It has been such a fun ride to make YouTube content for XR, and I can’t wait to keep bringing more and more FREE content! Today, I am about to hit 79K subscribers🤩 and getting much closer to 100K. 📌 If you are into VR/AR development consider subscribing to @dilmerv" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">youtube.com/@dilmerv as I have a variety of content coming such as Apple Vision Pro (w/ Unity and Native), Multiplayer with Photon, WebXR, Meta Quest building blocks, and much more!

Earlier this week, speaking with an investor, and naturally the conversation ventured onto the topic of AI & its implications for XR. I took this an opportunity to point out that this AI boom is a precursor, foreshadowing the upcoming explosion in XR content. Let's unpack this. The simplest way to explain XR is a merging of digital content into the real world, creating an experience that transcends physical boundaries. AI's role is being the brains of the operation. AI’s ability to quickly analyze inputs such as images/video and extract meaningful data enables digital experiences that understand and interpret the environment in real-time. From marker-tracking that fuses digital content onto physical objects by tracking features points to world-tracking which anchors digital content at true scale in our environment, to face/hand/body tracking and segmentation; AI is processing the camera stream to extract data that tis passed into the 3D scenes, fusing the digital content to the physical world. With the improvements in micro-processors & the advancements in AI algorithms, we're seeing even more immersive experiences as the AI algorithms are able to create more complex digital representations of their contextual surroundings. The synergy of AI/XR goes beyond the core processing. AI is now removing barriers. Traditionally XR experiences required interdisciplinary teams of creatives, 3D artists, developers, and producers. Generative AI, like stable diffusion models, alongside advancements in 3D scanning using NeRFs, and Gaussian Splats, are breaking down traditional asset creation barriers. In AR/VR, these AI-created assets can serve a functional purpose, not just in pre-visualization and brainstorming, but also in adding background elements that traditionally would not have been worth the effort. This is a game-changer for creators, enabling them to focus on enriching the overall experience, rather than making trade-offs based on resource constraints. These AI-driven asset creation tools are doing more than just simplifying processes; they're transforming how we bridge the gap between physical & digital realities. As AI propels XR forward, it also brings to light a significant challenge for creators - the steep technical learning curve. Mastering these advanced technologies requires a deep understanding of coding and technical intricacies. Platforms like Unity and Unreal Engine, while powerful, often pose daunting challenges for new creators. Even basic tasks can require complex setups, making the journey into XR content creation a formidable one. While platforms like Meta's Spark & Snap's Lens Studio make the overall process simpler, they impose significant constraints on file size while imposing barriers like mandatory reviews that take up to 48hrs. The future of XR as a mainstream medium of digital interaction is predicated on an over abundance of XR content. This is where platforms like @webXRtools are stepping in to revolutionize XR by enabling frictionless content creation. By allowing creators to easily grasp the available features, it enables the ability to build XR experiences in minutes not months. Shifting the creators focus from wondering what's possible, to what truly matters - crafting compelling & immersive experiences. This shift towards user-friendly creation tools is essential. It opens up XR to a wider range of creators, democratizing the field and paving the way for a diverse array of content and experiences.

@Natzke This is really cool and imaginative implementation of Lidar data, would be curious how it looks as a virtual scene in the Quest headset. Could make for a whole new way of exploring lego worlds!

🍁 Fall Lego #AR Walk 🚶 Was curious how well the Lego prototype would hold up outside. Pleasantly surprised by how capable #ARKit #LiDAR is able to survey the scene. Need to save the data for playback on the #Quest3 #XR #MixedReality

When you fuse the physical with the digital, it reveals the limitless possibilities that lie in the space between pixels and perceptions.

@ImmersivStudios It’s simple, pick @webxrtools it’s the easiest way to use the top web AR/VR technologies without code or having to worry about how they integrate.

Artists, we hear you! We're bridging the gap between your creativity and the XR space. Let's shape the future of immersive experiences together with our web-based no code tool kit. @webxrtools

In an era where our screens often act as windows to digital worlds, the leap from passive viewing to immersive experiences isn't just inevitable; it's already happening. While traditional digital media has dominated for decades, in today's attention economy attention spans are dwindling. There's a growing need for content that doesn't just speak to the audience but engages them to participate in the story. XR is setting the stage for a new era of storytelling. With XR, stories are no longer just told; they're experienced. Plunging the end user into the the narrative, where every decision they make can alter the story's path. XR's magic lies in its power to blend digital content with our physical surroundings, creating a seamless and more relatable narrative experience. By bridging these worlds, XR creates a hybrid reality where stories are more tangible, experiences feel more personal and drive more intense emotions connections. From immersive educational experiences to groundbreaking marketing campaigns, XR is proving its value. Yet, its widespread adoption faces hurdles. XR's success hinges on mass market adoption which can only be driven by the availability of XR content at scale. The greatest impediment to growth is the lack tools for creators to take full advantage without having to invest months and years of learning ever changing complex technology. Unfortunately the ever evolving complexity of the tech & a steep learning curve for creating content remain significant barriers to creating content fast enough. To tackle this challenge head on, we've built @webxrtools, to make XR content creation frictionless. With drag-and-drop interfaces, intuitive UI, and tools that adjust to the task at hand. It's about lowering barriers and unlocking creativity for all and so I invite creators, storytellers, educators, and brands to explore the possibilities with @webxrtools. Create XR in minutes not months.

3D Gaussian Splats are cool, but they're static (PART 2). 4K4D can turn 4k videos into dynamic scenes and render them in real-time at 80fps on a RTX 4090 GPU. For 1080p videos, the method even reaches a crazy 400fps 🤯 zju3dv.github.io/4k4d/?ref=aiar…

Dynamic 3D Gaussians: Tracking by Persistent Dynamic View Synthesis dynamic3dgaussians.github.io We model the world as a set of 3D Gaussians that move & rotate over time. This extends Gaussian Splatting to dynamic scenes, with accurate novel-view synthesis and dense 3D trajectories.

XR is is a powerful medium that can be used to raise awareness and promote conservation efforts. XR experiences enable audiences to explore endangered habitats, learn about climate change, and act to protect the planet, without leaving the comfort of their web browser.

Do you know any use cases where you'd require that data?

Some promising experiments to make tooling for gaussian splats! Objects can be cut out / masked, and multiple captures can be combined together. Captures with @LumaLabsAI, viewer by @aras_p
