I've had this account for 1 yr now & I think I'm going to call it quits ✌️ I started this before the elon-ification of twitter, and it's been very very clear in the past year that the vibe, and structural integrity of twitter is just continuing to die 👎

Hand-tracking bugs in #Pico's OpenXR runtime has finally been fixed in PUI v5.7 (possibly 5.6 too will need to test) and I can re-enable support in ALXR for both #Pico4 and #PicoNeo3 users. Video was captured from PN3. #OpenXR #VirtualReality #VR #PicoXR

Here's our new research paper of an eye and hand gesture UI for AR. It's from last year and we just released a preprint on arxiv. We focused on a handheld UI- but it's strikingly close to the Apple Vision Pro UI (we had no clue). Check it out: arxiv.org/abs/2306.12402

For those who worry about the lack of controllers on Apple Vision Pro: You don't need controllers for artificial movement in VR. Here is the hand tracking alternative we built for Wooorld called 'Glider'. Pull it toward wherever you want to go. Pull it further to go faster. Movement is even more complicated in Wooorld compared to other VR apps & games as we have two modes of movement: 'Map Navigation' (first half of the video) and 'Locomotion' (second half of the video). And in many ways Glider feels better and more natural than controller thumbstick as it utilizes all three axes. *We still have lots of improvements planned for Glider.

This may look banal, but to a seasoned XR developer it's witchcraft. Hand cut outs are the bane of mixed reality devs. They're doing real-time segmentation of your body and cutting it out based on depth of the 3D object in the scene. Haven't seen anything else come close to this
Update! Found this view in a developer session, which I think shows a realistic look at what we can expect in the final version. It's very good, close to perfect!

Hand tracked XR games will be more popular than controller-based XR games 🕹️ Don't underestimate the power of ease of use. We've seen this with smartphones before: for years people said they'd never be as popular as console games, but now they make 2x more with 10x the audience

Feeling like Tom Cruise today, experimenting with #mediapipe hand tracking and @p5xjs. So much fun! Proof of concept.

Here it is! This is a UI/UX test allowing you to look at an object and then pinch with your hand to select it! Also included is a Video player to move around anywhere you want with your eyes and a pinch! It's now available to download!

In #Mixedreality, you can even #brainstorm and think about your next #Career move by letting #AI kickstart the thinking 🧠. There are so many applications for this #technology beyond gaming... RIGHT NOW. @Noda_Tech is one of the many great examples!

10/ Monstrorama is a mixed reality story game where you travel into a museum of monsters and have an encounter with a werewolf voiced by Andy Serkis. Plays with novel hand-tracked mechanics and portals that blend AR overlays on top of your physical environment.
