Living in real time inside alternate realities, with a headset on your eyes, has never felt this close.
But the real magic, the kind that actually fools the brain, will only happen in passthrough. Not see through. I will die on this hill.

Xmax X1, the first real-time interactive video model, is here. Powered by autoregressive streaming generation, X1 achieves millisecond ultra-low latency and infinite-length generation, enabling truly natural spatial interaction. Camera is redefined. It’s no longer just a lens, but a magic wand that breaks the barrier between dimensions. Summon virtual beings into your reality and interact with them in real-time. Live implementation video is below, truely amazing work! Definitely one to watch.

I’ll be serving as both a judge and a mentor at Frontier Tower for SensAI Hack San Francisco 2025, which is just around the corner!
What I love about hackathons is that they’re not just about pushing a prototype in a few days. They’re one of the best ways to show what makes you unique. A single strong project can give you more visibility than months of sending résumés into the void. When your ideas hit the right note, the right people come to you.
What I’m looking forward to the most is seeing how teams think beyond the box, not tech for tech’s sake, but concepts that hit real problems and real use cases. XR + AI is an incredible playground, but only meaningful ideas survive the hype cycle.
And the competition is stacked:
🏆 Hackers battling for $10,000 and bragging rights in the global tour
🧠 Real-time innovation with XR + AI toolkits
🌍 The best prototypes competing to define the future of spatial tech
Can’t wait to see the wild ideas, the sharp thinking, and the team that walks away with the crown. See you in SF

Continuing my hobby dev project.
Now the Meta Quest’s depth data can be streamed remotely together with position and orientation to visualize the surrounding structure in real time.
I am thinking of new ideas based on this, so feel free to share yours.

As mentioned before, I’ve paused development on the AR sticky note app StickAR after releasing the Alpha Test. Now diving into Quest’s Depth API! After fixing my logic, I can now get fast & accurate point clouds. Taking advantage of summer break to build fun and creative stuff😎

Who is the clearest thinker of AI and what it means for the future of human existence?

XR devs: I need your help!
Is there any way to capture the screen output from the Meta Ray-Ban Display Glasses? I’m looking for a good way to showcase what the display actually looks like.

@AndreElijah OMG so happy for you! I know how much this means to you 😊

@jasteinerman Hey Jake! Do you know if there’s any roadmap or ETA for when we’ll be able to download the .ply files from Hyperscape captures? I know a bunch of folks (myself included!) who’d love to experiment with the Gaussian splats.

You can now copy & paste the real world, with hyper-realistic detail. All with just a $299 headset.
With Hyperscape you can capture your real-world space in just minutes, then creates an immersive, true-to-life digital replica that you can visit from anywhere.
Check the thread for some ridiculously good scans 👇

I just saw this comet streak across the entire sky of San Francisco... incredible."

A comet or something just flew over the Bay Area …what is that???

@TheMirzaBeig Looks like you're not far from a Stargate Portal!

✨ On the absurdity of portals: if we were to extend the transformation logic of portals to deformed exits (perturbed destination portal surfaces), it's the equivalent of being refracted/scattered. You would be forced into caustic-like contortions, twisted, and folded like rays or waves of light, atomically and beyond.
They remain relatively "safe" because they are absolute, perfect planar entities. So perfect, that their surface can be described as a single direction (of an infinite plane's normal/face), and nothing else. But the moment you distort that plane, if you were to follow the logic of it (rather than a purely interesting visual effect), it will redirect every particle of yours by the micro-facets/'planes' of the surface. Your position, rotation, velocity, etc...

🌀 Portal Question: What happens if you press a moving portal down over a point/rigidbody/cube, connected to a non-moving portal on the wall? Do you know the answer to the 'Portal Dilemma'? > the cube comes out of the stationary portal, and... 🔵🅰️ ...simply falls or plops down due to gravity. 🟠🅱️ ...comes hurtling/ejected/flying out. Scenario: a 'hydraulic' press with a portal on its surface descends over a stationary cube below it. The vertically descending portal is linked seamlessly to another static portal (example, on the wall to the side). By the time the portal from above exactly finishes slamming down over the cube, what is the state of the cube? Is it A, or B? Or perhaps, you have some other answer? I'm curious to know how you reason about this! 🧠 Consider: this 'dilemma' (popularly) seems to originate from Valve's game, Portal (2007). Simplifying the scenario to an infinite point or "atom" (rather than an actual cube structure) may offer something of insight...

retweeing for 2025 - reply here if ya just moved out to the bay area or missed the last local community-building post I did
David@DavidSHolz
trying to build more community and hold space for people in sf. anyone wanna get added to my invite lists? like this post or DM me if you live around San Francisco and this speaks to you! ❤️

How long before Google lets us revisit photos from our Google Photos library like this... or even rewatch our home videos from a different angle?
I’m excited to see what happens when this meets Google’s new XR initiative.

Another one. Already a powerful painting, but moving around it yourself gives a totally different feeling. Jacques Louis David's "The Death of Socrates" => #Genie3

@Scobleizer Thanks, Scoble! :) Feels like I showed you the Slices project just yesterday, yet somehow 5 years have flown by. Maybe it’s time for the final act and write a post-mortem to reveal the magic to everyone.

Hey @GregMadison please stop being the magician you are and show them all the layers.
Where we are about to go has infinite layers.
He is one of the best designers alive.
And one hell of a magician, too.
Highly entertaining with how he mapped out his house and now messes with the digital twin.
Seriously.

Not “Are we in a simulation?” but which layer are we on… and who’s ruining ours?

@jmdagdelen Is this supposed to be a metaphor for religions 😁?
