Today I Realized:

Though the immersive electronic entertainment industry uses #VR #AR, and #XR for #VirtualReality, #AugmentedReality, and #ExtendedReality …

that #XR is *also* an abbreviation for #ExtinctionRebellion! Imagine my confusion sifting through *those* hashtags that are in languages I don’t speak!

Perhaps this played a big part in why #Apple switched from #xrOS to #visionOS for their #VisionPro headset. 🤔 It’s less confusing, and easier to search/filter. 🤷‍♀️

#SpatialComputing

Very interesting podcast where Grover discusses Fantastical developer’s hands-on experience with #visionpro - I honestly believe this platform will be as transformative as the release of the original Mac. Looking forward to the Super Bowl commercial.

@lobau Really appreciated that discussion, sorry we had to end it earlier.

One of the questions I think we were circling around was “what are the types of spatial/MR experiences people will build, and why would they use our tools?” among other questions.

We came up with a few ideas, but would finding existing examples help?

I’m very excited to share that I started as an Assistant Professor of Computer Science at Princeton University today! 🎉 I look forward to joining the growing @princeton HCI group and continuing my work on #AR and #spatialcomputing.

Excited to announce what I’ve been up to the past few months!

In the spirit of building in the open, we’ve ditched Slack for mastodon. Follow @Michael@volumetrics.social & @lobau to keep up with our latest updates.

And checkout http://volumetrics.io to see what we’re talking about!

@lobau We’re just getting started, and we’ve got a long road ahead of us. But we’re building radically in the open, chatting mostly here on mastodon. So follow us here to keep up with our day to day progress, and for major updates.

We’re very excited to get started, and we’re even more excited to have you along for the ride!

This has been in the works for awhile, but @lobau and I have teamed up on a new project!

I’ve spent most of my career working on XR platforms, and spent 4 years helping build one. it’s been a labor of love, but the dev experience is still very much labor.

The hardware has improved dramatically, but the dev experience remains the same.

We aim to change that.

Great to have some of the Contxtual team up here in Singapore for a big week of #AugmentedReality #SpatialComputing. Couple of days of #AppleVisionPro Dev Labs, a couple of Snap events, and then attending aweasia.com, with Yin and @oliverw@mastodon.social presenting “Design Considerations for HMD AR“ https://www.aweasia.com/blog/oliver-weidlich #UserExperience

Infographic: Spatial computing; A Leap into an interactive future

As we transition into a highly digital era, spatial computing is poised to reshape our perception of work, play, and education.

Here's why augmented reality is not about replacing reality or supplanting the human imagination, but instead promises to extend our human capacities.

Aufm Weg zum Metaverse Meetup #7 im Cologne Game Lab. Diesmal zum Thema #Handtracking und gar nicht so #Metaverse. Dafür #SpatialComputing.

Erst hatte ich echt Probleme Leute zu finden, die was zum Thema sagen können. Jetzt sind wir zu viert!

Wenn ihr noch spontan Bock habt vorbei zu kommen, kein Problem! https://www.linkedin.com/events/somafest-inspirationday7087001043657482240

Where are the revenue opportunities and use cases for new companies in #GenerativeAI and #SpatialComputing?

Cracking away on integrating physics based interactions in #mrjs with #rapier!

This will enable direct touch and complex custom, collision-based gestures.

#webxr #spatialweb #spatialcomputing #mixedreality #virtualreality #extendedreality

Another step on our #spatialcomputing prototyping path with #MagicLeap 2 showing eye gaze for
selection and gesture for action, preparing for the Apple #visionpro Big thanks to Aidan for the
Unity dev :-)

And of course a more complex example! Cloning the VisionOS UX as a point of reference.

Text courtesy of #troika, and built in, courtesy of #rapier!

All of this is built on top of #WebComponents, #rapier, and #threejs, and a (hopefully) easy to use ECS. Along with a few more out-of-the-box features I’ll share later.

Still lots to implement (button, image tag, scrolling, gestures) but v0.1 release is on the horizon!

#webXR #MRjs #SpatialComputing #mixedreality #arvr #openweb

Still cracking away on MR.js. Here’s a look at the improved WebComponents layout API.

I’ve rewritten it to be responsive so windows/panels can be resized. Nothing innovative, but a clean API I can be proud of.

I’m on the hunt for a cofounder for a spatial web startup.

It’s early days, but the goal is to build a cloud-based platform for designing & developing spatial apps in-headset.

Please reach out if you’re interested!
