@kevinlu625 orchids, I’ve been using lovable. Excited to try yours!

@Ridge_XR It comes down to how you interpret the feedback. People ask for a faster horse because they haven’t seen the car (i.e. during dev). But if they’ve driven the car and still want the horse -- that’s a problem. And if they’re complaining before even trying it, that’s just noise.

@TheWireWhiz I was excited at first, but that’s not the real price — it doesn’t have speakers or any infotainment, still uses manual windows, let alone self driving, and includes “EV credits”
It’s miles behind BYD and would likely cost the same as a tesla once you add all the accessories.

@AUT0M4T1C_JACK How did you get the prescription lenses for free?

@BastionReality It's reduced significantly, still there but no longer remotely an issue in my opinion. It's similar to the Vision Pro.

I helped test this, it's good shit :D
Highly recommend, if you guys have any questions feel free to ask :)

The biggest differentiator for Quest is its collection of standalone immersive VR games.
That’s a strength to double down on, not a weakness that needs to be erased.

Meta CTO responds to the controversy around using "MR" to mean both MR and VR, calls it "one of the most absolutely manufactured controversies of all time" and "a total fabrication of the community out of nothingness", tells complainers to "move on": uploadvr.com/meta-cto-respo…

@Star_Centurion In a perfect world I’d agree with you — they are all better than horizon.
But imagine searching Gorilla the first 10 options are all horizon worlds and you get directly launched into horizon the moment you put headset on.
Meta don’t want a console, they want a horizon machine

Rec room is stuck between a rock and a hard place.
On VR, horizon world is squeezing them out due to prominent placement.
On mobile, they are competing with all other mobile games like Roblox and Genshin.

16% of Rec Room's staff are facing layoffs, and the studio outlined how it plans to become self-sustaining in a “dramatically changed” market: uploadvr.com/rec-room-layof…

The problem is not f2p -- it's Meta using its monopolistic power to push low-quality first-party contents over third-party freemium AND premium contents.
If it's about transitioning to f2p, they should open the store so VRChat/RecRoom worlds can be indexed as well.

Andrew Bosworth, Meta’s CTO has responded to concerns users have about Horizon Worlds and other f2p titles taking over the Quest store, leaving less room for paid games.

Meta researchers built a "large reconstruction model (LRM)" that can generate an animatable photorealistic avatar head in minutes from just four selfies.

@spatiallyme A TON of effort went into this app. Kudos to the team!

I’m speechless—Spatial Gallery has the most beautiful user interface I’ve ever experienced in an Apple product. It's also the first time Apple has introduced depth to panels in visionOS, giving them a 3D-like appearance—something I’ve never seen before.
Expanding the content you want to watch fills the entire room with its vibrant colors, and I can’t get enough of it. It’s visually stunning—like Philips Ambilight, but multiplied by ten.
Watching a video of this from someone else doesn’t do it justice. You have to try it yourself to understand why it’s nothing short of a feast for the eyes!

@BastionReality oh wow, its litearlly just a ChatGPT wapper trained on a handful of books that spits out a basic summary huh

if I had a nickel every time an AI company launched a really strange product, and immediately compared themself to Steve Jobs
