Recording from recent playtest. 10 headsets connecting (almost) seamlessly, but still many bugs to squash

Hello LA

I’ll be at AWE USA, and I’ll be helping host a roundtable with @RayMosco and @ConnectomeGame on XR LBE. Hope to see you there! awexr.com/usa-2026/agenda/20…

We teamed up with researchers at Meta @RealityLabs to stress-test what's actually possible with Gaussian Splatting, and especially with volumetric video. Reconstructing buildings on a sunny day or celebrities in controlled studio conditions has gained a lot of traction. But what if the goal is to bring the viewer to an actual electronic rave, with zero compromises allowed? High-frequency strobing lights, fog machines filling the space with haze, complete darkness that clips the camera sensors to black. It was brutal, but together we pulled it off. We're proud to present a teaser of our joint project: an actual performance of 'Patience' by NYC electronic duo @membamusic, captured in full volumetric format and optimized for a wide range of devices. We didn't design this reconstruction around what the tech allows. Instead, we customised our pipeline to make the experience as immersive as possible. More details coming soon.

who decided on the names tablespoon and teaspoon??? they are too similar at a glance. I just ruined a perfectly good dish with a misread amount of salt

Holy Shit!: Companies can also now build their own spatial accessories that work with Apple Vision Pro! “Using IR LEDs and an IMU for precise, low-latency six-degrees-of-freedom tracking, along with physical inputs such as buttons, touchpads, and haptics. These devices can be tracked at up to 90 Hz, supporting high-motion use cases and tracking under low-light conditions Manufacturers, including DFRobot and MikroE, will release off-the-shelf reference hardware and development kits later this year, which will be available for testing or direct use in your visionOS app.”

Making good progress on lasertag live scanning V2. Hoping to have it done enough to show around AWE

Just so you know, it may look like "Rainbow Flag" T-shirts that I'm wearing today, but I am not a gay.

Today Instagram had this massive exploit where hackers were just stealing rare handles left and right. Hundreds of accounts gone. People losing handles they’ve owned since 2010, some worth hundreds of thousands. I own a few rare ones so I was actually stressed watching this happen in real time, which I haven’t been in years. Obama White House account got hit. These aren’t some random new accounts, these are verified, locked down accounts and they still got compromised. The thing is the exploit is so simple it’s almost funny. Attacker goes to Forgot Password, says their account is hacked, turns on a VPN to match the target’s location (which now you can find on the about section of the page). Instagram’s AI support flow asks them to verify with a selfie. They grab a photo from the target’s profile, run it through an AI video generator to make an animation of the person’s face moving around, upload that to Meta’s AI as proof. And Meta’s AI just accepts it because it can’t tell the difference between a real selfie and an AI-generated video of someone’s face . Once verified they change the email to theirs. Password reset link goes to their email. They own it now. 2FA gets bypassed somehow in the process but honestly I don’t know exactly how, just that it did. Point is even locked down accounts went down. Then you try to recover your account and you’re talking to a chatbot that has zero ability to help. You can’t escalate to a human. You’re just stuck. Your asset is gone and there’s no one to call. The whole thing just highlighted how stupid it is to automate account security without any human in the loop. One AI fooling another AI while there’s literally no person anywhere to catch it. Meta took hours to even acknowledge it while accounts were getting stolen every minute. Now thankfully it’s patched but I don’t think it will be the last one. Stay safe!

Just published my blog post on extended Kalman filters! It's fully interactive and if you want to mess around with these diagrams (and see what other ones I made that didn't make the video), give it a read! Link below

some call it micrographics, some call it labels, we all love them because they got undeniably aura

Since I keep seeing this, it made me think about what a pointless endeavor it is to "parody" Infowars at all. Nothing you can do will ever be funnier than what Alex himself did for like 20 years.
