## What VR Eddie is

A consumer-facing VR platform with three pillars:

1. **Reviews & recommendations** — every shipping consumer headset benched,
   rated, and matched to a real-world use case (gaming, fitness, business,
   simulation, mixed reality).
2. **VR Eddie Labs** — interactive WebXR experiences that anyone can try
   in their browser. Latest: a Mixed-Reality Hoverboard playable on Quest 3
   passthrough, Vision Pro AR, and desktop browsers (no app required).
3. **Real-time signal** — AI agents monitor 50+ news sources, retailer
   pricing, and forum chatter so the editorial recommendations stay
   current to the day.

## Why journalists cover us

- **First-of-its-kind**: the WebXR Mixed-Reality Hoverboard is one of the
  earliest browser-delivered MR experiences playable on both Quest 3 and
  Vision Pro from the same URL.
- **Real human + real automation**: editorial voice from a 10-year VR
  industry veteran, paired with AI agents auditing 50+ sources per day.
- **Open + transparent**: every headset rating links to the source data;
  every affiliate link discloses commission terms; every Lab build is
  open-source on GitHub.

## Audience

- ~4,000 active community members across newsletter + social
- ~2,000 newsletter subscribers (weekly cadence)
- Audience skews technical-curious adults (25–55) shopping their first or
  second headset — the segment most underserved by spec-sheet-only review
  sites.

## Mixed-Reality Hoverboard launch (2026-05-08)

- **Public URL:** https://www.vreddie.com/labs/hoverboard
- **Tech:** WebXR + Three.js, deployed via Vercel; open-source build at

- **Devices supported:** Meta Quest 3 / 3S (passthrough mixed reality),
  Apple Vision Pro (AR with hand-tracking + DOM overlay), modern desktop
  browsers (fly-around fallback with mouse, keyboard, gamepad)
