@FreyaHolmer Can you make it standalone, with a thin Unity Plugin shim that launches the standalone app with some launch parameters? e.g. launch immediately into editing a model from a right click menu, and because you have the path, immediately export into Unity from one click/save?

I can't decide whether to prioritize half-edge as a standalone tool or as a unity plugin ;-; there's a chance I might only ever make one of them to save time, but now I feel like I'll disappoint people no matter which way I go

@dwarph They sure like eating those nibbles!

I only had 8 hours for the Ludum Dare this time around I made a tiny game you can play in your browser anyway: ldjam.com/events/ludum-d… #LDJam

@JCorvinusVR That's okay, you just didn't mesh with it

@FreyaHolmer What about Aggregated Information"? It is neither artificial or intelligent

they should've called it "artificial knowledge" rather than artificial intelligence

@MattFiler Genuinely considering getting DOOM, having never played it, just because of the mod opportunities I have fond memories of "modding" Halo way back when It's such a great way to involve audiences

Making a point to buy games that get official mod tools released, to help show that they're wanted (e.g. Witcher, Doom). The number of people who tell me they've bought Isolation because of OpenCAGE is wild: hoping official tools become the norm for games again going forward!

Super proud of what our small team has managed to do to get this demo out there! We're still looking for a publisher!👀

Blood for the Old Gods! The demo for our Co-op PvE Rogue-Lite shooter is now out on Steam! Watch the trailer below, go to Steam, get the demo and invite your friends to cleanse the corruption! Give us your feedback by joining the Discord!

We've been teasing the VR Multiplayer template for a hot minute now... This template is a labor of love by the XR Authoring team at Unity, and ties together XRI 3.0, with OpenXR and all of Unity's mp services (ngo, lobby, relay, vivox..) Well... it's here! Grab it on the hub

@pvncher Massive congrats to you and the team! It's a huge achievement and looks phenomenal 😍

@TobtyM Jealous! Very excited to play!

Excited that it's finally announced!! Here's what I've been working on this year 😄🥳 youtube.com/watch?v=UChxrl… #GameAudio #SoundDesign #PlanetCoaster2

3/5 Key Features: 👐 Microgestures: track small finger movements and subtle gestures that require minimal effort ✍️ Handling objects: Hyperion delivers superior hand tracking while holding an object in your hand 🔋 Performance switching: including low-power and high-performance

4/5 But that’s not all - Ultraleap Hyperion gives users direct access to the Leap Motion Controller 2 camera for use with other computer vision tasks. It also expands our tracking offering to object tracking for the first time ever 🤩

Hello Hyperion 👋 The next generation of spatial interactivity has arrived. 1/5 🧵ultraleap.com/company/news/p…

I totally agree. Low latency hand tracking is the best to work with

Prototyped another iteration of a hand-tracking-based BoxelXR toolbar. This time, it's a circular menu spawned in front of a user once the index pinch is triggered. Notes: 1) It works great with four elements, but it's hard to scale for a higher number; 2) The selection interaction is forgiving for spatial positioning errors. This is because a 3D hand span is interpreted through a 1D angle range (a 1D subspace in the polar coordinate system of 2D projection space, which is a subspace of the 3D space of the experience, respectively). This prevents false positives and makes it easy for users to execute. Precise muscle coordination is not required, either. Design tip: Lower the dimensionality of your interaction to reduce cognitive loads and make it more accessible. 3) Using depth-based animations to show different UI states is a great way to leverage the third dimension and add something interesting to the experience. But be careful. When the UI faces a user's face, the contrast in the motion might be low, so use it only as an additional layer. In this prototype, color coding is the primary way to mark changes in a UI state. ⬇️🐙🐱 Download the prototype — #circular-finger-menu" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">github.com/Volorf/xr-prot… #handtracking #xrinteraction #xri #xr #virtualreality #csharp #unity3d #prototyping #spatialcomputing #spatialdesign #spatialui #ux #ui #xrdevelopment

THIS is how we bring back the idea of couch co-op gaming in the modern age! Apple Vision Pro's Spatial Personas paired with Steam's Remote Play Together feature allows me and @EricMasher to play the same game on my PC, in the "same room" but from hundreds of miles away

Can't believe I got this working 🤯 Live preview of a Blender scene with the Vision Pro.

Started using the Ultra Leap sensor to speed up the iteration cycle for spatial design explorations. Not putting on/taking off a headset every time you need to test hand-tracking-based interaction is a huge time saver. Considering that as a designer, you do hundreds/thousands of iterations a day, the procedure with the headset is extremely exhausting. More time for design, less for awkward device-to-head (de)mounting. #handtracking #ultraleap #unity3d #prototyping #interactiondesign #spatialcomputing
