Devices with "mega" and "x" in its name feel like vapourware to me. Okay, Tony bring it on! Lets see!
At AWE Europe I've been able to try the latest headset announced by Shiftall: a 4K x 4K eye resolution device called MeganeX Superlight 8K. Is it any good? Discover it in my latest hands-on! skarredghost.com/2024/10/30/… #VirtualReality #VR #technology #AWE

Microsoft sweeping and cleaning their offering. Too bad for #WindowsMR users being left alone. Luckily we never opted for it in our projects. 😇

Windows MR headsets no longer function at all with Windows 11 24H2. If you own one and want to keep using it, do not install the update: uploadvr.com/windows-11-24h2…

#AR and #MR dead for #Microsoft. Final good-bye to Hololens hardware confirmed. Oh, well. We had fun, Microsoft... But sad to see that I have to always go video-see-through for #AR now... #Quest3 I don't see a proper replacement coming along soon...
On Friday, Microsoft announced the End of Life for HoloLens 2 as Dec 31, 2027 and a "Last Time Buy" to their Mixed Reality Partner Program. The end of life for HoloLens (1st Gen) is Dec 10, 2024, devices will "continue to function, however will no longer receive security updates or technical support."

Totally agreed. Apple destroyed the right mouse button way back, now they try to limit us in SPATIAL computing...
#VisionPro pushes for far interactions but is that the best way? With gaze and pinch, #Apple seems to discourage developers from implementing more direct hand interactions into their experiences. There are certainly some advantages but I thought the whole purpose of #VR and #spatialcomputing was to be immersed and feel like you are interacting with #digital objects as if they were real. I am even more convinced after testing this SDK from SpectreXR that takes advantage of the Nvidia physics engine to make hand interactions feel more natural. Would you use more direct interactions like in the video or stick with far gaze pinch?

Damn, it's about time. My first hands-on trial. I love the pass-through quality! All very pretty, but as of today no need for a B2B case. #avp #hannovermesse #hm24

Looking good! But why so ghosty?
Probado el Spatial Persona con @AlbertoCarlier. Una pasada. Ves a la otra persona moverse en tu espacio (espacio que puedes mover y modificar) y automáticamente todas las apps con SharePlay se han activado. Hemos estado viendo un momento de Vengadores Endgame teniendo la pantalla delante mía y a Alberto al lado comentando la jugada con su Spatial Persona. Solo ha sido un ratito porque teníamos lío los dos, pero esto pinta maravilloso. No tiene sonido, porque no se graba por privacidad de la llamada.
