So the acronym #XR is just #VR, #AR, and other-R tech - the X has no meaning, it's just a placeholder. (In the OpenXR logo, the X is literally made up of an A and V shape). But, some folks call it "Extended Reality" which I have trouble aceepting: it feels like a backronym, really awkward. The beauty of XR was that it was an umbrella term over the other existing "reality" terms. But if I'm gonna lose the "X in XR has no specific meaning" debate... 😉
Given Valve mentioned the #steamdeck would be a stepping stone to VR and we now have news about #amd z1 extreme chips which are projected to be about 25% slower than a PS5.
It seems like Valve will be in a great position to release a standalone #vr headset with enough performance to drive #pcvr games with lowered settings, which would still look miles better than the games on current standalone headsets.
Just like the mythical (joking) Jaguar VR, the 𝕍𝕚𝕣𝕥𝕦𝕒𝕝𝕚𝕥𝕪 powered Dynovisor is perfect for playing Missile Command 3D on the /|\ Jag ;-) #Atari#AtariJaguar#retrogaming#vr
#VR-related question: if I have a Meta Quest headset (1 or 2), is there any way to track an external object besides the controllers? Either using extra hardware, or something like ARUCO tags?
Whenever anyone says "Look at #ChatGPT now and imagine what #AI will do in three years", I only smirk. It reminds me of my teenage years, where people said the same things about #Crypto, #VR, and #AR. And yet, I still fail to see this technology become a meaningful, if at all, part of my and others' lifes. Yes, the AI models of today are impressive beyond belief, but the stuff they generate is still too imperfect for me to use them.
A new #sewing make in the works: a petticoat. I will be using a lining ripped off from another garment, a bunch of torn embroidered tulles, and a damaged tutu to make it.
Moreover, there are a few small projects in #web3 realm popping in the short-term, which will keep me away from the sewing studio for another week.
The one with the upcoming Thursday deadline is quite exciting since I have only 3 days to produce everything (a mobile-friendly #VR space, 30-minute presentation) and this weekend is the time when I all the planning. But when it’s done, I’ll be sure to share it with this group! 😊
Ah tiens mais y a un truc que je faisais sur Twitter et que j'ai pas encore fait ici : un bon vieux #Steam#Giveaway. Au moins ici il devrait pas y avoir trop de bots à l'affût.
Hésitez pas à booster.
A force d'acheter compulsivement des bundles, je me retrouve régulièrement avec un tas de clefs Steam en trop.
Bon, c'est généralement pas des gros AAA hein, mais parfois c'est juste que c'est pas mon genre de jeux, ou que je les ai déjà.
An #Introduction: I am a galactic cartographer specializing in visualizing astronomical data sets derived from the European Space Agency's Gaia astrometry satellite. You can find a set of posters I created with the help of Gaia mission astronomers here: https://gruze.org/posters_dr3
I am working on a virtual starship to travel around the Milky Way. Follow or boost me if you are interested in the Milky Way and scientific visualization using VR. #Astronomy#VR#Cartography#WebXR
#introduction Ello! I'm a human making games since the 80s. I believe people are more important than money and I'm yer typical jaded old socialist hippie #gamedev. For 5ish years I worked in a 'real' game studio before hating company politics, getting laid off and going #indie. Never looked back. My game RC Rush recently launched on #Xbox. I wrote 4 books about #Unity then switched to #Unreal. My game co. is Tea Monster Games. I love #VR, #retrogaming and I'm obsessed with racing games 😎 🏁
I have many interests, but music is probably the biggest one. I like to listen to uplifting #jpop, extreme #metal and everything in between. Favorites are #乃木坂46, #Watain, #OrbitCulture, #LornaShore.
I also like to post about #fashion related things, including the occasional #ootd. :bd05:
I'm into games as well, both #videogames and #Tabletopgames~ I don't care about genre, only about quality. :bd20:
To be able to afford all this good stuff, I develop websites and #vr applications for a living.
Hi folks! I’m Ted, a games person with over a decade of #programming and #gamedesign experience who currently works at Meta giving deep dive technical and design feedback to help make games great!
I also provide mentorship, give talks, and work to help us all grow powerful together!💜
I'm also a proud #nonbinary ( #genderfluid ) #bisexual, happily married to my awesome partner @jennatar, who helps me take care of our family of 3 #cats (Jezebel, Muffin, and Lucha) and a #dog (Bobby!)
Looking forward to seeing folks' #introduction posts!
