Half-Life: Alyx PC Version Adds Foveated Rendering With Support for Multiple VR HeadsetsValve has released a new update for Half-Life: Alyx that brings foveated rendering to the PC VR version. The feature can be enabled manually in the game's advanced performance settings, reducing GPU load and improving performance. It supports NVIDIA GTX 16 series, RTX 20 series, and newer GPUs, while AMD users need to run the game in Vulkan mode. According to Valve's setup guide, eye tracking works on headsets including Steam Frame, Meta Quest Pro, Bigscreen Beyond 2e, Apple Vision Pro, PS VR2, and Pimax via the appropriate drivers or third-party tools. The update also adds stencil buffer markers for the Steam Frame native version to improve reprojection quality, and fixes rendering crashes caused by some Workshop content as well as the "Gnome Alone" achievement failing to unlock.Half-Life: Alyx PC Version Adds Foveated Rendering With Support for Multiple VR HeadsetsValve has released a new update for Half-Life: Alyx that brings foveated rendering to the PC VR version.

Brilliant Labs Unveils Halo AI Glasses With Full-Color Micro-OLED, On-Device AI, and Open-Source ArchitectureOn October 27, Singapore-based smart glasses maker Brilliant Labs unveiled its new Halo AI glasses, priced at $399. The device features a full-color Micro-OLED display, a long-term-memory AI assistant, and an adaptive gaming experience called Narrative, with an emphasis on open-source architecture, on-device AI processing, and privacy protection. Halo runs Brilliant Labs' in-house assistant Noa, which supports real-time voice interaction and long-term memory: unlike traditional assistants that start fresh after each exchange, Noa retains conversation context, preferences, and related information, delivering increasingly personalized responses based on long-term habits. Functionality centers on three experiences: Ask, for natural-language Q&A with continuous context; Make, for creating small apps and custom workflows via voice descriptions that can be shared to the Halo app store; and Play, where the Narrative game system brings real life into the experience.Brilliant Labs Unveils Halo AI Glasses With Full-Color Micro-OLED, On-Device AI, and Open-Source ArchitectureOn October 27, Singapore-based smart glasses maker Brilliant Labs unveiled its new Halo AI glasses, priced at $399.

Mojo Vision Wins $24.4 Million US Army Grant for Monolithic Full-Color Micro-LED Near-Eye AR DisplaysMicro-LED developer Mojo Vision has been awarded $24.4 million in US government funding from the US Army to develop monolithic full-color microdisplays for near-eye AR — the company's largest government award to date. The project will build on Mojo's proprietary quantum dot color conversion technology to create an ultra-bright monolithic microdisplay solution, aiming to improve brightness and reliability while shrinking size, weight, and power for a lighter wearable experience and stronger situational awareness for warfighters. Iterations in Micro-LED fundamentals, CMOS integration, and wafer-level manufacturing will also strengthen the technology platform shared between the company's display and optical interconnect businesses. The funding is administered by the Office of the Assistant Secretary of the Army for Industrial Base Policy, with $20 million from the Industrial Base Analysis and Sustainment (IBAS) program and the remaining $4.4 million from the Army's C5ISR organization, which calls microdisplays a core component for delivering information to warfighters.Mojo Vision Wins $24.4 Million US Army Grant for Monolithic Full-Color Micro-LED Near-Eye AR DisplaysMicro-LED developer Mojo Vision has been awarded $24.4 million in US government funding from the US Army to develop monolithic full-color microdisplays for near-eye AR — the company's largest government award to date.
