Most of the time I've no idea what I'm doing.

The #GalaxyXR launch event has finished. To be honest, it has been pretty underwhelming. I'm happy for the launch of a new headset and a new platform, but the pace was very boring, the use cases shown already known, and the attention was more on AI than XR.

It seems that SHARP is working on a lightweight PC #VR headset, something similar to BigScreen Beyond. It is very small and lightweight. The company is also working on some special hardware to provide haptic feedback with controllers

Ben Lang telling me an interesting anecdote from the early days of #VR. It seems that Palmer Luckey was already nerding on Anduril before Anduril even existed...
The full interview with Ben is coming very soon on my blog. Stay tuned!

This can be the superpower of the Neural Band that Meta is giving together with the Ray-Ban Meta Display glasses. The video shows a prototype bracelet by CTRL+LABS, the startup acquired by Meta and whose technology was used to develop the Neural Band.

Hey Meta, I don't like it Typescript either, but age-restricting it is too much even for my standards

"We are working on a new UI so you are going to find all your PC games right alongside your Quest apps all in one place. That's coming NEXT YEAR". This was Mark Zuckerberg at Connect 2020. #VirtualReality
The feature to see PCVR games alongside Quest games has been released in beta now, in 2025 :D

I have recorded how it has been my first day at #MetaConnect, so that you all who could not attend it can see how it is arriving, registering, attending the keynote, having the demos, and more!
I promised I would make you feel like being there...

I couldn't imagine I could be scared by cubes until today! Scared By Squares is a genius indie #VR game that builds a strong horror tension by just using... plain cubes.
You can hear my impressions of it and enjoy some gameplay in my latest YT video! youtu.be/xVRPnvnhmdo

"Between Hype and Reality" is the panel that @GabRoXR, Pieter Siekerman, and me are going to have on the main stage at #UnitedXR Europe. We'll talk about the current status of XR and some if its future projections.
It's going to be fun, it's going to be interesting. Let's meet there in December!

#VR #MR: #Vivo Vision just tried in Beijing! I'll write an article about it next week on my blog, but for now, the short first impressions are: it's a nice clone of the #Apple Vision Pro, slightly worse than the AVP, but lighter (so more comfortable) and much cheaper. It's better than I expected.

These slides are from a very interesting analytical study about the impact of AI to speed up coding by Yegor Denisov-Blanch. His research group carried out a study on 100K devs over three years, and these are some of the most important takeaways: (thread)

This is probably the best tech book I've read so far this year. "AI Engineering" by Chip Huyen gave me a great overview of how LLMs work, how they can be customized to be used inside commercial projects, and the potential dangers and pitfalls of using them!
