I’d say this product is dead. It doesn’t even get the attention the Apple TV gets or HomePods. It’s just bad sadly

I don’t think a x.1 update is very telling of the bigger picture. VisionOS 27 will be more telling.

You need to take a closer look at 26.4, it included a foverated streaming API, which is used by KRVR.app to finally bring decent PCVR support. Last month the 2D version of Steam streaming came to the platform and I expect we will see full SteamVR support later this year, as all the foundational parts have fallen into place in the last couple of months.

It looks like AVP is about to become the best PCVR headset, which will be the gateway to people exploring the wider platform.

I ordered one last week and it should be here on Friday.

There is no bigger picture except the scrapyard for the AVP!
