Over the next few days, I’m going to be sharing some pro-tips about Apple Vision Pro and Spatial media. I’ll add them below this tweet, so bookmark it to come back to it.
I have been known to horse around a little bit, but this one is for real with zero foolin’, I promise🙏🏽 – at Paradise, NV

Sony is releasing a stand-alone VR headset.
* flip up design
* XR 2 Gen 2+
* 4K per eye micro-OLED
* halo strap
This is looking to be basically the ultimate standalone productivity HMD.
I love it!

Happy to share Gaussian Splatting SLAM
rmurai.co.uk/projects/Gaussi…
We show the first 3DGS-based Monocular RGB SLAM, the hardest SLAM setting.
Using 3D Gaussians as a unified representation, the method only requires RGB images - No need for SfM, depth sensor, or learned prior.

Ok no need for a code now, anyone can grab #AChristmasCarolVR right from the Epic Games store, tho you do need a ticket to get past the lobby… unless you can solve the escape room.

It should totally be a default feature on headsets to control smart devices in your home💡
This was surprisingly easy to set up with @GoveeOfficial's developer api

I got tired of the shortcomings of most of the .bvh animation file format viewers out there and decided to write my own.
BVHView is a simple, hackable .bvh viewer written in #raylib that loads files almost instantly and renders them clearly and cleanly.

On the Quest platform, nobody is safe.
I moved my life and family to LA for Meta.
After they acquired @getsupernatural, they killed my completed @Alo fitness app.
They violated our contract behind closed doors, then expected me to be quiet.
I sued them. This is the story. 👇

Bigscreen Beyond is the most interesting and promising new dedicated PC VR headset to come out in years, and while there's a lot to like, we're still waiting on a key piece that will make or break the headset. roadtovr.com/bigscreen-beyon… @bigscreenvr
