Experimented w/ tracking of lateral mvmt of cardboard HMD, using camera + markers. Works surprisingly well!

This is something I wanted to see happening for a long time: Put your smartphone in a cardboard-style HMD, and have a VR experience that allows you to turn, kneel and stand, walk around… without...

Oh nice, Constructive Solid Geometry in VR!
Spent today fixing some of the bugs with the boolean operations in my virtual reality modeling tool. This is running on my #OculusQuest

Mark your AWE calendars for Friday at 3p. I'll be giving a tour of the many moral dilemmas of XR & mixed reality with a spatialized Ethical Framework.
I'm going to be presenting at @ARealityEvent on "The Ethical & Moral Dilemmas of Mixed Reality." Thanks to @VRWorldSociety for curating this talk! AWE is happening from May 29-31, 2019 in Santa Clara, CA https://t.co/yGkmA2eQ0u

This pretty much is why I think devices like the Quest will win more ppl for VR than e.g. the new Rift: Zero setup hassle, plus the most successful VR experiences not needing super powerful hardware.
Just came to my buddy’s to show him the #OculusQuest, it is his first time experiencing #VR, I obviously had him play @BeatSaber. His take: “This is the most amazing thing I’ve ever tried, I’m going to buy one tonight!”. I had him do the set up and he did it effortlessly. 1/

One of the biggest questions I get is "How do you get started in VR/AR?". This week I'm making a video on the topic, but I want to hear from you first: How did you get started and what strategies did you use to keep yourself motivated? 🤔

.@Frooxius is one if the most talented & hard working VR devs I know, and @neos_vr is one of the most impressive projects I've seen in a while. Check out their latest release video. They're doing a ton of innovative trailblazing here.
After months of hard work, I'm happy to announce a major update to @neos_vr focused on social & usability features (new social hub, friend system, walking/climbling/zero-g, portal guns, Neos Credits ICO, Undo/Redo, redesigned UI's and more). #metaverse

I hope people understand that there's an ethical crisis when it comes to privacy. The philosophical community has yet to provide a comprehensive framework for privacy, & so it's left to major corporations to determine the ethical threshold of privacy. They're doing a terrible job
Big news: Facebook has been paying teens & adults $20/month to give it root access to all data transmitted by their phone. Here's what my investigation found... 1/

This weekend I created a plant-based #MR e-mail client at the #RealityVirtuallyHack. Here berries are e-mails. Flowers are letters from people you love. Weeds are spam. I'm calling it an Organic User Interface. Using nature-based metaphors to represent information! @magicleap

I list a lot of ultimate potentials of VR & AR in this half hour keynote that digests the answers to that question from over 1000 spatial computing pioneers. I personally don't think that it will or can just be about gaming. There's so many other use cases https://t.co/ba060ZZsKw
@kentbye @NoProscenium I don't believe previous hype cycles can compare to this. VR has never been as affordable and easy to get into the average living room as it is today. Now we're just waiting on a reason...

Web page usability matters: https://t.co/wPER3dNLmR users can expect pages to be interactive soon after they're visually ready. To avoid rage clicks/taps, minimize work delaying interactions (like heavy script).
