My brother’s response when I sent him this recording was fun:

Is that YOUR LIVING ROOM??!!!

Followed soon after by:

Oh! Faker! I was still watching this when I sent the first message.
I thought you’d bought a full cabinet game!
Pretty cool though. Although ExciteBike would be even better

If you don’t know already, this is Retrocade, as seen with the Vision Pro.  (It’s also available on iOS and iPadOS but then you don’t get a full size game cabinet in your living room!)  The cabinets are really the best part – they’re so well crafted and detailed. Note the simulated reflections from both the game graphics and from the windows and lights in my house reflecting on the cabinets and the “glass” screens.

Ah, but they need to allow placing more than one cabinet at a time and they need to let you leave them in place in your house while you use other apps, like how the VisionOS spatial widgets work.

Meanwhile… what do you do if a portal opens up to Half Life’s City 17 in your house? 🤓
