All new followers recently are fakes - bots trickling in to make this platform seem more popular than it is. If I post something about XR, it's shown it to fewer and fewer people. I'm so used to it but time to break the "X" habit 😮‍💨🖖 Find me on the web at

Style transfer onto actual game worlds could turn out to be something, as shown here. But there has to be ground-truth game world and rule set or it's not a game.

These non-technical VCs are being promised 100x improvements that aren't coming - particularly w/ this complete evolutionary dead end of video-only AI models as "game engines." Frame-to-frame interpolation w/ zero real app state is just expensive noise masquerading as gaming.

Congrats to @paracreative on our team's first major @Roblox release! As always we pushed the boundaries of the platform in so many ways and made an experience focused on great gameplay - check out the trailer below 🐶😺

I wrote about designing for and implementing this feature in May, but some browser-level issues delayed release until now. Really appreciate @Apple's continued support and enthusiasm for the #WebXR platform! Eager to see where they go from here.

🤏 Escape Artist now supports Apple Vision Pro's gaze-and-pinch `transient-pointer` input for teleport - it's so nice - and all stability issues have been resolved in visionOS 2.0 alongside the mainstream release of WebXR 🙌. The game is truly cross-platform and multi-modal now

The Escape Artist in the spotlight during @mrabkin's Meta Connect keynote last week next to Batman, Spotify & Wordle 📣 Thanks also to @felix_trz & @rcabanier for the shoutout during their excellent #WebXR session. A few more thoughts here:.

RT @rcabanier: Today at #MetaConnect we announced support for immersive PWAs in the Quest browser. Soon you will be able to deploy your #We….

Incredible to see The Escape Artist featured in the Meta Connect keynote alongside the most successful games/apps on the platform! Looking forward to more at the WebXR sessions today and tomorrow

RT @zachernuk: visionOS 2.0 is officially out today! That means WebXR is available by default, and you can use the new things we covered at….

I'll be at Meta Connect in SF from Tues, Sept 23 to Fri, Sept 27 - anyone else going?. Looking for updates re: Quest, Llama models, Ray-Bans, a roadmap following the Spark Studio shutdown, and a new AR glasses prototype 🤞. And I'm ready to start talking about my next game(s)!.

I've finally given over to React after years of avoidance. It's just so portable - use it for web, native, XR, even Roblox - and react-three/fiber is nice for unifying UI & 3D app state. There are a few head-scratchers, like literally every other framework, but I'm liking it now.

Maybe avg. engagement & quality of 3rd-party filters really is so low they're fine shit-canning it all? . Wouldn't totally surprise me. Our stuff does well, but IG totally de-emphasizes/hides filters in UI. It's prob true the core IG audience won't care. Still seems short-sighted.

This has to be a pivot to an umbrella creation suite for Horizon Worlds - surely they can't intend to lock creators out of AR on IG in perpetuity - but they are not giving any hint of that currently. Meta Connect is September 25. If we're going to get any clarity, maybe there?.

Wow, Meta is shutting down Spark Studio. No replacement forthcoming - they're moving all AR filter production for IG to "first-party teams" (themselves). I'm shocked - our team uses Spark all the time for clients like Sesame Street, Enterprise & Bayer.

RT @BelaBohlender: Excited to launch react-three/xr🤳🥽. Leverage the latest WebXR features, reuse your existing interactions, and advance wh….

Wow, it’s real! I appreciate its heft. Is this the first win for #WebXR at @TheWebbyAwards? Anybody know?

Yeah what entrepreneur would want (*checks notes*) instant global cross-platform distribution of immersive apps w/ no install, fees nor curation built w/ a widely-known language based on open standards?. We should instead rely. on Unity? On App Stores?. I'll take the web, thanks.

RT @zachernuk: Want to know more about building great content for the spatial web in visionOS? I had the privilege to cover it at #wwdc24 -….
