beta with no stable date, and the visionOS module shipped for the Mobile renderer only.
Release 2610.15.2 of the R.E.A.L. VR framework adds GTA V Enhanced, four years after a Take-Two DMCA notice pulled Luke Ross’s original mod. It is early access, has no motion controls, needs BattlEye disabled, and needed a hotfix a day later.
Quest Browser 152.1 adds experimental WebGPU composition layers for WebXR behind a chrome://flags switch, after space-warp in 149.1 and foveation in 150.1. The W3C binding is still an Editor’s Draft, and developers are still falling back to WebGL.
A peer-reviewed Pitt case report describes the first skull base neurosurgery with Apple Vision Pro: no complications, but one video stream, 64 minutes of setup, a roughly 90-minute stock battery and no measured latency.
Museum of Ages labels each of its 17 stops documented, reconstructed, conjectural or not known. Only 14 of its 24 picture-room attributions are documented, and phones get filmed machines instead of live renders.
Tether’s 254M-parameter QVAC TranscribePsy runs speech recognition on phones and is pitched at smart glasses, but the release is batch-only, names no glasses partner, and its benchmarks are self-reported.
The $7.98 SteamVR overlay vrOS shipped playtest builds 2.1.0, 2.2.0 and 2.3.0 between October 13 and 16, swapping camera-based Steam Frame tracker alignment for a walk-based ±2 cm room lock and then patching a 10 cm drift after tracking loss, while its own docs still call the native Frame build unreleased.
VRChat’s 2026.4.1 open beta adds a Safety Center and a plan to replace account suspensions with feature-level restrictions and in-client appeals. The backend is not live, so every tester sees ‘Account Standing: Good’, and two patch builds in seven days fixed calibration and OSC bugs.
FOX put No. 4 Ohio State at No. 5 Indiana in its FOX Sports XR app for Samsung Galaxy XR and in Cosm domes. It is at least the ninth live event FOX has promoted for the app in 2026, but the network still publishes no schedule, no stream specs and no list of qualifying TV providers.
