Headsets, games, apps, immersive video and the occasionally sexy side of virtual worlds. VRExtasy has been poking at VR and AR since 2015, and we still have opinions.
In 2018 you held two plastic wands. In 2026 the headset reads your fingers, a wristband reads your nerves, and an AI agent reads the room. How input changed in VR and AR, why Meta's next headset ships without controllers, and why a Chinese company is strapping cameras to people's wrists to teach robots.
