Supernatural is $19/month, and in VR scale has a fairly significant audience. There are very few successful monthly subscription services in VR, and only one at this price point.

Meta acquires Within, the company behind VR fitness game Supernatural; Within will continue working on the game and help Meta improve future VR hardware

The company already owns Beat Saber  —  Meta has announced that the studio behind VR workout game Supernatural will be joining the company …

Back in April of 2020, when Supernatural first started getting some buzz, the Facebook-owned Beat Saber released the track Fitbeat in response. It was super clear this single track was released as a reaction to Supernatural, but it was not enough to detract from this success.

Whether because of the pandemic or because it's genuinely a great platform, Supernatural continued to grow despite being the most expensive monthly fitness service by a considerable margin. Facebook couldn't compete with this, so it acquired Supernatural instead.

I dig how lightweight and compact this headset is, and I like being able to just use a headset wherever and have it “just work” but this is NOT a gaming platform like you'd see from HTC in the past. It's for a whole new kind of VR user, one I'm not sure truly exists yet. https://twitter.com/...

HTC announces $499 Vive Flow, a VR headset that requires an external battery and uses an Android phone as a wireless controller, available in November

Adi Robertson / The Verge :

First and foremost - these lens diopters in the Vive Flow are 100% life changing for me. I don't need my prescription lenses, and I don't need special prescription inserts. I just turn these dials until the text is clear, and I'm good to go. https://www.cnet.com/... https://twitter.com/...

The “true wireless earbud” world has gotten very competitive in the last two years. Google's efforts in maintaining a budget line of gadgets is probably a good move, but I wonder what the “instant buy” price threshold is for stuff like this right now. https://twitter.com/...

By the end of the year the VR market will essentially be: Enterprise: HTC Standalone: Oculus Gaming: PSVR2 With not a ton of overlap, IMO. Facebook has ceded ground to HTC, and the people who are going to buy a new PSVR either already own a Quest or were never going to buy one.
