We Are Cas and Chary

We believe that VR is becoming a full-blown entertainment system, and not only that, we believe it can improve life. Of course, VR is also just something we love being in ourselves! That is why we want to enthuse and inform others about it. By making videos we try to help push the industry forward and give it the support it deserves. We dedicate as much time as we can to create informative videos that hopefully also put a smile on your face 😉

What we do:
Mainly previews & reviews on VR hardware, games, apps, and experiences. Also: how-to videos, deep dives into the technology, and tips & tricks. We love to keep you informed on whatever’s happening in the VR world, and whilst doing that, we hope to get more people into VR too! With every video, we hope to make you enthusiastic about the possibilities and show you things to do you might not have known.

Who is this channel for?
This is a channel for everyone who wants a VR headset or owns one. But also XR enthusiasts/tech enthusiasts.

How do I support you?

By far, the biggest support you can give us is just watching the videos for free. Like our latest ones:

Google I/O 2026: The Smart Glasses Reveals Everyone's Waiting For
History is repeating itself. Just like they did with the Quest 2, Meta has officially raised the price of the Quest 3 in 2026. With regional hikes hitting Canada, Australia, and parts of Europe, the "value king" of VR is suddenly a much more expensive investment...
► The BOOX e-ink tablet I use every morning: https://shop.boox.com/?ref=vxakpuef 

In this video, we’re looking at why Meta is pulling from their old playbook and what it means for you. Is a 20% price increase on 2-year-old hardware justifiable, or is this the moment to finally look at the competition? We're weighing the Quest 3 against the upcoming Valve "Steam Frame" and the current PSVR 2 value to see if "waiting" is actually your best move this time around.

Is this corporate strategy or a sign that the VR market is shifting? Let’s get into it.

Thanks to BOOX for supporting the channel by sponsoring part of this video!
