The lenses in the Steam Frame appear HUGE compared to the Galaxy XR and Vision Pro, and even a Quest 3 - hopefully a great FOV and sweet spot?

Working on exciting things for @brinkxr.com and Android XR! 😎

Last week, I discovered needle felting and it has become my entire personality.

Tell me if I'm understanding this right:

OpenAI inputs millions of frames of Studio Ghibli art to train their models. OpenAI charges for access to these models and currently makes billions. Studio Ghibli gets nothing in terms of payments or royalties.

And this is somehow considered progress? 🤔

"Adapt or Die!" is becoming a battle cry for enshittification.

It's increasingly being said in discussions about the future of gaming, XR, and AI - missing the point that great products require the spine to fight for a vision - often against trends, and sometimes at a cost of growth rate.

Brink shows what Quest's home environments could and should look like. The current ones are just woeful in comparison.

Pushing Quest's visuals to new heights with each release!

Think it's finally time to retire my legendary-yet-aging Threadripper 2950X.
Totally incredible streak AMD has had with Ryzen since then!

Opinions seems mixed on the new Meta Avatars 2.0 on Quest.

I prefer them personally, I think they're a step in the right direction - especially for more realistic environments like ours - but it seems like it's a highly subjective & divisive topic.

Would love to hear your thoughts / preference!

Such a great group of developers to be featured among! Congrats to all! 🤩

Went to the sea cliffs to watch for the Tsunami wave yesterday - which was a no-show - but @martuu.bsky.social spotted a pod of dolphins heading north so it worked out.

Gorgeous clouds over SF this time of year! Shot tonight's sunset overlooking the Zoo via DJI Mini 3 Pro.

Targeted sales on the Meta Quest for events like Black Friday is strange IMO. Devs cant opt out, and it makes marketing much harder if some % of users aren't eligible.

We created a parallel code (BFCM24 -and- BFCM24-458FEE) as a workaround so EVERYONE can use one, but it's clunky and not ideal. 🤔

Blender has made incredible progress these past few years - so much that I've been able to abandon Autodesk products I've used for a decade+ without looking back.

Definitely worth supporting their current fundraiser to get 2% of users to contribute towards its continued growth!

It's sooooo nice having a chronological feed without being algorithmed and advertised to death - AND external links not nerfing visibility so people can freely share their off-site works.

Please never change these core tenents @bsky.app! Charge a subscription if you have to, just keep it this way!

BRINK Traveler's among great company on the top-selling apps list for the #MetaQuest after our dynamic skies & stars update! 🤩

Pushing realism in standalone VR even further with moving clouds and physically-accurate stars & constellations in every one of our immersive environments! I'll make a BTS video about creating the starry-night soon! 🤩

Sneak peak at the new night sky coming to BRINK Traveler!

All stars have accurate brightness & color - and are dynamically oriented based on the current location and date it was scanned. Stars rotate in real time, and pointing at the sky reveals all 88 modern constellations! ✨

We've recently made some big strides in bringing beautiful dynamic skies to BRINK Traveler in our next update for Meta Quest - releasing in the next week or so! ⛅
