Why it matters: Managing graphics memory has become one of the most pressing challenges facing the realm of real-time 3D rendering. As visuals become more detailed, the amount of VRAM required for modern high-end games is pushing against what average customers can afford. AMD and Nvidia are currently developing remedies to the issue, which involve shifting certain rendering tasks from memory to the GPU.

I Wish Meta and Microsoft's New Quest 3S Xbox Edition Was More Than Just a New Color

cnet.com See Full Bio 2026-03-02 10:00:00

I have major throwback memories to 2016 as I open up the limited-edition Meta Quest 3S Xbox Edition. This new VR bundle includes a black Quest 3S VR headset with Xbox green highlights, similarly colored Touch controllers and an Xbox controller, too. The original Oculus Rift headset I reviewed years ago also came with an Xbox controller inside, because back then Oculus didn't even have its VR Touch controllers yet. It was also black, not white like the current Quest headsets. It's funny how thing

At its big software event last week, Apple officially announced that support for Sony PlayStationVR2 controllers was coming to the Apple Vision Pro headset, along with other six-degrees-of-freedom spatial controller accessories. This is in addition to the Vision Pro’s primary input methods of eye and hand tracking. While interest in support for PSVR2 will no doubt center on gaming possibilities, Nathie on YouTube has given us a great first look at how interacting with visionOS works with PSVR2

Plague of Phone-Addicted Tourists Shuts Down the Louvre

gizmodo.com Aj Dellinger 2026-03-17 02:50:46

If you’re traveling to Paris in the near future, there is some bad news and some good news. The bad news: you likely won’t be able to see the Mona Lisa or any of the masterpieces hanging inside the Louvre, because it’s currently shut down. The good news: You’ll get to see a strong labor movement at work. On Monday, staff at the world’s most-visited museum went on strike, forcing the museum to close its doors over concerns about the effects of mass tourism, according to the Associated Press. The

This forgotten Google app let me explore Tokyo like an open world game, and it’s surreal

androidauthority.com Unknown 2026-03-20 10:00:12

Calvin Wankhede / Android Authority When I’m planning a trip to a new destination, I try to get a feel for the place before I leave — especially if I’m going abroad. Not that I’m trying to mitigate culture shock, but it’s helpful to know what the areas I’m visiting actually look like. I prefer knowing how walkable the area around my hotel is and what kind of restaurants are nearby ahead of time. Google Maps is of course my first choice for this task, and I’ve spent hours mindlessly tapping away

The Real Nvidia GPU Lineup: GeForce RTX 5060 is Actually a Mediocre 5050

techspot.com Tim Schiesser 2026-03-21 08:12:00

Nvidia's latest generation of graphics cards might look familiar on the surface, but dig into the specs and a different story emerges. Earlier this year, we were discussing how the GeForce RTX 5080 is actually closer to an RTX 5070 based on its hardware configuration. Since then, Nvidia has released more graphics cards, and the shrinkflation problem continues. The underwhelming RTX 5060 is effectively an RTX 5050, we're going to show you the data to back that up – and even then, it is arguably

Why it matters: Innersloth is pushing the big red button, not because they've found the imposter but because they have an awesome announcement to make. Among Us is breaking into the three-dimensional world, though this time you won't need VR headsets. The developer has announced a new title called Among Us 3D where you'll be able to play from a first-person perspective, instead of the usual top-down view of the original title. This new view is reminiscent of the Among Us VR game that launched
