@omershapira This is fascinating. I see the rotation blur of course but I am in it for hours a day with zero simsickness. And I’m someone who despite a decade+ in XR can’t seem to acquire “vr legs”, instead getting queasy very quickly. AVP just works though.

Tried an AVP. Amazing display, everything a DSP can offer, but terrible ghosting issues. By the time I figured out the gestures and made the contextual gaze tracking work, I was already simsick. I’m sure it got to market with good testers, but I can’t imagine spending a day in it

@pagb666 You mean this is not a level you want to play perpetually until the end of time? I'm offended!

@ukiro Yep, I don't use DSDA that much, it must've fallen behind. You mean I'll have to record it again? 🥲

It has happened, again. I'm segmenting this level's playthrough for sure.

@pagb666 Oh you absolutely need to upgrade then; that's a very old version. The evil eyes are for... an unmarked secret.

@ukiro It's DSDA 0.24.3. Happened to me twice over the course of 3 hours trying to single segment it. Once in the hellknights/archviles pit near the end, the other one while climbing up to the platforms after getting one of the evil eyes. (What are they for?)

@doom_txt Ok this is funnier out of context, I’ll give you that

Eviternity is for normies. I'm interested in making something truly difficult for the elite players

Five years later, Doom megawad Eviternity just got a surprise sequel. trib.al/SCoqoSd

Been working on this for a while. Happy 30th birthday, Doom.

@omershapira @natedoth undo twet

@ukiro @natedoth That’s photon-to-photon, not motion-to-photon. They didn’t disclose their render pipeline length.

Instead of 'having opinions' during tomorrow's 🍏 keynote, I'm putting my recent talks on research directions for XR into a post. Here's the summary: • Rasterizing is a dead end for realism in XR. Raytracing isn't ideal, but much better • Thus rendering will happen off-device /

@omershapira @natedoth Apple's claim of less than a third of this is quite striking.

@natedoth Latency absolutely must improve but you simply can't do better than ~38ms motion2photon. Anything beyond that is prediction. And with prediction, you have pipelines that do the right thing instead of hack.

Even if you shut off white balance, most of the pictures I see aren't selling how orange the sky is, because there's no frame of reference. Here's a 6500k display with an image we all recognize, for a more relative perspective. The color science isn't perfect, but close enough.

@MActon93 Thanks, appreciate all the coverage. So if there’s an appeal, it’s likely not resolved for several more months? Seems like all this sand in the gears is a win for FTC even if this particular deal eventually closes. The whole VC—startup—acquisition ecosystem is already shook.

@ukiro There are simply too many hypotheticals at this stage.

Meta wins this round in the #Within saga. But it's not over. 1 - FTC can appeal and the judge has given them time to stop deal from closing in meantime 2 - FTC can still pursue its administrative case even if Meta closes (rare but not unheard of after losing in federal court)

@MActon93 Sure, but why do that a week from now? The 2/7 scheduling seems to correlate with the requested extension.

@ukiro No, the judge could also issue an order saying: in light of the fact I just blocked this deal, the FTC's motion for an extension is dismissed as moot.

#Meta #Within: sealed order has just landed on docket. Stay tuned.

@MActon93 So FTC got their 7 day extension? Implying Davila ruled against the FTC? If FTC won there’d be no need to extend? How is the extension binding to Meta? Also: FTC wants to “preserve the status quo” via extension, but the whole hearing was a ruling on that very thing. weird logic.

Now a status hearing is set for 7 Feb. Curious.

@hmltn @MActon93 How much faster is Pacer than courtlistener? The latter is entirely free: courtlistener.com/docket/6443661…

Shout out to my #Meta #Within peeps who are well into night two of checking Pacer every 10 minutes. I know you're out there.
