Since aquariums are shut down, they let penguins wander around the place and it's honestly the news we need to see.

Every now and then a game comes along that manages to dance that fine line between being heart-achingly adorable and rage-inducingly stressful. Well, @aszecsei has definitely danced that dance with #SectorFive!!

@UIowaCS @Darkagent1 @szecsei Congrats, you guys! I know you worked really hard on this, and you totally rocked it 🎊🎉🎊

[Heather Kemp @IAmHeatherKemp]

@ianhamilton_ The original study my predecessors did was with youths & they tried a few different set ups. They said that kids had trouble with VR controllers & found headsets annoying. They hadn't considered making it for headsets too, since it was a study, but I'll be looking into it soon

[Heather Kemp @IAmHeatherKemp]

Just finished up the latest release of my accessible virtual reality game for people who are blind or with low vision! It's been really exciting work with this throughout the semester -- any feedback is definitely appreciated if you could check it out: https://t.co/74OBUMhvrS

[Heather Kemp @IAmHeatherKemp]

@BGFH79 We didn't build a port for the Rift yet because we found in our study with the game that the kids from camp didn't like using the headset for the Rift. As a result, this is actually VR using Kinect body tracking so that the headset isn't required, which is why Joy-Cons are used.

This week we presented our #Dungeonsanddragons Electron application that’s dedicated entirely to DM’s (aptly named DM Tools) at Modern Marvels. It was amazing to speak with so many people who were really interested in our project! We hope to continue improving it in the future!

Talking to people at GDC and Rezzed made me realise I’ve accumulated a load of non-obvious knowledge about how Steam works.

A lot of developers are excluded from the circles where this kind of info gets passed around, so allow me to spill:

Congratulations to Katie Bouman to whom we owe the first photograph of a black hole ever. Not seeing her name circulate nearly enough in the press.

Amazing work. And here’s to more women in science (getting their credit and being remembered in history) 💥🔥☄️
