VR pioneer Jaron Lanier was our guru at NYU circa 90s - still remember his lecture on the data glove. He brings wisdom, insight and humanity into a space that needs guidance from a visionary who isn't wedded to profiteering. #xr #vr #ai

We're British colonials who arrived in the New World/NY circa 1650. There are landmark buildings in NYC named after my family. Bloody dare ICE to arrest me. Am really weary of this ANTIFA nonsense.

Creating a version of "The Golden Toad" with only hand tracking. It means conjuring some new mechanics... the hand ray is fun. Just used a custom hand pose to shoot a laser. #xr #vr #mr #unity3d #immersivestorytelling

Post redaction, all we're going to see are mostly blacked out docs... think X-file from the McCarthy era (Travelers ep). Only words left will be "a," "but" and "the."

Oppenheimer - from a low-res colorized shot to a 3d model game-ready for animation - is shockingly quick in Character Creator/Headshot2. Also used SkinGen and Hair Studio. Needs a few tweaks (lips/nose) in PS re texture... and a porkpie hat. #3dmodeling
