Excited to be going into the Meta Reality Labs building, where all the really interesting stuff is happening.

One very big item off my bucket list ✅

Majorly impressed with DeepSeek R1

The phrase was generated with r1:14B on my local old 3070 laptop GPU with 6GB VRAM

Prompt: Complete the sentence: To be or not to be and put it into a fitness context

It kept iterating on several ideas automatically and landed on that quote

Day 4 of our cheaper DIY "Meta Orion" glasses
Running on a Nintendo Switch with 6DOF tracking

Big Caveat: This is just an experiment and does not have stereo rendering for now because the Switch can't handle the display resolution

Day 2 of building cheaper DIY "Meta Orion" glasses

Rotation does not behave perfectly yet and the tracking update frequency is too low at the moment but things look very promising

My devious plan is starting to work out.

I built social features into XRWorkout letting people share their challenges with others. And now I can get likes for my owm workouts.

Now I know why people are making their own social networks, to get more engagement on their own posts 😅
December 22, 2024 at 3:06 PM
Public challenges are live and everyone can upvote them

Go add your own and make something great

My new motto for UI design:

Just give up

Punch Punch Crunch!

New targets, more music, better video recording, challenge leaderboard, environment creator and more

XRWorkout got a huge update over the weekend!

It's the only free to play gamified full body training in town so what's your excuse for staying on the sofa?

If anyone wants to put me on their bluesky starter pack list, I am usually posting stuff about hacking things together with VR, the latest features we have cooking in xrworkout and about our dogs

You know whats coming now. Moarrr Environments 🤌
Although this one I just made myself during testing not from our users
And yes, we internally need to workout too to have enough XO in our accounts to build environments 😰
October 22, 2024 at 6:18 AM
We are officially out of a job. Our users are running wild with the environment generator inside the game and we can just sit by and be amazed at what they come up with.

At that rate we need to make it possible to share environments with others as soon as possible
October 21, 2024 at 4:52 PM
My favorite pastime each morning now is to see what environment our beta testers created for their workout 🤩
October 20, 2024 at 10:20 AM
Our first private beta testers started exploring the environment generator and how quickly they got the hang of it blows my mind

I've always dreamed of giving our players the ability to workout wherever they can imagine and seeing the joy this brings firsthand is truly fulfilling
