I have a much different take on Dynamic Island than what I've seen on Twitter, so I wrote about it this week. Enter Dynamic Island, a major hint at Apple's Extended Reality (XR) strategy proofofconcept.pub/p/welcome…

Amazing residency opportunity alert for artists to explore @MozillaHubs!
This sounds like a pretty neat program! It’s a paid residence for 3D artists to create CC-BY art for the community as a whole to use. hubs.mozilla.com/labs/mozill…

New semester, new classroom! This is the 4th iteration of my Design Thinking class at @gmusoa, and think it’s going to be the best one yet. More exploration, more brainstorm, more prototyping, and a LOT less lecture - all based on the feedback from previous students.

Have you struggled to use augmented or virtual reality (XR) because it wasn't accessible for you? Alternately, has XR technology made life better for you or someone you know? Your story can serve as a catalyst to help others. docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F…
