Today, I did some aerial photogrammetry from a plane! Due to the cabin being tight and my cam’s viewfinder disp. not rotating, i had to get clever. Using the HDMI input on my @FatsharkRC FPV goggles, I had a clean feed of my camera, which worked super well!

Controlling a robot in AR is one thing. A real working use case is another. Air hockey vs my Vector Robot on @specs 2024 virtual puck, real goalie. This thing is playful, but imagine how far it may go. Tell me your ideas in a commets. Open source: if you have a Vector, you can run it and play. Build with CLAD ( Full downgrade path that we took in our blog). Link down in the comments. Super excited about new @Specs and NDK -> if understand right that may be the way to run VectAR fully on glasses ->>>> no extra server on Mac!!!!!! #Spectacles #AR #Robotics #Vector #SnapAR #AugmentedReality #buildinpublic @specsfordevs @lenslist @LensStudioDev

@Ev5Enrique It’s really underrated tbh

@Azadux That Xbox controller feels so nice to play games on and quick resume is a game changer, I can play and switch between 6 different games from my backlog and get straight into playing with my current progress there, and gamepass is amazing, I love my ps5 and series x

I recently traded my PS5 for an Xbox Series X and… I really like it! - quick resume. I can turn off the console with a button press, boot it up later, and resume the game immediately without quitting - backwards compatibility! I’m playing a whole bunch of xbox 360 games - the controller. I like it much more than dualsense - smaller form factor than ps5 - easy to turn it off. On a ps5, it takes quite a lot of navigation through a menu to turn off the console!

@AUT0M4T1C_JACK Nah even at its lowest setting, for games that require holding it down for long (like driving in death stranding 2), it was really starting to bother me

@Azadux that’s fine but fyi there is an adaptive trigger strength setting if you are interested in trying it

@TofuLordSeitan Have fun finding the footage. You won’t, trust me

@Azadux The 7 seas never let anyone down.

People forget that the ONLY place outside of theaters you can see watch true IMAX footage (1.43:1 aspect ratio) is… in the Apple Vision Pro via the IMAX app

@shrimpala The local streaming isn’t all that great tbh, esp coming from being used to moonlight and steam link. It’s low bitrate and not very low latency. a bit disappointed about it

Try streaming over network to browser or from cloud. Discord intgration is great. XBox is absurdly optimized with it's memory and storage management even compared to Desktops 5x more expensive. Just a shame GPUs where that pricey back than. A 2023-2025 model refresh would have killed.

@AUT0M4T1C_JACK While the haptics are very impressive, I really don’t the pressure required for press the triggers on DS. But overall I’ve just been an Xbox gamer and enjoy Xbox controller layouts the most

@Azadux what makes you like the controller more than a dualsense?

@TofuLordSeitan Sure. But have fun finding 1.43:1 footage

@Azadux You can watch any aspect ratio on any VR headset. Not just AVP.

@cgallello Right???

@Azadux As a new PS5 owner it blew my mind how complex shutting it down is

@eminus @rayneo_global Would it work with an android phone connected to an Xreal?

Everyday gives widget options for heads up display of things you may want to peek at in daily life. Time, navigation, calendar, news, stocks and a whole lot more available on the @rayneo_global X3 Pro. github.com/TheophileGaudi… (and yes the minimap feels like a video game!)

@no1089 @fulligin The difference bw 1.9 and 1.43 is massive IMAX holds it back to keep it exclusive and to give people reasons to go to the theaters

@Azadux @fulligin Good point. Was not aware it’s larger still. With the limited amount of cinemas - my closest option is in London (from Porto) - they should really do something about the availability. There is no reason I can’t watch the 1.43:1 format on a 65”

@UnevenMike Haven’t seen. Cool if true!

@Azadux What about the Epic Earth app? I think those were filmed for IMAX and are 1.43:1

@ri0M0ro Very cool

IMAX nerds I have a fan-edited, IMAX version of the Dark Knight playing at Blu-ray quality on my 4:3 projector. It’s so cool One of my most prized possessions

@fulligin @no1089 IMAX and the studios don’t release the 1.43:1 footage outside of theaters. Not on streaming, not on Blu-ray, or anywhere really. The Vision Pro app is only real place they’ve actually tried so it’s worth highlighting how rare that is

@Azadux @no1089 well idk you can watch a square video on any screen just dont look at the black part of it

@benz145 Neither - DualUp is actually peak for productivity!

Dual monitors or ultrawide for productivity in 2026?

@no1089 I don’t mean 1.78:1 (aka 16x9). I mean true, tall, squarish IMAX which pretty much doesn’t exist outside of Imsx theaters

@Azadux The PSVR2 can do it too using the Disney+ app.

@YeheLiu Would love to say hello!

@Azadux Me

Who’s gonna be at SIGGRAPH?? Show my your splats and I’ll show you mine!!
