Sure, here’s a rewritten version of the article with the specified style:
Ah, Mondays. Another chance for me to ramble about this week’s XR happenings, right? But first, let’s address this whole Project Moohan silence. Seriously, isn’t it strange how Google’s just… quiet? You’d think they’d be hyping it up, but hey, no updates. Maybe — just maybe — they’re keeping it low-key because, rumor has it, this thing’s gonna cost a bundle. Overpromise and then watch it flop? Nah. Maybe they’re avoiding the “VR is dead” chants when the sales don’t hit jackpot levels. Or I’m just overthinking. Who knows? Guess we’ll see soon.

Insert some super thought-provoking image here of something or another.
Meta’s Money Magic with Smartglasses
Meta spills financial beans for the last quarter — revenues climbed 5%. But hold your horses, it’s not the Quests making it rain; it’s those fancy Ray-Ban Meta glasses driving the cash flow. Think hotcakes, but techy. Luxottica’s pumping out more to keep up. Get this: they’re selling three times more than last year! Artillery Intelligence tells us 600K Ray-Bans outdid Quest sales. Feels like we’re swapping reality cycles, huh? Everyone’s buying Quest 3S for games, not mixed reality stuff. I mean, what’s even out there worth the hype? Maybe that’s why Quest 4’s design got tossed.
Everyone’s betting on smarter glasses, lighter, cooler — those things. Meta’s all in, saying glasses with AI are game-changers. Think future-superhumans! Zuckerberg swears they’re the metaverse’s golden path. Said the M-word again… daring. Will these glasses catch fire or fizzle out? Time will tell.

Another picture, probably of something techy or shiny.
Short and Sweet: VR’s Perfect Time
Meta threw out a blog piece that’s all the rage: VR sessions, ideally 20 to 40 minutes. Apparently, shorter’s a drag for setup, longer’s a headache, literally. Makes sense — who needs a forehead migraine? Something about developers chopping experiences into bite-sized chunks for less hassle, more fun. Mobile game makers, heads up, what works there might bomb in VR. Just saying.
Hey, Brilliant Labs Dropped Halo Specs!
Brilliant Labs teased its Halo smartglasses. Weighs less than a pack of gum, lasts practically all day. AI assistant, Noa, tags along to help out — remembers stuff about you too. Privacy’s key, or so they claim (fancy math magic instead of raw data). Open-source, $299; they’ve got my order, mainly for some AI tinkering.
Miscellaneous Mush: Blink-and-You-Miss-It News
- Meta and Stanford are playing with ultra-thin XR glasses, but don’t hold your breath hardcore fans, it’s a long way out.
