What if we could use 3D printed models of buildings to display contextual information with the power of #AR? This is what I try to answer with my latest demo, built with @unity, Apple’s #Roomplan API, @FreyaHolmer #Shapes, @Metascan3D and @Vuforia #augmentedreality

Those of you avoiding #BuzzLightyear are doing the right thing. I saw it in a theater last night and I’m still processing my horrifying experience.

Follow along as I do a series of structured @Apple RoomPlan tests and share my findings/notes in this thread.
First up, I tried tricking RoomPlan with a large mirror. Surprisingly it wasn't fooled! Also, it was way off on french doors height.

Very impressive how quickly it builds a 3D map of my house. 👏 @Apple

This Apple “Roomplan” scanning looks incredible. Beautiful ‘scanning’ touches in iOS 16 as seen here and with object isolation in the Photos app are really nice touches. developer.apple.com/augmente…

Every time I see Ukrainians post photos of the unprovoked Russian shelling of their cities, I think "In 2003 that was how Iraqis felt about us."
About 7000 Iraqi civilians were killed in the first 2 months of our "Shock and Awe" bombing campaign.

There's a joke that's been revived in a bunch of countries along these lines.
Man stands on a street in Hamburg, 1918, with a sign that says "the king is an idiot". Police arrest him. He says he meant the British king. "You can't fool us," they reply, "we know who the idiot is"

iOS 15.4 beta adds AVFoundation support for the LiDAR Sensor (registered to a color camera.)
Pros: more configurable, less overhead than ARKit. Excited to leverage this in @Metascan3D.

I managed multiple engineering teams before quitting big tech.
Now that I quit, I can speak freely.
Here are 12 things your manager may not be telling you, but I know for a fact will help you. 👇

Every so often you get numb to living in generally dystopian times, and then a new wave of the global pandemic hits, a school shooter kills his classmates with a gun his dad bought on Black Friday, and a theocratic court moves to throw out reproductive rights all on the same day
