This Fall, I am running a workshop series with @TAMUpvfa's Institute For Applied Creativity exploring live performance and genAI
Every Monday night, Dance, Theater, Music, and Viz students come together to create short experimental works in a 360 projection cylinder

More of my new virtual abstract painting called 'Pesky Varmint'. It's a bit unruly and mischievous; bright in palette & kinetic in gesture, brushstrokes that gyrate, oscillate & pulse, creating a disruptive energy. Made with #OpenBrush #VRart #vab #PaintRave #AlisonGoodyear

@GabRoXR @VIVERSEofficial Woohoo! Delighted to have you working with us!

2026 is going to be exciting 😉
I am joining @VIVERSEofficial as Strategic Marketing Advisor.
We all know the web is the future of creation and distribution, and VIVERSE is building an open, browser-based #3D universe where creators, developers, and storytellers can publish, showcase, and monetise their work across devices.
I already had the chance to experience firsthand some of the polished experiences on the platform. From interactive worlds built on Gaussian Splatting, to Immersive stories you can experience in a headset, to addictive mobile games... and more recently even video content🤯.
I’m looking forward to helping unlock new opportunities for creators and shape how immersive content is created, distributed, and monetised on the open #web.

@mingjyunhung This is awesome @mingjyunhung ! You should bring it to VIVERSE.com, we'd love to have your work on the platform!

yes, my previous devlog mentioned it :)
i had to fork it and heavily let claude modify it to fit into my game though!
It really got me up and running in the first day but i am not developing for the viverse and the character is not a VRM so i had to fork and patch a lot of issues with mixamo FBX (root motion issues, rotational problems)
the physics implementation was also assuming a lot of facts which are not true in my game:
- it **always** applies gravity to the player, which should not happen when i'm e.g. climbing a ladder
- i need to be able to modify the internal physics state, which is not exposed from it
and a lot of other small stuff
Will contribute back to the library where it makes sense and once my implementations are stable

@DavidMcBacon @framer So cool @DavidMcBacon! Keep us updated on development; so excited you are building with pmndrs/viverse!

Upgraded my Framer Room scene to new tech and it's absolutely ridiculous now.
Audio reactive shaders, DJ ape, dancing apes, the whole party vibe.
Should I submit this to @framer awards? You guys win on design, I compete on "what the hell is even possible in Framer" 😅

I tried it right away.
Uploading from Openbrush is surprisingly easy. Objects uploaded to VIVERSE faithfully reflect effects, image quality, and textures—I was truly impressed by this amazing feature!
Thank you for the best Christmas present ever 🎅🙏

Seeing @cursor_ai open its browser, pass input to @felix_trz's #WebXR emulator for @meta IWSDK, then read the console and take screenshots to test @threejs code by @claudeai Opus 4.5 for my @VIVERSEofficial mixed reality game 👀
I do enough headset debug reps - this is the way
