[In a WG meeting discussing improving hybrid and online experiences]
Me: Why doesn't (one of our colleagues) see the power of #VR for conferences? Has he just not had the right experience?
Colleague 1: I think he hasn't found the killer use case yet.
Colleague 2: Honestly, maybe we should just find the next large-scale furry conference in VRChat and throw him in for an hour. He might not be quite the same after, but I do think he'd believe he'd seen the use case!
Costs 7x more and does 4x less. Having used both the Meta Quest 3 with Touch Pro Controllers and the Apple Vision Pro... I kept and use my Meta Quest 3.

I'm pretty creative, I kinda want to do a lot of things, learn a lot, currently that is learning how Blender works and how to make it work in the 3D world.
I also draw and do photographing sometimes, really depends on the mood :p
Always fun to meet new friends and to learn, but also learn others.....
Oh and I'm a very good listener, always in for helping someone out :3
My Fursona is a Cheegon, which is a Cheetah / Dragon Hybrid.
Recent changes are that he has glowy parts and got his wings back (which you do not see on here yet (gotta draw again!)).
Oh and eh.... yeah, I'm lewd, pretty much every day! but I'll be sure to use a CW for that once I have a bit more spicy posts coming :p
So yeah, that is pretty much me in a nutshell, want to know more about me, I'm a open book, so just ask!
The Janelia #Unity Toolkit now supports panoramas, back-projected onto a cylindrical screen, updated in real time for a tracked viewpoint within the cylinder. The intended application is #VR for #Neuroscience studies of animals like #Drosophila. The code is a byproduct of another project so it's a bit experimental, but it's fun to watch examples like this one, meant to be displayed with three adjoining projectors. (1/2)
Will the Apple Vision Pro be a game-changer for photography like the smartphone was?
Mobile photography expert (and former USA Today tech columnist) @Photowalks shares a slate of predictions, reviews and analysis — and offers his own take too.
(This is Horizons Workrooms, where your computer connects to the headset to put the display into the #VR meeting room and you can see--via the pass through cameras--a small square in front of you with your keyboard and... tea mug.)

So, "on average, the pockets in women’s jeans are 48% shorter and 6.5% narrower than men’s pockets. [...] Only 40 percent of women’s front pockets can completely fit one of the three leading smartphone brands."*
Yet, #Apple made a #VR headset that can't work without being plugged to an external battery the size of an iphone.
