It looks like many of you enjoyed our concise analysis of 3DHead. While we had a bit of fun with the company’s massive gaming helmet (making sure here that we don’t confuse it with an actual VR headset), we didn’t arrive at our conclusion lazily. We tested the unit and spoke directly with the company’s COO to try to get a sense of whether or not the folks involved were delusional about their “Oculus Killer” claim or just being dishonest. It seems to be the latter.

Correction: Meta Did Not Publish Active User Figures for VR Fitness App ‘Supernatural’

Correction (January 9th, 2025 – 5:31PM ET): A previous version of this article reported that Meta had revealed that Meta’s VR fitness app Supernatural had reached 110,000 active users. This report was incorrect.

Meta reached out to inform Road to VR that the “110,000 people” figure mentioned in this blog post was not the active user numbers for the Supernatural app, but actually a count of the Official Supernatural Community on Facebook. Meta updated the language in its blog post to prevent any further confusion.

As such, we have archived the original version of this report and removed it from the front (page by setting its publishing date back to 2015) but this correction will remain here for posterity.
