Today, I did some aerial photogrammetry from a plane!

Due to the cabin being tight and my cam’s viewfinder disp. not rotating, i had to get clever. Using the HDMI input on my @FatsharkRC FPV goggles, I had a clean feed of my camera, which worked super well!

On July 4, 1891, two Americans reached the summit of Mount Ararat. Naturally, they pulled out their revolvers and shot into the sky.

Sidewall setup

[Zach Herbert 🇺🇸 @zherbert]

This is how I'd fix the iPhone Duo's ridiculous sidebar. I call it Twin Islands.

Two little glass bars: one around the camera for statuses, one at the bottom for app controls.

Apps get the full width of the screen. Controls stay under your thumb. Thoughts?

@Flanz111 @RandomGTAFan To me it doesn’t feel the same. 120 fps 2D gameing in the steam frame doesn’t feel like 120fps on a monitor.

Not sure what it is because the steam frame’s panel is quite good with motion clarity so it’s not that

[Azad Balabanian @Azadux]

Few observations when going from steam frame -> steam deck

- 90 fps feels like 90 fps
- OLED is beautiful
- controller ergonomics are prime
- battery drain while streaming is incredible

Gonna start a thread of all the cool tv hacks I’ve seen over the last 48 hrs

[Rod Pers @srepdor]

Took this one step further.

Vibe coded my own TV OS with Claude Code

No more ads: replaced with a live 3D model of my apartment. Lights + ceiling fan wired in, they turn on in the 3D in real time.

The TV inside the 3D shows the live TV 🤯

What should I add next?

Le puse la interfaz de la Wii a mi TV. Ahora estoy armando el Mii

@squiddymute Both devices were streaming from my 4090 gaming pc. My point is about the form factor and experience of playing the same 2D game streaming to either Steam device

[Azad Balabanian @Azadux]

@evilentity Same. Streaming from PC. Looks and plays amazing

[Arcturus Vision @arcturusvision]

Major update: You can now precision-calibrate your Arcturus Vision Camera for improved comfort. Live on Steam now.

[Azad Balabanian @Azadux]

@anshelsag Too bad the end result is a bit underwhelming

[Azad Balabanian @Azadux]

@CNC_Kitchen This is awesome

[Azad Balabanian @Azadux]

@DeeJzNuts Eh, sorta. The calibration helps the accuracy but not by that much. It also isn’t great across sessions, due to the headset sitting differently every time

[Azad Balabanian @Azadux]

made a steam frame eye tracking visualization + calibration demo

[Godot Engine @godotengine]

Godot will support spatial containers in the upcoming 4.8 release and we are excited to see how developers use these new engine's capabilities.

Spatial Containers bring new capabilities to XR applications to work in shared spatial environments. Read more: https://t.co/DLA0EQcipc

[Azad Balabanian @Azadux]

@pkuhar Ok yours has very nice features. If it’s replacing the battery icon, does it also have the toggles to switch from high power/low power modes that the default battery icon has? I use that quite often
