Probably gonna have to downsample that 1.5 billion triangle mesh:

New paper led by Tash Prescott - we applied equations for speed, etc that are commonly used on dinosaur tracks to tracks made by birds we could watch and time. TLDR: equations aren't even nearly close.

The touch/swipe gesture to open the start menu is also broken. Trying to swipe up to open the start menu locks you out of everything until you press escape.

I tested out the new @RealityCapture_ RealityScan 2.0 on my usual dataset:.

As Apple shows off it's beautiful smooth new #UI, #Windows continues to do it's best at implanting new features with the jankiest most annoying animations they can. Yeah, just #WindowsInsider , but still. it shouldn't be that hard.

Sparrows feeding in slow motion (available in 4k on my youtubes: .

FYI for those doing #XROMM, we've now moved everything over to github:

Modern image formats – which is best? Experimenting with .AVIF and .JXL. Despite having a terabyte of OneDrive storage, it's nearly full, so I looked into shrinking down my photos (and #photogrammetry datasets) with JXL and AVIF:.

Actually, the new features do look awesome:.

Clipboard history <- Amazing.Emoji panel <- dreadful: let us go to symbols/maths by default.Tabs in File Explorer <- ok. Screen recording with Snipping Tool <- Awesome.Phone Link <- ok to good.WSL Windows Terminal <- Best thing here.Dark mode <- Janky at best, broken at worst.

Lots more videos like this on my animals in motion youtube playlist:. Great for biologists and animators.

Wanna see a Goldfinch eating dandelion seeds in slow motion? Of course you do:.

Was at the park photographing birds, got this video of ducks being bastards:. (CW: Ducks mating).

New #openaccess paper in JVP on more #machinelearning for classifying #dinosaur footprints.

Nice video to show off the biggest downside to surface - the borderline unusably reflective screen. Had several surfaces and loved them, but they are just nightmares to use near a window or outside.
