Tried to find an opportune moment when the line to test the meta boba HMD wasn’t too long 😅 NGL that extended field of view is amazing 🤯 SIGGRAPH2025
General critique of VR demos remains that… we need bodies in VR 🤣 enough with the disembodied views.

Here’s an interesting selfie (?) from the #SIGGRAH2025 art gallery. As you move around, or linger, your outline becomes intertwined / entangled with the fungi growing under a tree.
Kind of like being a postdoc.

some really cool / bizarre demos here 😅 always interested in haptic interfaces though. How about this referred touch interface? #SIGGRAPH2025

amazing to hear some of the behind the scenes stories… “Disney suggested a musical… and adding 5-7 songs. It worked for them” 😆

and that’s a wrap for #SIGGRAPH Asia. A great pleasure to present #medicalXR to a new community and learn about #storytelling and #gamedesign in exchange.
Also got to meet #EPFL alumni +installations and pass by #KojimaProductions for a quick selfie with the #Ludens statue 😁

First full day at #SIGGRAPH Asia yesterday. So many highlights 😅 from playing Gundam in VR to Sessions in Storytelling and Final Fantasy’s Active Time Lore.
@rethemnos76.bsky.social and I will be giving a course on computational #medicalXR on Thursday.

...and what we find (somewhat #oversimplified) is that there is evidence, both from motor performance and motor awareness thresholds, for an effector-independent mechanism that provides a direct link between low-level sensorimotor transformations and abstract motor representations. #motorEquivalence

this allows us to quantify how accurately we perform the task in undeviated trials, but also deviated trials requiring participants to adjust their ongoing movement to an angular deviation (randomised across trials).
After each trial, participants judge (Y/N) if the feedback matched their movement.

to do this, we essentially built a #humanJoystick (not like that) so that we can have matching goal-directed tasks for both arm/hand and full-body movements.
We adapted the #volition paradigm by Nielsen (1968) and Fourneret & Jeannerod (1998) to measure motor corrections and awareness.

Look what I found! #HTC #VIVEFocusVision. Only did a quick test but seemed very comfortable and sturdy. Auto-IPD adjustment was interesting (tiny motors whirring)
