    I would love to see a single confirmed screenshot through the Vision Pro’s lenses.

    We’ll hopefully soon have reports from journalists who’ve actually tried it — but no headset has yet delivered a “you can see whatever you’d see with your eyes” panoramic experience.

    Never keeps ‘em from producing these marketing renders to make it seem like they do. Microsoft’s first HoloLens was a particularly bad offender: with VR instead of AR tech, Apple’s FOV should be much better.

    Don’t expect Sony’s Q handheld to stream cloud games anytime soon.

    Sony CEO Kenichiro Yoshida hinted to the Financial Times that it’s still in the studying phase re: cloud gaming, due to the “technical difficulties” of streaming games over the internet.

    Wait, doesn’t Sony already have a cloud gaming service? Kinda, but I suspect he’s talking about this new one!

    You can spell “banana” by drawing a banana.

    Also: cloud, plane, oval, and left. What else?

    (It appears some of these swipe type pictograms were uncovered in 2019 by a “Jack Lance,” who, I’m reading, was quite the puzzler.)

    Will one of the CD-ROM’s original killer apps tempt you to VR?

    You know Myst, but do you remember the CD-ROM’s other killer app? The 7th Guest is now 30 years old, and it’s getting remade in 3D for the first time to sell you on Meta’s Quest 2 (and just-announced Quest 3) headsets. It’ll still have something akin to full-motion video for its actors, too: volumetric video capture.

    This may be your last chance to report ISPs who are lying about service at your address.

    It happened to me, and the stakes are higher today than ever before — the FCC’s latest broadband maps, released today, will help determine where $41.6B in federal funding goes. The NTIA, which dishes out the dollars, says it’s “confident that with this data as a baseline, we will be able to effectively allocate funds by the end of June.”

    Check the map for lies. Tell a friend.
