    The Apple Vision Pro is getting foveated streaming, which is Valve’s fancy trick for the Steam Frame.

    I was impressed with foveated streaming on the Steam Frame, which, when you’re interacting with games streamed to the headset, renders what’s right in front of your eyes at the highest fidelity. I hope it’s just as good on the Vision Pro.

    Apple announced visionOS’s foveated streaming as part of the first developer beta for visionOS 26.4.

    Disney accuses Bytedance’s new AI video model of infringing on its characters.

    In a cease and desist letter, Disney includes examples of the new Seedance 2.0 model making videos featuring characters like Spider-Man and Darth Vader, according to Axios. “ByteDance is hijacking Disney’s characters by reproducing, distributing, and creating derivative works featuring those characters,” Disney’s attorney said.
