You know that AR project I was super excited about? IT WON Niantic's Lightship AR Demo Challenge 🥳 Thank you Niantic!!! So proud to have won a competition by an AR company that inspires me 😁
It’s landed! Lots of demos that captured the planet-scale possibilities of AR enabled by Lightship. Check out the grand prize winner GeoGlitched by Patrick Catanzariti and runners-up from our Lightship AR demo challenge! nianticlabs.com/blog/ardkdem… #ardk #ar #lightship #niantic

I've been striving to exercise not just to get fit but for the longer term implications too. As incredible as technology and scientific advancements are, sometimes the most effective thing is just putting in the work 🏋️
Halving your risk of cardiovascular disease, reducing your risk of cancer, reducing your risk of metabolic disorders like diabetes, or respiratory conditions like COPD... Exercise does it all. #Exercise #Physiology #Fitness #Wearables #RealityCrafters instagram.com/p/DdgRnVIlHQe/…

... But it can be fun sometimes doing that work in a VR headset or helped by smart glasses 😉

It is insane how much exercise actually changes you - beyond the obvious things everyone knows about! Tech can now help you monitor and see some of this change too where previously it would have been entirely invisible to the regular person.
Don’t skip this one... The changes your body goes through when exercising are genuinely much larger and more all-encompassing than you’d expect! instagram.com/p/DdQ0Z7QlHAf/… #Exercise #Physiology #Fitness #Wearables #RealityCrafters

How quickly things move in emerging tech! We just deleted our Livestream HUD @MentraGlass app that provided real time Twitch chat and speech-to-text capabilities for posting in chat on my Even Realities smart glasses.

It was all born from me needing to keep track of chat and respond hands-free now that we've got a tiny daughter running around who likes to try to contribute to Twitch chat on my keyboard 😅

Mentra is moving away from Cloud to a new SDK that runs locally (a great idea) but it will mean we'd need a bit of spare time to port the idea across! I might try to port it across on an upcoming Dev Diner stream...

THE DAY HAS COME! Let's celebrate @meriamber's Streamversary together in a few hours!!! 🥳
It's STREAMVERSARY DAY! I'll be live on Twitch very soon & hope to see you there 🧡 P.S. If you're @JeffBezos, @MrBeast or insane, today would be a great day to get an Impossible Year 😋 meriamber.square.site/produc… Alternatively... Come by and get a Meowi squishface for 100 bits!

Ergh... Several years later and the @Suns actually do it. So gross and disappointing to hear Miles Bridges is on the Suns now.
For an organisation like the @Suns who are looking to be a source of inspiration and have a truly changed culture post-Sarver, bringing on Miles Bridges is disgusting and the wrong move. @Espo is right on this one.

The Sydney AR community inspire me every single #SydAR. People are doing incredible things and are so open to sharing their experiences. After returning from #AWE2026 and being blown away by their amazing international community, it's nice to see Sydney holds its own 😊 #AR
We couldn’t be more grateful for the fact that the Sydney AR community is growing faster than ever. Despite constant limitations on hardware access and being quite far from where much of the big action is happening, Sydney’s AR community is punching well above its weight. 1/8 🧵

There's more I'm eager to do with SydAR... I finish each meetup seeing so much I want to adjust, tidy up, change & expand - but for now, it's nice to look back and be proud of how far we've come 🙏 Thank you to each and every one of you who make SydAR the community it is today.

Last week was a dream come true, as we attended our first ever AWE event, AWE USA 2026. Augmented World Expo is the biggest event of its kind, featuring all the magic and wonder of the mixed reality world. #AWE2026 #SnapSpecs #XRGuild #AugmentedReality #XR #RealityCrafters

Record numbers have RSVPed for SydAR this Wednesday!!! We've hit our limit and are building up the waitlist 😅 We're in need of support in one particular area at the moment... food and drinks! If you're reading this... can your company help us and become a sponsor of SydAR?

Community is essential. Feeling that sense of belonging, being with your "tribe"... it's so important. We're honoured that we get to organise one very special community here in Sydney - #SydAR

The highest ascent, the fastest run, the most epic journey and the most spectacular adventure... All started with one unremarkable step. Then another. And another. #practice #personalgrowth #selfimprovement #digitalwellness #realitycrafters

Excited to try coding for these Everysight Maverick AR glasses, as well as the Even Realities G2s! Gonna be some fun and curious AR prototyping in the coming months!
