Now that App Lab is shipping, I'm going to start doing public app reviews again. I'll aim to do one a month, probably in a video format. This will be a cross between my Connect app reviews and the writeups I did on Facebook for early GearVR titles. oculus.com/blog/latest-oculu…

The Czech Republic went from zero mask usage to 100% in 10 days, and in the process they halted the growth of new covid-19 cases. How? They made their own! They didn't need government help; they did it themselves. It's time for #masks4all. See why: youtu.be/BoDwXwZXsDI 1/

Thread on how anti-nuclear activities are playing out with enormous harm to humanity’s aggregate effect on climate. Climate responds ONLY to aggregate effect. Local or specialized do-goodery doesn’t count unless it adds up. nitter.gq/ShellenbergerMD/status…

So excited to share a sneak peak of the point cloud project our team has been working on to help you relive your memories. This is one of the first experiences we've made that feels entirely native to VR. Check out the demo at F8, videos don't cut it - engadget.com/2018/05/01/face…

Facebook shows it can use machine learning to recreate your childhood home in VR, using only a few photos. - bit.ly/2rbZaok #F8
Facebook also announces a feature for VR that maps your photos to individual areas in a room, and recreates them according to their appropriate spot trib.al/cbCPdv1 #F8
Facebook can reconstruct your childhood home from photos. This is something @SarahMidMO said was the ulitimate potential of VR. It'll be a very nostalgic & powerful application of VR.
