Vision Pro Gets Eye‐Tracked Cloud VR Boost

Vision Pro Gets Eye‐Tracked Cloud VR Boost

Promo for Quest games, Titan Isle on PSVR 2, native YouTube on visionOS

February 19, 2026

XR = eXtended Reality (everything VR, AR, MR)

📣 If you only read one thing today 📣

😮 Meta and EssilorLuxottica’s Ray-Ban and Oakley smart glasses line surpassed seven million units sold in 2025, more than tripling its previous total.

📢 This shows AR wearables are moving from experimental gadgets into real consumer products, giving the smart-glasses category its first true mass-market traction.

🕶 And it signals that everyday AR glasses are no longer theoretical - a larger user base means better apps, faster iteration, and a much stronger ecosystem around wearable XR.

🥳 But there’s more:

🎖️ Battlefield-style VR shooter Forefront is heading to PSVR 2 with 32-player cross-play.

🎤 A record-breaking 156,716 concurrent users packed into VRChat to attend Kaguya’s Sanrio Virtual Festival concert.

🏃 Virtuix’s Omni One VR treadmill is being positioned for official Quest headset support.
