I'm new to iOS development, but beta testing a virtual camera (vCAM) app on TestFlight. It uses the VMC Protocol. - Warudo support (maybe vNyan?) - NDI Receiver - Action Keys - Pan + Dolly - FOV To do: Tap AR floor to set the origin

@hakuyalabs Warudo VR tracking beta is out! Including prop tracking! This tracker is attached to an older iPad with NDI monitoring. With a WIFI 6 device, you may have even less latency.

@HazVsRPG The launch's technical problems sank it, but the game itself, the stories, and the art oozed love for the genre and what inspired it. I loved the combat as a sword user, no other combat system made me feel like I was a cybernetically enhanced legendary samurai.

@LinusTech Nvidia is the leader because of drivers and software. Stability should be a benchmark over just raw perf. Instead it's often a footnote or mention. Ya'll treat PCs like race cars. Using an Intel Arc GPU was like going back to 2005 with the amount of BSODs there were.

Updates to the facial capture helmet. Replaced the plastic with long aluminum arms that came with gaskets. It's way more rigid. The counterweight is on along some decorative patches. :D Still abit front heavy but swapping out some of the pads inside the helmet made a difference.

@Kana_Fuyuko Vtubers (not the viewers) are a tiny segment to go after with VC funding. I think B2B is a more practical approach to staying afloat while having open access to an app for indies. Engineering as marketing and building an ecosystem of subject experts and community.

I don't consider deplatforming to be equal to censorship. It's the communities and businesses collectively rejecting your ideas and they have every right to do so. Throwing a tantrum won't get your way either. You had your chance and blew it.

Unity's new licensing terms only affect gaming apps for now. Vtubing apps and other software related to film, education, etc., likely wouldn't be included. However, that could easily change in the future.
