We are hiring to build the industrial Metaverse. If you are a web developer and the 2D nature of your job starts to be a bit boring, we want you on our team. If you like to think outside of the (2D Desktop paradigm) box, we have a Job for you.
Happy Fractal Flame Friday! Make your own by clicking and dragging around hobinjk.github.io/fractal-fl…

With identity hidden, Aiza joins the army to become a Knight. With mismatched friends at her side and a one-armed mentor, she looks for a different ending to the stories being told.

A great overview of the work we're doing in the Reality Lab! Reminder that almost all of this is open source for your own experiments 🪄
A decentralized and distributed #Metaverse requires independent tools and applications – from robot control to posture analysis to tutoring – all of which coexist in the same 3D environment.
Our vision for the #Metaverse, a thread 🧵

Read the comic book put together by @PTC_RealityLab , a visual tool which shows their vision for #SpatialComputing and #DigitalTwin. Virtual Spatial Sensors combined with Spatial #Programming allow for precise emergency event coordination.

The latest from my group! I'm very proud of the work we're doing to bring the power of insight, communication, and configuration to everyone.
A #realtime #Spatial #DigitalTwin that records all motion, calculates all future motion pathways, knows about all #IoT and spatial communication, allows you to continuously discover how to do a better job and foster a dialog across hierarchies and departments. #Metaverse
Yuanzhi has been an inspiration to work with! He's already brought some great ideas to the team and I can't wait to see what we come up with next :D
Meet our new #PTCRealityLab member Yuanzhi Cao @CaoYuanzhi, a master of human-machine interaction and #SpatialComputing 🤖 ptc.co/DMHX50EnxtP
With the help of the latest @adafruit adabox I've made my new favorite project! It's an e-ink refrigerator magnet which displays the latest glitched tarot cards from @thelastdeck.

Oh hey that's me! It's been a joy working with my team @PTCRealityLab and I can't wait for us to show you what we come up with next!

Check out this webinar by our member @afuste with @xrpedagogy talking about #AugmentedReality interfaces for learning Computational Thinking 👾🔸💭 ptc.co/Uc2c50ChSxg

Led by @dervali, the @PTCRealityLab is exploring #SpatialComputing in industrial environments and how #AR can provide an intuitive user interface at architectural scale.
I finished a very basic version 0.1 of an @MozillaIoT interface for the @PTCRealityLab spatial toolbox edge server! I'm having fun controlling my zwave lamp in AR. If you want to try it out for yourself, start here: spatialtoolbox.vuforia.com/d…
Horrible news from Mozilla. My heart goes out to everyone who now finds themselves in an uncertain position. If you're interested in working on the intersection of AR, IoT, and the web feel free to reach out to me for opportunities at @PTC / @PTCRealityLab #MozillaLifeboat (1/2)
My email is [email protected]. If a website is more your speed there's ptc.com/en/careers (2/2)
I wrote a tutorial on how to bring a-frame into augmented reality using the Vuforia Spatial Toolbox! With just a couple lines of code you can attach 3d content to the real world.

Next stop: playing with home IoT hubs (check out github.com/ptcrealitylab/vuf… for a sneak peak)
Super awesome to see this come together!
So pleased to see this @MozillaIoT kit launch. And a bit proud, having initiated the idea... ;)
