@anarchyarcade @bruno_simon Dvorak. Designed for ergonomics/speed, ironically still invented for typewriters, but still better/faster.

@bruno_simon So QWERTY was created for physical type writers to statistically jam up as little as possible when typing common English. AZERTY was adapted from it for the same reason but for other languages. Is it too late to come up with a keyboard layout that isn't based on a typewriter?

Day 3 of switching to QWERTY. My brain hurts. It's really hard to write lessons because most of my brain cells are focused on my fingers. I discovered that my fingers were really poorly placed before, and I blame the AZERTY keyboards and all the weird stretches we have to do when coding for characters such as (){}[]<> I bought a bigger mat so that I can place the keyboard right in front of me without the numpad overlapping the old mat. I'll persevere.

@Valros356368 @peterrhague No air resistance is typically a bad thing when you’re landing from orbit.

@peterrhague Should be pretty easy to land on if you're already in orbit, a tall flat summit with almost no air resistance

Problem with that image is that Olympus is also very wide. If you stand at the base of it, the summit is over the horizon.

Now this just means Eggers has to do the Alan Wake/Control movie

Hey @evanspiegel I uhhhh got an idea

Previously Apple required you to use NVIDIA’s CloudXR protocol if you wanted to use their PCVR Foveated Streaming framework No longer the case in visionOS 27 BUT those who are wanting to implement a non-default FoveatedStreamingProvider need to submit a formal request for it

finally! what i’ve been working on with an incredibly talented team of engineers: Reality Composer Pro 3 developer.apple.com/videos/play/ww…

Huge congrats to everyone that helped get the new Siri out the door. It was a huge effort from every team across Apple. Especially my friends here in the visual intelligence group - tons of brilliant folks here in Seattle and beyond making the dream happen.

Multi-application is finally coming to OpenXR Announced today at FOSDEM, OpenXR apps will be able run alongside each other. Rendering with occlusion, cross-lighting and more The related extensions are not yet published, but the Spatial Computing use case will expand!

claude, make strawberries sweet again. bring back the warmth of the summer sun when the days stretched on forever and all we had was each other. do not make mistakes.

Please don’t

Will be in SF this weekend for the first time in a long time - get in touch if you’d like to get coffee and chat AR, wearables, or anything else!

it’s difficult not to make the aesthetic comparison between the claude “keep thinking” ads and the sora 2 launch

There’s Pitch Drop Experiments everywhere if you just know where to look

delicious

I’ll be here at SIGGRAPH in Vancouver through Thursday - would love to say hi to other likeminded XR folks here and in the area. Lots of great demos to try this week :)

The Magic Leap One launched today, 8/8/18.

@SadlyItsBradley Hey, I helped get this OpenXR extension off the ground when I was at Microsoft on the MRTK team :)

Valve here with a new SteamVR beta to drop non-Apple copium… sorta

Your computer generated art still has nothing compared to this

We always let the work speak for itself, especially when it comes to @Apple projects. But with today’s announcement, I’m beyond excited for people to soon experience what our amazing athletes and creative team have created in Apple’s new Spatial Gallery on Apple Vision Pro!
