Is there anyone in the Houston area who has a Lenovo ThinkReality VRX?

Oh, sure, you have a VR locomotion solution. But is *your* VR locomotion solution Gigeresque? Does it have an ominously nihilistic name?

I didn't think so.

Delighted to see Neil Stephenson chat about the current state of XR on the main stage at Augmented World Expo #awe2023

Does anyone have a good point of contact for sorting out a stuck Publication submission to Meta AppLab? Past Publication submissions have taken 1-2 days. This one is now at 3 months with zero communication from Meta. Others stuck like this?

Is anyone else having the GetSystemHeadsetType call return Quest_2 when running on a Quest Pro? It's making it hard for me to differentiate behavior on the Pro vs 2.

[HoustonVR @HoustonTexasVR]

The Lanier Byzantine Chapel App (for Quest 2 ONLY) is now available for download via App Lab! It was created by a team at @NetEdgeVR which includes some HoustonVR members, and is WELL worth checking out!

@SVVRLIVE I used to have a list of great demos that ran on the DK1 or DK2 but never got updated for consumer headsets. I'll see if I can dig it up. I know "Blue Marble" and "Greebles" were on the list.

[HoustonVR @HoustonTexasVR]

@SVVRLIVE Every few years, HoustonVR drags out a sequence of HMDs to remind folks how far we've come -- a DK1, a DK2, a Rift, and, say, a Valve Index. Few apps have versions that run on all of the above, but Titans of Space works well for an apples-to-apples comparison.

[HoustonVR @HoustonTexasVR]

@SVVRLIVE One of the few VR hardware Kickstarters that actually went well for me! Started the HoustonVR meetup the month I received my DK1 and have been running it monthly ever since. Shifted into VR development full-time 3 years ago, and couldn't be happier.

[HoustonVR @HoustonTexasVR]

@SVVRLIVE HoustonVR has returned to in-person meetups. We moved to a new location-- the Prototyping Lab at The ION (@TheIonHouston ). It's been a slow process getting the attendance numbers back up, but last week's presentation by Eddie Paddock of NASA was a good draw.

So Facebook is going to change its name to highlight its commitment to Building The Metaverse (TM).

What's everyone's guess for the new name? FaceVerse? MetaFace? The Zuckerverse?

My vote is for "I Can't Believe It's Not Facebook."

@BethElderkin @Official_GDC Congratulations!! May it bring you much happiness!

[HoustonVR @HoustonTexasVR]

@FromtheFutureXR Would be very interested in reading this.

[HoustonVR @HoustonTexasVR]

Well, my much anticipated #YawVR (VR motion simulator platform) has arrived! Looking forward to setting it up and testing it out!

[HoustonVR @HoustonTexasVR]

@gorosart Goro - we're putting together an event with a local library, part of which will highlight artistic uses of VR. We wanted to 3D print some sculpts made in VR (Medium, etc), but are struggling to find any good ones shared online. Any suggestions? Thanks!

@SerHidal If I can find a big enough area (public park, etc) is there a way to know where to position myself within that space to align with the starting position?

[HoustonVR @HoustonTexasVR]

@SerHidal If I turned off Guardian boundaries on the Quest, how big of a space would I need to be able to walk/run through Dreadhalls without using stick-based locomotion?
