It’s a beautiful evening to enjoy some WebXR. The team over at Agog has embraced the current potential of WebXR and compiled everything they’ve learned about their journey to share with the world to help others. This is a great example of an organization “talking the talk” and following on with an excellent demonstration of “walking the walk” and I’m excited to see where it leads :)
Thrilled to launch Agog with my friend @wenschmidt. Our goal is to help people use the newest media technology--VR and AR--to imagine a better world. And we want to help make sure that social justice and equity are at the fore as this form of storytelling develops. @weareagog
Thanks to Agog, extended reality could just as easily be called empathic reality. Excited join @cgiller to bring new media technologies to storytellers with a vision for change.
It's a sad day today. I am still a huge believer in spatial computing use cases being streamed but I'm sad to announce that we're shutting down PlutoSphere. uploadvr.com/plutosphere-shu…
Today, we share a heavy heart as we announce the shut down of #PlutoSphere. This journey has been filled with highs, lows, & unforgettable lessons. We are profoundly grateful to our community & everyone who has supported us along the way. Your belief in us fueled our journey.💔🚀
Majin getting a bigger monitor setup but only being able to load 1 program at a time. That's the current state of VR operating system design. The future is multi-apps / overlays for multitasking
There are many Meta Quest apps that don’t give a good reason to force you into an exclusivity realm just for a single use case
You’re forced to watch Netflix/YouTube in their environment. You’re forced to launch immersed to access your PC’s word document program
It’s silly
It’s so interesting to me that Vision Pro’s default use will be running probably multiple apps at once, not a singular app. I know there will be dives into a single app, but it’s a definite shift from the mostly one-app-at-a-time Quest experience
NETWORKING THREAD 🚨 Apple in XR is going to mean lots of new people joining the conversation. If you’re in the industry and want to connect with new people coming in (or vice versa), drop a line here to introduce yourself so peole can follow you. RT to spread this list around!
Hope future convos about metaverse interop go into more gritty details than vague notions / aspirations
When it comes to the subject of open standards could atleast mention things like glTF / VRM
Read / listen to how @TimSweeneyEpic talks about it github.com/M3-org/research/b…
First test importing 3rd party NFTs directly into the world from a user's wallet. Not just as picture frames but rendered as the actual filetypes!
Screenshot includes @cryptovoxels wearables, VRMs from @metaani2 and @cryptoavatarsio, and some image NFTs. #threejs#webxr#gamedev
I’m having way too much fun since we hit a recent milestone at @PlutoVR! Now you can make @unity3d based #WebXR multi apps that can run in any reality and alongside other apps in @SteamVR . Tutorial is up on the multi app section over at pluto.app
