Anthropic pays $750,000 a year for engineers who know how to build LLMs from scratch. Stanford just released the exact lecture that teaches it - 1 hour 44 minutes, free, straight from CS229. Bookmark and watch it this weekend. It'll teach you more about how ChatGPT & Claude actually work than most people at top AI companies learn in their entire careers.

I just gave a short presentation about eye-tracking and XR. The slides are here.. slideshare.net/slideshow/the…

Your eyes know more about VR comfort than you might think. When you adjust luminance, shift colour temperature, or apply peripheral occlusion in VR — what actually happens to your body? Our paper introduces the Ocular Command Center framework to find out. [1/8]

Paper spotlight: @kaikaikaikai419 (ECL PhD) presents HeadZoom (ISMAR 2025) — hands-free zoom pan for 2D content via head motion. Parallel Zoom reduced head movement felt lower effort in a user study. ieeexplore.ieee.org/document… #XR #HCI #Accessibility #ISMAR2025

Full 3MT talk is live: Andreia — biofeedback & haptics to interrupt the emotional loop. 🥇 1st Place at the @ABI_bioeng Research Forum. Your body is already running it. Her research is about intercepting it. Watch: youtu.be/Ickb2neXMg0 Read it: andreia-valente.com/#pub/val… #VR

Tamil's SealMates replaced video tiles with a collective seal avatar — animated by group engagement. When the team was in sync, the seal moved. When they weren't, it stilled. Teams felt more connected. Watch: youtu.be/ZEsxjqZvQCw @ABI_bioeng dl.acm.org/doi/epdf/10.1145/…

NEWS: Meta has officially unveiled its $799 Meta Ray-Ban Display AI glasses. • Color 600-by-600-pixel resolution • 20-degree field of view • 5,000 nits of max brightness • 2% light leakage, making it hard for other people to see that there is a display • Gesture control with an EMG wristband that translates the signals created by your muscle activity into commands for your glasses • Comes with transition lenses, and the brightness adjusts depending on ambient UV light • Monocular: display only appears in the one lens • Microphones, speakers, cameras Meta: "The display is placed off to the side, so it doesn’t obstruct your view. And it isn’t on all the time — it’s designed for short interactions that you’re always in control of. This isn’t about strapping a phone to your face. It’s about helping you quickly accomplish some of your everyday tasks without breaking your flow. It’s the first product that takes microphones, speakers, cameras, and a full-color display backed with compute and AI — and puts it all together in a single device that’s stylish and comfortable." Hits U.S. shelves Sept 30th. Expansion to Canada, France, Italy, and the UK is planned for early 2026.
