@AnnaNosthoff @FMaschewski Herzlichen Glückwunsch! Bin schon ob des Titels sehr gespannt auf das Buch!

1/ Mit Verspätung, da ich zwischenzeitlich Mutter geworden bin: Im Sommer habe ich meine Dissertation eingereicht & verteidigt. Ich freue mich, dass die Arbeit voraussichtlich 2025/26 als Buch erscheinen wird. Danke an alle, die mich unterstützt haben, besonders an @fmaschewski:

@andreeavr @VRmaninJapan I think our ancestors developed something like the 2D image for a reason, maybe to cope with the spatial word in an abstract manner. So, you are right, we are spatial beings, but abstraction can be useful and sometimes more efficient. Maybe we have to combine 2D and 3D thinking.

@VRmaninJapan 👊Space is also in the head though, just mentioning that. I dare say, our thinking is already spatialized, we just need to stop pushing 2D design paradigms onto spatial systems. 2D UX was necessary in the screen-interaction era, but we need to let it go.

The "new" medium is not AR or VR. It's space. It's been around for a long time, and many disciplines, like dance & architecture, have well established methods for turning it into powerful experiences. It's computing that just figured out how to access it. That's what's new.

When VR gets too real. (via lacubana85/TT)

@andreeavr @thejuanlam Sounds interesting, next time I really need to join.

@thejuanlam 100%. We just had a call in our Discord about the steps we need to take to develop a notation for spatial experience :)

Now shipping Galea headsets! Peek inside the first commercially available, multi-modal neurotechnology + XR headset: galea.co The sensors include PPG, EDA, GSR, EEG, fEMG, and more! #bci #eeg #neuro #sensor

@andreeavr @TUDarmstadt @SpectraCities Nice Virtualizer @Cyberith

And just like that our VR lab at @TUDarmstadt has launched. Our virtual city @SpectraCities is at its heart & will be used to study experimental approaches to infrastructure projects. A VR-based methodology allows us to introduce behavioral analysis as an assessment tool.

Half of the action in our VR game takes place in total darkness. It feels different & some describe it as "more real". I believe it's because these levels are a mix of what's happening in awake, dreaming & active imagination states. Excerpt from a talk where I break this down.

Out now 🤩❤️‍🔥… open access 😇… thanks to @buechnerverlag and all authors 🫶… buechner-verlag.de/wp/wp-content/…

#Sensingstories Exciting Announcement! Our lecture series continues with the first talk of the year "Speculations on Digital Touch Futures," led by two renowned scholars, Carey Jewitt and Sara Price, from UCL. sensingstories.net

@FinnDyrud So true!

Valve was so ahead of its time with these “Reality Bubbles” in The Lab. Likely the web addresses of the metaverse

So excited to share my latest work! If you’ve wanted to create custom gestures for your AR/VR projects and wished it was easier, try Unity's XR Hands 1.4 package. Create your own gestures from scratch or use our pre-built gestures with a handy little debugging tool!

VOV = Volume Of View

Wow Marigold 🌼 depth estimation works extremely well! 🤯 And the best thing is that the checkpoints and code are fully available for commercial use! Try it out yourself! ⬇️⬇️

Universities: “we hope you had a relaxing holiday period and are ready for an exciting and productive year ahead” Academics:

Soon… very soon 🤩… in cooperation with @Patrick_R_K and @buechnerverlag … 🙏

All 6 AI models offer powerful capabilities such as Attention Heatmap, Focus Map, Percentage of Attention, and Benchmarks. Try out:
