I was expecting December to be a quiet month in XR development, but then Google dropped its Android XR bombshell. Turns out however that everyone decided to take it slow in January instead. So, this month is by far the shortest edition so far, as we wait for the ramp
Here I was thinking it would be a quiet December, when Google decided to announce Android XR. Long rumoured, finally announced, but still a long way from being in the hands of consumers, I find it hard to guess what impact it will have. However it turns out though, more
Although we're approaching the end of the year, the world of XR is still pushing out developer news at full speed. While Meta was pretty quiet, others like Snap and Pico filled the void. Read on for a complete overview! I'll be at Immersive Tech Week
We're past Meta Connect, but we're still very much in peak XR season, as the holiday period is still a while away. Meta is blasting out news as always (spending a billion a month will have that effect), but Snap and Niantic are also quite active

It's summer and things are a bit quiet, which is nice considering what seems to be in store for us in XR in the next three months. Obviously Meta Connect at the end of September is the peak of XR season, but Snap, Google & Samsung and HTC
As we're heading into the summer period, the XR developer news cycle notably slowed down. As a result this month's edition is a bit shorter than usual (also because I'm publishing a week earlier because of vacation plans). Still, there are some interesting bits
After mid-June's special edition on WWDC, it's time for another regular monthly roundup of XR developer news. But with Augmented World Expo last week, if definitely wasn't quiet. Throughout this edition you'll find several references to the most interesting AWE presentations on
Apple's WWDC contained a ton of visionOS 2 updates for XR developers, spread across no less than 29 separate prerecorded sessions which became available throughout the week. I've gone through all of them to sort out the most interest news and figure out which ones are
Somehow this month felt like a slower month in XR developer news, and I think that was mainly due to Google I/O being very very light on XR. There was some interesting AR news there, but we'll have to keep waiting for a while longer to see
