The best news of the week has not been the release of a new fantastic VR headset or AR glass, but of a technology that will make a new generation of XR headsets possible: I’m talking about the XR2 chipset by Qualcomm. That is, the Quest 2 and the Vive Focus 2 may be based on this technology. Why am I so excited?

These are all very positive news for VR: the technology is slowly getting adoption and while not mainstream yet, I agree with Zuck that in 1–2 years we’ll start getting there. The technology is amazing, but I think it’s too rough to be reliably used nowadays in gaming. All of this is cool, but I think it’s also a smoke of hype.
