Presence in VR should show tiny people, not user avatars (2022)

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-09-21 08:49:25

Since picking up a virtual reality headset a couple weeks ago, I’ve been asking myself: how should the future operating system for apps work? Like: how do you write docs? How do you collaborate on a deck? How do you launch your messaging app? Games are easy because they get to be weird. But for apps you need standard behaviours. So I’m trying to think through this from first principles and see what comes to mind… ALSO keep in mind that I have become obsessed with the overview mode in Walkabou

Beats has been a household name in headphones for years, known for punchy bass and bold styling. The Powerbeats Pro 2 (9/10, WIRED Recommends) use ergonomic over-ear hooks to stay absolutely secure in your ears when you're running, lifting, or just walking the dog. They're usually a little expensive at $250, but Amazon has them marked down to just $200 in a variety of colors.

These Headphones With Bose Sound and 100 Hours of Battery Won’t Destroy Your Wallet

I’m a fan of Bose audio. In recent memory, I’ve tried Bose’s SoundLink Plus, a portable Bluetooth speaker with big sound and a great (grassy) look; the second-gen QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds with their ridiculously good ANC; and its Ultra Open Earbuds, probably the best pair of open earbuds I’ve used to date. That being said, there’s one thing that I don’t love about Bose products, and that’s the premium pricing. Nearly $300 for a Bluetooth speaker is a lot, and so is $300 for a pair of wireless

Valve’s Steam Deck for Your Face Is Way More Interesting Than a Quest Clone

The consensus is clear. Regular folk and gamers alike couldn’t give a hoot for yet another Meta Quest-like VR headset. Hell, even the “metaverse is the future” company Meta seems more interested in smart glasses than headsets nowadays. That may change if Valve has anything to say about it. Even if you’re not a VR gaming enthusiast, there’s more than one reason you should pay attention to Valve’s long-rumored wireless XR headset.
