Majorly impressed with DeepSeek R1

The phrase was generated with r1:14B on my local old 3070 laptop GPU with 6GB VRAM

Prompt: Complete the sentence: To be or not to be and put it into a fitness context

It kept iterating on several ideas automatically and landed on that quote

Day 4 of our cheaper DIY "Meta Orion" glasses
Running on a Nintendo Switch with 6DOF tracking

Big Caveat: This is just an experiment and does not have stereo rendering for now because the Switch can't handle the display resolution

Day 2 of building cheaper DIY "Meta Orion" glasses

Rotation does not behave perfectly yet and the tracking update frequency is too low at the moment but things look very promising

My devious plan is starting to work out.

I built social features into XRWorkout letting people share their challenges with others. And now I can get likes for my owm workouts.

Now I know why people are making their own social networks, to get more engagement on their own posts 😅
December 22, 2024 at 3:06 PM
Public challenges are live and everyone can upvote them

Go add your own and make something great

I guess it's not @xreal-global.bsky.social with their limited shipping destinations
So it's @getviture.bsky.social Pro XR for now

To all that are interested, we are trying to jerry rig a DIY "Meta Orion"ish solution with cheaper hardware to make @xrworkout.ai happen outside the VR space as well

Made some clicky button tech. Clickity click click hehehe.
I've always wanted buttons in VR that have some *resistance* to them, but are also light and snappy, not heavy. I think I've found the right balance for my game.

My new motto for UI design:

Just give up

Punch Punch Crunch!

New targets, more music, better video recording, challenge leaderboard, environment creator and more

XRWorkout got a huge update over the weekend!

It's the only free to play gamified full body training in town so what's your excuse for staying on the sofa?

@xrworkout.ai is now officially on BlueSky as well

I'm giving openvibe a try now, that seems to be a mobile client for mastodon, bluesky and threads all at once.

If anyone has experience with it, especially reasons why not to use, it let me know
