I suspect that it will turn out that the harder part about creating interesting forms of artificial life will be the world environment and ecosystem, not the various neural networks doing the 'thinking'.

10/ That said - I also appreciate what sPaTiAl CoMpUtInG expert @cixliv has been saying and have found his several rants about this entertaining and also sorta valid twitter.com/cixliv/status/…

The dark secret behind the VR space is this: We make up a new bullshit term every 2 years because “this time it will be different”. This year it’s “spatial computing”.
English
9/ The final thing I will say is that I actually like the term ‘spatial computing’. It’s not an apple invention and a lot of people in this industry have been using the term as a default for years.

1/ Last week Apple announced naming restrictions for the Vision Pro device. No using terms like VR/AR/MR/ XR. It's 'spatial computing'. Within that context I've wanted to explore how the words we use to label new technologies shape how we engage with them. singularityhub.com/2024/01/18/why…

@william_seely @beyondsportsvr That definitely exists. I’ve seen demos of soccer and NFL football but haven’t seen it specifically for hockey.

NEW MILESTONE 🥇 for Beyond Sports. We are proud to announce that we are now working with Bein Sports. Watch the video to see a quick VR analysis of a goal during the game Manchester City FC VS Brighton & Hove Albion FC.

@aarondfrank @beyondsportsvr There’s a lot going on here — in theory, instead of watching from above, I should be able to spawn into game at skater level for new perspective. Imagine the post game / tape analysis now. 🤔

A whole NHL game is being broadcast in a game engine on Disney+ right now. @beyondsportsvr big part of the tech behind it.

Tonight, Disney is airing an animated, alternate broadcast of the Caps-Rangers game — the "NHL Big City Greens Classic." It's using live, real-time animations of players modeled after Disney's show, "Big City Greens".

Wow… spotted in SF. Looks like the PR team had a bit of a huddle up and changed course.

To address the confusion I've seen across the companies I work with - I wrote a starter guide for any company asking what the real use cases are for 'the metaverse' or are confused by the broad set of things now just called a ‘metaverse’ initiative.

@aarondfrank @SecondLife @TiliaPay Interesting...Since @SecondLife is not on the blockchain, what type of currency is needed on the platform? Are Fiat currencies accepted? How do you see this platform evolving? Thank you!
English
I totally agree with @avibarzeev that this feels like a big deal. I actually can't think of a more "unsexy/won't grab headlines but actually signals a maturing of this whole space" development.

Fascinating, Utkarsh. Noted, @aarondfrank - for Anne? I believe Utkarsh is in Oxford some of this week.
