If you've ever thought of working out in virtual reality, Alo Moves introduces a version of its app for the Meta Quest 3. Alo Moves XR is the first wellness app on Meta's platform to feature volumetric 3D-capture classes. This technique allows you to see the class from all angles. It lets you "interact" with your 3D instructors, "reposition" them and view every angle for a complete 360-degree perspective.

Alo Moves XR launches with 32 classes across yoga, pilates, and mindfulness categories. Popular instructors like yoga teacher Ashley Galvin and pilates specialist Bianca Wise are on the platform. You can expect a structured release schedule of four to five new mixed-reality yoga and pilates classes added monthly alongside weekly meditation and sound bath sessions.

Apple discontinued its iPod nano and shuffle line in 2017.

Apple considers products "obsolete" once seven years have passed since they stopped distributing them for sale.
