I will be speaking at ⁦@siggraph⁩ Thursday at 10:15, come talk to me about being a crash test dummy for ⁦@AgileLens⁩ new platform that allows one actor to use multiple bodies! dropbox.com/scl/fi/ae3ydu8…

Very excited to host @xractor and @DebbieDeerProds at the Next Stage Immersive Summit this June to talk about their work at York University: live performance + XR + an amazingly talented group of IPBOC artists + a commitment to access, environmentalism, and diversity!

@_rygo6 Great observation, I agree. There are some studies from the Stanford VR lab about avatars and embodiment that support your assertions but it’s clear we are just scratching the surface.

I really wish there was a VR study attempting to quantify how much full body tracking and a well fit avatar effects immersion and VR sickness. As from my experience, and what I have heard for multiple others, is that getting full body tracking and an avatar that fits well...

@PeterJCasaey I wanna go to that VRchat world

Had a dream where I joined a secrete underground society school that trained to fight interdimentional beings. My sword was sentient, his name was Mhòr. Booger throwing giants captured it, and replaced my sword with mimics.

@MyklRogers @Halfbrick I’d love to see a VR fight league. Since TOTF is a realistic boxing simulator, any ideas for encouraging pvp players to use correct boxing form instead of crazy arm flailing? (*cough*VFC)

@Halfbrick Additionally: Excited to get multiplayer. Will we see a VR fight league? Or an option to stadium watch other live fights?

Halfbrick will be co-developing Thrill of the Fight 2 with the original creator, Ian Fitz, at every step until launch and beyond. Find out more 🎞️ halfbrick.link/HBB_TOTF2 #TOTF2 #TOTF #VR #boxing #vrsports

@Halfbrick I teach VR as a career, and TOTF is the only VR game I still play regularly since the first time I tried it in 2017. I am so excited that @Halfbrick has joined with Ian to make the sequel, I’m so glad my favorite VR game is in good hands. Mixed reality boxing league, anyone? :)

@iragreenberg I think as a way of only creating 2d images you might be right. But perhaps by combining new tools that combine AI set (environment) and costume (avatar) design with spatial audio and generative branching narratives this could finally achieve the dream of the “gesamtkunswerk”

When PhotoShop was originally released it fundamentally changed imaging; since then, it’s been a steady, but much less dramatic, evolution. I think we’ll see a similar pattern with AI imaging. What ya think?

@SpacePenguinUSA @xlr8harder Needs more eyes

Biblically accurate Clippy

@afox1984 @benz145 I support your keyboard-less iterations

@benz145 Yeah I guess 😅 but I figured we’d need an alternative option. I’d prefer not to always have to have phone in hand just to send a quick message/google search

This will probably be the best AR text input scheme for years to come. @afox1984

@OpenBCI boxing simulators

Work at #OpenBCI mixes gaming and science. The team tested a driving #simulation demo with #Galea in order to monitor stress levels, heart rate variability, and eye tracking in a realistic driving environment. What would be your go-to game that you’d want to try with Galea?

This is the future for #xr #theatre and even #therapy. So much of how we make sense of what people are saying is actually based in subconscious movements like these “micro-expressions” that we only perceive as passing emotions or instincts we can’t normally explain rationally.

@HexaField @SocialXR @ethereal_engine @xr_engine Excited for this…

Spent today bringing full body IK to @ethereal_engine @xr_engine #EtherealEngine #threejs #IK #fullbody #metaverse #VR #AR #XR #WebXR #avatar

@failedtorender Great to see this legendary venue live on in the Metaverse!

Join us in celebrating the Brainwash and Mike E. Winfield's Golden Buzzer Winner On Thursday, January 26 at 9PM PST, 11PM CST, and Midnight EST. The show will benefit the SALVATION ARMY to raise funds for the homeless in San Francisco!

INCOMING PRESS DROP! The legendary Brainwash Comedy Club combination laundromat left a place in the heart of comics everywhere when the club closed a few years ago. See 🧵

@failedtorender Im here for the Vr comedy, I get you need to get seen but this is way too much Elon for me, sorry, unfollow

I feel this, my grandmother has no idea who she is anymore and my parents pay $6000 a month to keep her in a home

@KyrickYoung @alexqgb I’m trying to train my own architectural models with SD, any tips?

@Demonkid @SansarOfficial @LostHorizonHQ Now this is interesting

@TheeBeardedBard @tiltfive Thank you for disrupting my previous impressions that this amazing technology was only being used for gaming

Using @tiltfive to check out some MRI models. #AR #Tiltfive #MRI

@DiffusionPics Nice! Curious of the prompt.

@VRUnderground Excuse me while I become a sci-fi douche, but…The true XR creator intentionally develops a new sense of proprioception to understand the space around them intuitively so such protections are not necessary. Self inflicted injuries are a good teacher…

You wont feel crazy basing your life around VR until you realize a padded room is an ideal play space.

@peterom Heck yes, this is how to leverage the future! can’t wait to hear more about your experiments

I’m building a tool that combines 8 AI models w/ human creativity & judgement to make animated videos of anything you can imagine! More below but to give a hint of what’s possible, I made a video for a poem I love - created from 8175 AI-generated frames: youtu.be/X_BLuno7C84
