ALVR with PSVR 2 Sense Controllers really work together smoothly. Half-Life: Alyx looks great. I was using the Surreal Touch controllers with Surreal Link which I still like for many reasons but without system level integration I think they need to be retired unfortunately.

After using the Backbone Pro more, I completely see the reason for Apple’s Game app. It’s really designed for this.

Battle of Hoth between Rogue Squadron & Shadows of the Empire. Who did it better? :)

Oh man it looks beautiful. Thankful for the restocks 😂

The Gallery Ep 1, especially Ep 2 & FORM are gems.

Yes! just tried and played for about and hour it was smooth. 😭 no more iPadOS Steam Link app.

Backbone Pro is also very well made. Surprised by the app for managing it, connecting to different devices and integration with the controller.

They can be viewed in the Photos app and yea Panoramas through the Photos Widget are trippy. Like looking through a window.
November 21, 2025 at 1:19 AM
Oh and they’re not spatial (stereo)(iPhone panoramas) nor can they be converted to a spatial photo or scene (at least through Photos).
November 20, 2025 at 9:07 PM
Not yet. Hopefully someday. iPhone Panoramas is another format I’m revisiting. Panoramas I took from 2016 on iPhone 6S hold up. Various settings today on a iPhone Pro models can be 360° (or really close to it) but not spherical ofc.

aw hell yea! Thank you for the follow up 🙏. Will try it again see how it performs.

I feel your pain Scott 😡
November 20, 2025 at 2:06 PM
yea, I hope they are cooking on something. Got to be. It is so obvious.

I literally (and finally) just ordered the Backbone Pro, but this looked so so tempting and I haven't even played DS2 yet.

Shame they never finished this trilogy :(
Love the Blu-Ray release & package design.
