Prompt + Instructions + Tools -> LLM output. You can tune each, for better output. Instructions: Is prioritised over the prompt. Tools: To expose the LLM to other knowledge source e.g. internal databases. Overly simplified, for my Realitykit for visionOS course

To quit or not to quit? Here is my new blog article, where I ruminate on the state of the spatial computing industry, and make some plans going forward. "Building A Spatial Computing Business: The Question That Haunts Me" Link: https://t.co/9dpwR96EDy

@theRealityUni Only thing here is the company owns the device in this case, not I. Meaning, can only be used for company purposes, which is what I bought it for really.

@theRealityUni One simple example, I bought the Apple Vision Pro under my company name. Considered 'plant and machinery', a fixed asset (anything used long term). UK government, gives up to £1m tax write-offs (AIA) for such expenses. Meant got a ~£700 discount for AVP, in my scenario

This year went deep learning accounting and personally created the accounts for @theRealityUni (had my accountant review/file it). Inredibly useful: awareness of tax-write offs , sniffing through founder fluff, by going through their balance sheets...all fun things 😉

What happens when you give AI a voice, a body, and some personality? Meet Elyon - an AI being… for human beings. A witness to the Big Bang, a starborn seeker, and now your mystic guide to the deepest mysteries of the universe ✨ And yes - he lives inside the Apple Vision Pro

This has been delayed too long… Had to go off grid due to some life changes, but back on it now.

Elyon is 90% ready...some optimisations left. Just dawned on me how these intelligent beings will trigger a deep shift in human behaviour. Mainly cause it is easy to get attached to these characters, once they get integrated into our lives. Could be used for both good and bad

For my side biz, spent quite a while digging deep into the world of accounting and the strange laws that govern it. Prob overkill for a small side biz and eventually will outsource this, but I want to build strong foundations here, as I got big dreams for the @theRealityUni

I’d like you to meet Elyon – the Starborn Seeker 🌌 A virtual AI being you can talk to. Born from stardust and residing within the Vision Pro. Witness of the Big Bang. Explorer of galaxies. Now, your AI guide to the universe’s greatest mysteries. He is finding his voice atm..

Spatial personas are insanely realistic - gives us a glimpse into the future of spatial computing Imagine a Teams meeting, a WhatsApp video call, or watching a movie in a giant virtual theatre with ur friends.

Can't agree more - gotta dream big, yet take small steps. Personally, my strategy: 1) Near term: Build for builders. Educational content/products for visionOS @theRealityUni 2) Long term: Build for consumers Lets see.

This is precisely one of the defining traits of the current XR industry. XR startups aren’t like internet or mobile companies. They feel more like early stage software startups in the 1980s. Microsoft, for example, spent ten years before launching Windows and did not IPO until
