The XR Weekly Overview (April 15, 2025): Potential XR Headset Tariff Elimination, Vision Pro 2 Production Hints, and More!

Certainly! Let’s dive into the latest buzz in the tech world, particularly focusing on players like Apple, Meta, Google, and Valve. We have a lot to catch up on, so be sure to stick around until the end where we’ve got some exciting mixed reality game keys to give away! And as always, feel free to check out my latest piece discussing the XR scene in China and my upcoming adventure in Shanghai.

Headsets May Escape the US Tariff Trap

The story around US tariffs remains a swirling confusion with updates seemingly every few days. It’s a bit unclear just how XR headsets might be impacted, so most companies are cautiously waiting for clarity. Pimax and BigScreen, however, have taken a stand, trying to shield their users from any potential cost hikes. BigScreen is entirely absorbing the hit, whereas Pimax will be adding a modest regional fee of $75-$95 for US buyers. It’s great to see companies striving to keep prices in check because lower prices mean more headsets in the hands of consumers. Even better, it seems like tariffs on XR headsets are being removed, according to sources at Upload VR. While that’s cause for cautious optimism, we should keep an eye on potential tariffs on electronic chips as they might ruffle our industry in other ways.

Other Noteworthy News

Apple’s Vision Pro 2 and the Quest for AR Glasses

The debut of Apple’s Vision Pro put an end to many wild speculations. But now, the rumor mill is back in full swing with talks of the Vision Pro 2. According to a Chinese source, the Vision Pro 2 is in production, and Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman adds that Apple may be producing two headsets, including a lighter and cheaper one. More intriguing is Gurman’s note that Apple’s CEO is heavily focused on AR glasses, keen on outpacing Meta in this race. It seems AR is where the future clashes will occur.

Valve’s Deckard Developments

Our trusted source, Brad Lynch, reports that Valve is importing equipment in preparation for manufacturing VR headset facial interfaces in the US. This move suggests that Valve is getting serious about its upcoming Deckard headset, edging closer to production and a potential launch announcement soon.

Google and Samsung’s 2026 Glasses Vision

Murmurs have it that Google and Samsung are forging ahead with XR projects, including a mixed reality headset due this year and a pair of XR glasses slated for 2026. They seem to have pivoted from earlier plans, opting for a more technologically ambitious model that integrates displays and cameras. I think it makes sense to take their time with this, especially with Meta’s anticipated release.

AltspaceVR Makes a Comeback

Unexpectedly, AltspaceVR is seeing a revival thanks to Danny Mac (McLellan), who’s breathing new life into the beloved social VR space. He aims to nurture a vibrant community while offering creative tools. This is an exciting revival, though plenty of questions about the project’s development and funding remain.
