Meta just shipped calorie tracking on Ray-Ban glasses and now most developers will try to avoid this space
But looking at food and counting calories is such a small part of the problem
People need to understand their behaviour and they need a reward mechanism that brings them back
Tracking is plumbing
Gamification is the value layer and that's barely been touched

This is beautiful
Persistent, shared, interactive art is going to be super cool

@SamCole Nothing looks more dystopian than people in the tube hypnotised by their phones. And the AR/VR haters refuse to acknowledge it.
Also, they won't acknowledge that VR gaming, unlike any other form of videogaming (except -anecdotally- DDR) can be a good workout.

stumbled across this and couldn't agree more

In 10 years you won't give a shit what you weighed on April 30, 2025. You will care about your relationship with food. You will care about your physical and mental health. You will care about your ability to move. So focus on building healthy, sustainable habits. Not trying to accelerate the process short-term.

Les Mills have such epic virtual worlds for their Trip product
They should definitely get them in VR and connected to a bike

@GoonItForward @weareFitXR Rendering in a standalone headset is a little different

@SamCole @weareFitXR I coulda swore video games solved this problem decades ago.

Bets we got wrong @weareFitXR:
1. Avatars
In 2020 we thought that avatar technology would leap across the uncanny valley and enable us to create true personalisation
They haven't. And they really limit the connection to our amazing coaches

@RobSprance @weareFitXR Looking forward to Metas codec avatars arriving someday

@SamCole @weareFitXR Apple nailed avatars. Meta chose to go cartoony and lame. The Vision Pro really feels like your friend is next to you.

We've clearly seen the limits of how people will adopt 500g face bricks
Whether that's Galaxy XR, Vision Pro or Quest 3
Before we get any kind of meaningful mainstream adoption we need a fundamental rethink in both hardware and positioning
The next wave of lighter, use case specific devices can't come soon enough

please stop telling me how watching movies in VR is a killer app
English
@SamCole I might have to check it out sometime soon then. I am a daily LesMills user but it's been bugged and not enough of a workout lately for me anymore.
One extra thing, unwanted advice, a vibration strength slider on hits would be so good. I remember FitXR having much less feedback.

People are saying mobile doesn't matter because you discover content in the headset
That misses the point
Mobile should matter - both for discovery and push notifications from Meta and apps
We are spending a lot building our mobile companion app - most devs can't do this

Biggest first-time VR user problem nobody talks about: You buy a headset You have to pair it with the Meta app You download the Meta Horizon app Horizon content is everywhere You have no idea what's going on I'm sure it's in progress but we need to separate the experiences Let people find the apps and games they actually want
