It has eye tracking. Mouth tracking. Full finger tracking sensors (knuckles), 2160x2160. Wireless. HIP tracking, adjustable ipd, and it's $449 usd, apparently

Do your part and leave a positive review for
#VRChat
, if you agree.
They are an incredibly passionate group of devs who have enabled so much, and allowed myself and
@HIKKY_Official
to spread our wings and fly.
If you feel they're still the best, as we do, let's fix this.
You might no realize, but this is actually huge.
iFacialMocap OUTPUT is opensourced to connect to about everything that normally uses it.
Yes, this means you no longer need an iphone for vmagicmirror,luppet,vseeface,vcapstudio... you can just use nvidia broadcast or obs.
If you can't take 15 seconds to click a few boxes in the next 7 days for your chance to blow up, and promote your art and content... and put yourself in front of millions of people passively: I'm not sure what else to say. Applying to Vket is completely free.
PSA:
Open the store in windows.
Click any app provided by "Microsoft Corporation" and click the link to filter by microsoft. INSTALL EVERYTHING that says "video extension" or "Image extension", ESPECIALLY VP9, AV1, VP8, AV1, webp.
Revel in your format support. Thank me later.
Holy shit
@SteamVR
is paying attention to
@VRChat
and

in a huge way now. This is the biggest "they get us" "the future is bright" icing on the cake discovery ever mined from valve's software updates ever IMHO.
Think: VRC is the only major app using OSC for this data.

this smacks of chatgpt 3.5 turbo. They asked an ai to make a "intelligent argument" to add the features they wanted and posted it with little editing. 3.5 turbo always puts "in summary," at the end of essay style writing with most "be smart and use big words" type prompts.
Realtime. In

It's amazing to me how much potential this platform has (the same as the unity engine behind it) yet people in the early days and now dismissed it because "second life looked better".
No, you just don't know where to look.
@Hamptonism
This needs a community note. As presented here isn't a reality, and Japanese minimum wage is higher and labor laws are strong.
The robot is a pilot program that began in FamilyMart stores in 2020. The company is called Telexistence, the robot itself is called "Model-T".

To give you an idea of how good these trackers are, we had a live dance demonstration. Keep in mind. 12 trackers. 2 phones. Out to net and back. Room FULL of interference!

That special moment: where Anime and video games are indistinguishable from one another is fast approaching. Any one of these scenes could also be a

Check out the Project Mugen debut trailer featuring characters and gameplay in an urban open world.
The free-to-play RPG will launch with NVIDIA DLSS 3.
Finally repurposed the graph shader I made for Udonity and gave my vehicle monitor the ability to graph any variables I want.
In this example g-forces, torque, rpm and acceleration.

Not the best start to the weekend.
Biking to work this morning I managed to fracture both bones in my ankle. Pretty intense tbh. I need surgery. Hopefully can get it tomorrow.
Today we tried networking animations from one avatar to another using OSC. It's networked outside the game so it even works when we're in different worlds.
Oh neat! So, this is a midrange PCVR headset that is SteamVR compatible. You'll be able to buy it in japan for around 78,000 yen. It's 5.64 inch 3664 x 1920 120hz panel is fastLCD and it's made by Sharp. DP 1.4 + USB3.2, 116deg fov. 280g! Fresnel lens.

Literally daily. No in app volume control is problematic when headphones need to be driven at a certain level to drive them with distortion, so I need to adjust the app itself.
Sometimes it's also useful to know where sound is coming from.
@NikTekOfficial
Nvidia has a true monopoly on cards that actually do the things I need them to do. AMD has great tech - but none of the groundbreaking acceleration necessary for my work space is as open source or accessible as nvidia. I don't hate them, but competition is good and needed. Nvidia

For what it's worth: I have not heard or interacted with anyone on any VR social application, especially the one mentioned, who seemed a day under 19 years of age in about 3 years. I've met one person who claimed to be 16. I've also never encountered the behavior described.
So as a testament to

Social media metrics starting to moon: It looks like VRChat's mindshare is starting to change. Other platforms use traditional advertising. The creators here are finally starting to break through the manufactured noise of other platforms. We've -always- been the largest group.
To be clear:

Pool is a social game, it makes no sense otherwise.
If there is one thing I wish everyone knew about vket by the end of this event is that it's to uplift indy and small creators.
There are 26 worlds. 3 of them are temporary, to help pay for the hundreds of employees and tens of thousands of man hours it takes. Just 3.

Hot take from a rural Canadian: and yet, without those states LITERALLY EVERYONE in Los Angeles would starve. The entire country would fall in to looting and anarchy within 7 days.
I'm not sure how to put this, but those blue states matter a fuck of a lot more than Los Angeles
It's amazing how people immediately create things with a new feature that are COMPLETELY different from how they were initially presented. Hand gestures in
#VRChat
way back in the beginning were the same way.
So, part of the reason why I'm so into this thing is that it mimics something we've been doing in
#VR
for about 5 years, way back to

Virtual, level 4.
Being able to be surrounded by incredible effects on a "skybox" is amazing, and this mimics that in a physical venue.
If you're thinking of visiting Japan, consider going during the last week of

It takes years to build the metaverse. That being said, you can help to build it too.

Username removed because it's not about who said it. I'm posting this because I see the same disinfo every single day. My little soapbox is often dedicated to making sure that developers are not heaped blame for things out of their control. It makes it harder to grow VR!

@OnDeck
I'm sure others have said this to you before, but just in case: those issues are not VRChat's, it's a fundamental "problem" with DirectX, model formats, and the freedom that VRChat gives creators. There are built-in ways to prevent 90% of those types of crashes using config.
