XR Design Theory and Practice for Digital Eyewear:

I have a DK2 signed by John Carmack in my room. I’m glad I asked him to sign it at Oculus Connect when I did.

RT @FreyaHolmer: The Continuity of Splines is now on YouTube!!. it has been a year in the making, goodness ;-;🎉 I hope you'll like it ❤. ❱….

I tried Photoshop’s Neural Filters on a Mel Milton (melmadedooks) drawing. This is wild.

@tipatat This seems like your cup of tea.

An analysis of the hype curve over 25 years by VR tech inventor, Imagineer, and general OG Mark Mine:

Some people mentioned it’s distracting that I’m looking off to the side. I shot it in my kitchen and I’m reading the script off my computer.

Some behind the scenes stuff

I was working in buildings right next to Sutherland’s original HMD for almost 4 years without realizing it

Just saw that “see-through mode” is out. Last summer, I made this example of a volumetric video training app with the Mirage Solo and some of @4dviews samples. I was imagining a useful way to learn skills from experts (in the spirit of Bob Ross, Richard Simmons, Julia Child. )

Congrats to Microsoft’s Maquette team for launching on Steam! Lots of nice attention to subtle details in the interface. A useful tool for immersive designers, and free!

I’ll be at Oculus Connect, so if you see me say "hi" and invite me to any parties you’re going to! . Related: One of the reasons I use an avatar of myself in VR is so people can maintain continuity for memories outside of headsets, too.

Lastly, there’s an adjustable threshold for the greyscale’s mapping to transparency. Spent today learning a lot more about shaders to make it look like I wanted.

Under the skin: an MRI session can be easily exported to images. Rather than an admittedly more appropriate voxel approach that I’m afraid of, I lined up the images on quads and made a shader to adjust their opacity based on viewing angle and distance.

Weekend project: By combining a 3D scan with an MRI (don’t worry I’m fine), I can now step out of my body and legitimately look into my head at my own brain.

Florence is great storytelling using basic mobile UX. It’s a 1 hour story with headphones and costs $3.
