Do you know why I love this new #AppleVisionPro commercial? Because it conveys the message that wearing a headset is not an isolating weird thing for nerds, but it is as cool as a superhero putting on his helmet https://t.co/N2zdJMXNg4 #AugmentedReality #VirtualReality #Apple

As the saying goes, a picture is worth 1,000 words. These @MEGeorgiaTech students think VR pictures w/interactive visualizations would help students learn complex engineering topics. Their idea won our equity & access innovation competition this year: https://t.co/7UeqLzXjUr

State of GPT - Andrej Karpathy at Microsoft Build Such awesome talk on state of GPT and other LLMs. Karpathy in his usual best teaching style talks about the training paradigms of large language models(pretraining, supervised finetuning, reward modelling, RLHF), prompting

The joy of science fair projects. Only six bridges were “hurt” in the experiment. Never underestimate the ”strength” of a popsicle stick bridge. The camelback truss bridge was able to support close to 63lbs.

The University of Tokyo is scheduled to open a Metaverse School of Engineering in September. @XRSIdotorg’s privacy & safety framework + other resources ought to be factored into the curriculum.

.@johnriccitiello made a good point at #AWE2022 that it doesn't make sense to have a single avatar in the metaverse. As a parallel thought, I think in some worlds you'll want to be yourself (like linkedin) & in others you'll want to be someone different (like pseudo on twitter)

Georgia Tech has broken into the top 20 higher ed institutions in America for research & development spending. GT was the only technological university to place in the top 20 and had the second highest year-to-year growth of any university. #WeCanDoThat | https://t.co/JneecrgEbF

Lessons learned while trying to use @Polycam3D today. #1 scanning dinner entree on white plate is not easy https://t.co/udinotqDGp #2 scanning the baked Alaska was a fail: no one wanted to wait. I wonder why 🤣

It is the season 😋😋😋. My wife started to bake her delicious coconut spritz cookies. (Spritz Cookies are cookies traditionally prepared at Christmas in the East of France, and Germany.)
