What the hell are we doing? This is apocalyptic. How is this not the most important news to come out today?

Have been very impressed by the work that Project Northstar has been doing for the last few years as a community. This announcement makes a lot of sense and I'm excited to watch them get more people into open source spatial computing.
Today at @FossXR our co-founder @BryanChrisBrown announced the Project Northstar Foundation, a non profit focused on building open source spatial computing. So How do we build an open source future for spatial computing? Time for a thread!🧵 #ProjectNorthstar #OpenSource #XR

Have just submitted my comments. A small time commitment but can't stand how the Oil & Gas industry disregards the established dangers of their behaviour. Can only hope that the gov finally disregards the lobbyists & implements strong regs now as promised during the last election
The federal government has proposed a plan to cap & cut emissions from oil & gas production. It’s 27% of Canada's emissions, but Big O&G is fighting hard to avoid cuts. Public consultations are open until Sept 30th. Use & share our toolkit & be heard! https://t.co/EOKSdW3BnO

I'm super-pumped that we've been working on this! AR & VR users alike need effective technology to share their experiences and I can't wait to get this @MixCastMe update into the hands of those developers making incredible experience for the @TiltFive platform 🚀
We’re excited to announce our partnership with @MixCastMe! Capture and share your Tilt Five experiences on social media and streaming platforms. #awe2022 #ar #gaming

This was w/ teams of 3-40, mostly mobile focused. Am probably just passing 1000 now on the UE side, including working with some prominent third party VR projects. Seems to me like UEs roots of developing w/ editor-optional led to less support for composition by designers but 🤷♂️

Was excited to check out the new show @oculus has been putting on as far as pushing mixed reality broadcasts forward. If anyone was wondering how to achieve shadows similar to theirs 😁:

I was listening really hard but heard the word Atmos zero times! What happened @Scobleizer?!
Today at #AppleEvent you will hear a lot about Dolby Atmos. New surround sound higher quality. Mark Chessler has the best list. Way better than mine, which are more complete but his matches the best I would have picked. Everything here shows off Atmos. https://t.co/U4KAZMQw3T

Minor correct to my remarks in @CixLiv's Space: the (ToF) depth camera tech that ByteDance has acquired went by the name Pico Zense. Does'nt have a ton left online about it though found this courtesy of @SkarredGhost :

We all know that standalone is the latest trend of virtual reality headsets because all-in-one HMDs are more comfortable and work out of the box. That's why Vive has recently announced an interesting...

How are people seeing AirTags working for AR? Require 3 or more around your room to triangulate the position of a 4th object? A 6-DOF controller or 'tracker' doesn't actually seem possible given the current tech... Thoughts @BryanChrisBrown @cinedatabase @JoshuaCorvinus ?

Not everyone's idea of fun but I do get a small high from updating of our software documentation 🤓 Not exactly the simplest task either with our kind of feature-set😅

How I feel sometimes ensuring that our XR/rendering plugin works for both Unity and Unreal from 4+ year old versions up:
