The Switch 2 is real, and it looks just like the leaks said it would.

If you want to read handheld gaming thoughts this morning…playing Steam Deck and PS Portal reminded me that the Switch 2 needs upgrades badly, but the Switch’s basic form is still genius and it’s fine if the Switch 2 copies it. https://t.co/psrZD8wK4t

Commentary: The PlayStation Portal and Steam Deck make it clear to me that Nintendo needs to fix some things, but it's OK if the Switch 2 looks the same.

The glasses announced at CES look more like regular glasses than ever before. But Android XR and future Apple iOS support still needs to happen to make this category take off.
cnet.com
Commentary: Smart glasses feel more ready than they've ever been, but Android XR and Apple will be key in making them everyday wearables.

The time for an Xbox handheld is, like, now. CES thoughts from afar on a ton of Windows game handhelds and Steam OS but no movement on the Xbox software front.
cnet.com
Commentary: Microsoft wants everything to be an Xbox. How about Windows gaming handhelds? A new Xbox-on-Windows experience is coming, according to Microsoft, but it needs to get here sooner than...

The big shift in VR headsets and glasses in 2025 is going to be AI that sees what you see. I’ve been trying a few things out that are doing that…and spoke to execs at Meta and Google about what’s going to happen. A lot of questions here.
cnet.com
Mixed reality is already here, and the next step for headsets and glasses is a wave of AI that experiences it alongside us -- raising a whole new set of questions and concerns.

Trying out Live AI on Meta’s Ray-Bans feels like an end-of-year preview of the company’s 2025 glasses ambitions. I also talked to Meta’s CTO @boztank about it:

An end-of-year surprise to one of 2024's most interesting gadgets hints at where smart glasses are heading between here and Orion. Meta's Andrew Bosworth shares his thoughts with CNET on what's next.

Belkin’s is the best case I’ve seen so far, but I also appreciate the size of the Waterfield one. But Waterfield’s needs you to remove the strap before putting it in.
Got the Belkin Vision Pro case. At half the price of Apple’s - it’s a no brainer. To me, it’s more flexible, can fit the device + more straps like the Annapro, is easier to carry, is smaller overall, and has more pockets.

When I see user generated content apps like @FigminXR, I am almost URGED to imagine integrating XR into some sort of home schooling curriculum I mean LOOK AT THIS! The future generations have a great thing cooking for them

The Vision Pro’s curved Mac display is fantastic, and new head straps help it fit better. But that price needs to change
cnet.com
I go hands-on with the $3,499 AR/VR headset's new improvements. Spoiler: What it really needs is a price drop.

Omnipresent contextually-aware AI with Gemini on head-mounted MR & AR devices seems to be the biggest feature of the Android XR, Samsung Project Moohan MR, & Project Astra AR glasses demos by @jetscott. A sign of things to come w/ always-on AI everywhere: https://t.co/B9uZtqtVAi
Android XR, coming in 2025, is arriving along with a Samsung mixed reality headset and glasses after that. Editor-at-Large @jetscott tried a ton of demos, and the always-on AI that can see what amazed him.

Android XR is coming in 2025, with developer preview announced now. And Samsung’s making a Vision Pro-like headset, and glasses after that. I wore the headset and Astra prototype glasses with displays…and all-seeing Gemini AI is the center of it all.
cnet.com
We got an early hands-on look at Samsung's mixed-reality headset and Google's glasses, powered by an all-seeing assistant.

Every Theme Park Ride with a long history, such as Mupppet Vision 3D, should definitely be preserved in VR if they’re going to tear it down It’s a win-win situation for everyone involved VRChat already has some amazing Disney recreations: Journey into Imagination, for example
No mixed reality headset has done this before, but CNET’s @BridgetCarey and @jetscott make the case why Disney’s experience with VR and partnership with Apple make it possible to use Vision Pro to preserve Jim Henson’s final project, Muppet Vision 3D.
