The standalone color passthrough is IMO the most promising direction for MR. I tested for fun some ideas over the weekend, the magic is there and it’s mesmerizing to play with.
Anyone with a Quest PRO who would like to try this?

#madewithunity
When we stop to think about the future, beyond the limitations of any device, there will no longer be any AR, MR or even VR... There is only a sliding scale of perception, along the spectrum of realities.
However many times the marketing will rebrand alternate realities, in the end we are going to walk through many digital layers at the same time. That revolution starts in your home.

Shapes from
@FreyaHolmer
is a must have if you prototype in VR. No 3D modeling, no lights, no post-effects needed for having amazing fast results. Feels like Illustrator in 3D.
Thanks to the "The Physical Tracked Keyboard SDK" you can use a compatible keyboard as an "Image Marker" to (re)align or sync a Unity scene with one or many players.

After being stuck in the same space for so long, I decided to try mapping it to a virtual treehouse for a more relaxing atmosphere. I think it would be great new feature if Oculus could make the home environments mapped to your real home

XR design tip: To design & test the target size of your UI elements at real-world scale outside the headset, add a plane and set its scale to ‘0.0856’. This corresponds to the universal length of a credit card (8.56 cm).

Quest is a dream for Interaction Designers. "XR first" is not so far away, every single app will be redesigned for alternative realities. At the opposite of Sci-Fi movies, we need designers who understand the transition phase. You can do

Hey! I'm Greg, an Analog and Digital illusionist.
Started XR on stage in 1995 by combining magic, electronics and video projections.
Now a Sr. staff interaction designer

Obsessed with making digital hallucinations tangible, like in my "Unity Carte Blanche" Concept.
Excited and honored to be the keynote speaker at the Stanford XR Conference this Saturday, May 18, 2024, at the Stanford HUANG ENGINEERING CENTER at 11am! Join me as I explore the intriguing question: "Does Reality Continue to Exist When You Close Your Eyes?"

Like the pinch gesture with hand tracking,
#TangibleUI
as a skin obviously produces the best feedback. I've been obsessed with this idea since forever and this influenced all my designs: to keep people connected to the common reality.
Google Maps, but for dreams!
When Brain-Computer Interfaces start recording our nocturnal reveries, they will allow us to explore the latent spaces of humanity's electric dreams.

Moreover, this setup allows creating the illusion that the sound is coming from real objects, voices from statues, and narration from pictures' characters.

So, what could you guys imagine with such a setup ?
I'm also really excited I was able to work with

@arturonereu
on a launch app available for
#AppleVisionPro
! It's a simple app that places a 3D clocks in your space, perfect for that multi-tasking spatial computing setup.
By combining front & back camera you could in theory track head position in space. Which means one can navigate through an audio AR space with great accuracy, for a short period of time though, due to fatigue (but T-rex pose is ok for tracking)

I saw a few others build VR versions of their homes and thought I'd give it a try (

I'm usually really picky with AR concept video. IMO, that one is one of the best example of how you can convey the idea of the user experience without far-fetch promises: the transparent phone is genius !

One of my resolutions for the new year is to make my apartment noteworthy enough in the XR space to deserve its own Wikipedia page.

Turning 40 today, I reflect that the most inestimable gift I’ve had is to be aware of my purpose: "To transmit a better future"
At this milestone, it's time to celebrate meaningful encounters that led me to live my dream of Silicon Valley.
My team (w/

BTW: I'm aware that Apple came up recently with a quite similar idea. This pushed me to publish that one as the first of the series.

Absolutely! It would be great to have the ability to attach Augments, applets, and workspaces to that as well, similar to this example:

I created this it using ARKit 2.0 with Image Tracking,
Could really be how we interact with business cards in the near future.
