Figmin XR on a Steam Deck! 🤯 I wasn’t even thinking about doing this port… until I tried it, now I can’t put it down 😁 It’s live on Steam if you want to check it out 👍

🎂 It's my birthday! 🎂 My present = Meta RayBan Display! Bitter-sweet though, my old Meta RayBans had access to the new Advanced AI, (which is absolutely delightful). These new ones have a dummy Llama 4 assistant and makes me sad, will be 🔥 once upgraded though 👍

🤔 Why a Steam Deck port? I initially made a PC windowed port (out on Steam too) to make Scripting easier. Out of curiosity i tried it on a Steam Deck and it ran beautifully, and was so fun so I thought I might as well support everything on Steam 😊

Figmin XR for Steam incoming! 🚀 The Steam Frame announcement got me interested in the whole platform. I have a build that runs in VR, Steam Deck and Windowed on the way, hopefully next week Windowed mode is going to be awesome for developing Figmin XR spatial apps on your PC

#AndroidXR is a pretty awesome OS 👍 Google sent me a dev-kit and I've enjoyed my time using it. I feel that this OS was designed for AR first and I absolutely love that! It's going to be amazing running on smart glasses, I can't wait! 🥰

Nobody asked for a #VisionPro with better graphics. I’ll just leave it at that 🤐

My thoughts on Ray-Ban Display. The waveguide display is amazing, it's the first time I experience one that doesn't have severe issues (Sorry Hololens & MagicLeap). It's monocular, so at first it felt really odd, but after a while I got used to it and was fine, this is ok for a

The excitement about Ray-Ban Display is encouraging 😊 See-through displays are the future, it's always been clear to me. This is a stepping stone, Meta Orion is what I've always dreamed of.

This one looks pretty cool and could shift the weight away from your nose and give you more real state for compute/battery.

I wish the design of the #RayBan display glasses were a bit bolder, more futuristic. They’re trying too hard to look “normal,” but there’s nothing normal about them. They’re special — so why not let them look the part? I want some Cyberpunk 2077 style AI glasses 😊

Why has MR/Spatial Computing been stagnant? If you ask me, a few years ago we lost both of our visionaries @akipman and @rabovitz (alphabetical). Without visionaries to lead the way things naturally take much longer. I do still believe this tech is the future, and continue

For the longest time I've dreamed of turning #FigminXR into something truly unique, an app of apps, a #MetaApp. Basically a platform for user-generated spatial apps, you've seen this done before for games. But now (with the power of #AI) anybody can write an app and that's what

The biggest "Wow" 🤯 was to see it create this shape. I just said "make a 3D Shape out of hexagonal sides", it wasn't possible but it made this instead, absolutely beautiful. Here's the thing... it's made with single stroke using the hull brush, impossible task for a human 😲
