I’m working on a Rabbit-like not-phone handheld device for 5-7 year olds. If you have any must-have features or just good ideas for such a thing (esp based on experience with your kids) reply here or DM!

@julianparc @bezi_3d @Meta @Adobe @LiquidCity_ I'm writing an article on this topic right now. Did they touch on the difference between the 3rd person approach (behind, spline) and the 1st person approach (Gravity sketch, shapesXR)

The saddest thing about Google Prematurely leaving XR is they actually had all the ingredients to make a killer app: a social VR app with a physical interaction engine by the makers of Job Sim, with a UGC tool by the makers of TiltBrush and pre-populated with Google Earth data
David Heaney@Heaney555

Meta and Google both launched standalone VR platforms in 2018. Google abandoned Daydream after less than 2 years, while Meta grew Oculus (now Quest) to tens of millions scale. Now years later, after the market is already proven, Google wants Meta to kowtow to its attempt #2?

Hey all I’m Dilmer and I have been building XR educational content since ARKit was first released in 2017 and Magic Leap 1 was introduced in the US. I have published more than 800 YouTube videos with a variety of topics from AR, to VR, to BCI, ML, and game development in general. I also funded learnxr.io where I teach AR/VR development and I provide XR consulting & XR educational content to companies such as Meta, Magic Leap, Snapchat, FS Studio, Qualcomm, and many others.

XR & VISION PRO NETWORKING THREAD 🚨 I see lots of old school XR people decrying the new wave of Vision Pro excitement with the old "we've been doing that for years!" But rather than cast new people as 'the other', we should all get connected so ideas new and old can synergize! So, reply to tell us who you are and what you're building or interested in. And retweet to spread this thread!

Maybe a taboo subject but is anyone in the AI and spatial computing community talking about reanimating the dead? I'd personally love to have a chat with my Dad with a codec avatar again, just to hear his dad jokes.

tipatat@tipatat

One week with the #AppleVisionPro and I can't stop thinking thinking about potential killer apps for it. Here's a list of some of the apps I most want to see (and reach out if you are working on any on them and want some funding from @TheVRFund) :
