Per directory dot file based spatial configuration.

You want to enter a directory in XR and the layout to match your workflow? Sure, just save the file in there, however you want, so directories and files appear just where you want them to.

Spatial autoenv, kind of.

Givin you a lil preview, Wikipedia on Quest3, all offline. OK ok it's not 3Tb, in fact it's "just" 0.12Tb but still, it works thanks to Kiwix!

I'll share details and I'll also try to load my Hetzner StorageBox on (not offline obviously, via WebDAV most likely) as that is 5Tb proper.

Also as pointed to in the article www.uploadvr.com/everyone-is-... there are really quite a few to chose from.

Using the command-line is not for everyone. Sometimes people do not feel comfortable with it... but did you know you can conveniently wrap the command-line with a visual interface?

1-liner e.g. : degourou -f $(kdialog --getopenfilename ~/Downloads/ "*.acsm" )

Solo VR as events in dedicated locations highlights a problem when HMDs are basically the price of few restaurant meals.

up a TON of questions.

Hand tracking is not used despite working on this headset, handled relatively well by the OS and thus pretty much all SDKs.

Yet, they decide to somehow not use it.

So... I work in XR and I'm not a robotic expert.

This part is fascinating to me : teleoperator controls the robot with... a controller, not hands.

Controllers are nice, 6DoF & precise ... but because I do work on hand tracking I can safely say it's way WAY richer than... a claw.

So that opens...

Another funny thing is the #VR gaming section.

Until recently Windows would have been *the* default situation. Here... it's the opposite! Microsoft "Game Link" barely got added days ago whereas @steampowered.com with SteamVR are the de facto standards and have been for years.

(VR) Gaming on Linux.

Marvel at how compact & relatively affordable (~550€ HMD, ~510€ videoprojector, ~20€ cable) at ~1000€ for an entire setup. All that stuff is, relatively speaking, old tech so you can probably get everything 2nd hand for half price.

Demonstrate XR content or collaborate... with a backpack size kit.👌

No way... shit, check this out :

Just yesterday I was discussing this with a friend. Thought it'd take me to scrcpy, adb, Termux, etc. Just plug. Duh!

Subscribed to @uploadvr.com just to criticize Google. I guess rage bait is working!🫡

Jokes aside registered because it's a great #XR source plus they use @ghost.org 👻🐧 free & open source publishing app, maintained by a not-for-profit organisation + open source contributors." (like @404media.co)👌

Warmly recommended, linear then expending in cities, back to linear, very fun puzzles with a bit of action all wrapped in a great story.
