Super interesting read about how to frame accessibility tech as an inclusive design problem that affects all of us. https://t.co/nqWwS8PwCh (via @DrKagonyaAwori) @XRAccess

You can now watch my talk at @XRAccess about how to fix VR/AR to do better in accessibility, and why I think it is particularly challenging. My take 🧵https://t.co/eW5LUb66QB

I am still looking for interns for this summer to work on avatars + ML, reach out if you are doing your PhD in USA or Canada. If you have some portfolio or cool papers/videos feel free to reply here!

[Sunny Yaying Zhang @SunnyYaying]

@MarkSchrammVR Cool! Is it realtime modeling of the room?

[Sunny Yaying Zhang @SunnyYaying]

@marknb00 It might feel stupid for visual art, because in that case you only care abt how it looks. But for example, if it's a 'virtual real estate' lived by Obama in metaverse, it is somehow unique, and nft makes a slightly bit more sense, I guess?

[Sunny Yaying Zhang @SunnyYaying]

@marknb00 I guess nft mainly applies for digital creations, like an artist makes a tablet drawing, and encodes it in blockchain world, so that there's only one encoded copy and they sell it to you. Although one can make a copy of the work that look the same, you have the 'real' one

@gingasvr Interesting! Doesn't the headset detect you as moving when you flying on a plane?

[Sunny Yaying Zhang @SunnyYaying]

Wow real size Lego.

Joined a talk with my friend @kjbmercurio on his podcast #Metaphorigins, we talked a lot on the middle land of #Technology and #Art. It was fun!

[Kevin Mercurio @kjbmercurio]

Tune in to Ep. 26 of #Metaphorigins on Apr 12th! I look for the origin to "Get Off On The Wrong Foot", and I discuss the interface of Art & Science. Two researchers in HCI, @SunnyYaying (MSc) & @BrennanJones (PhD Student), talk synergism between the two concepts in their work.

Our XRmas system used the open source #MicrosoftRocketBox avatar, and it's awesome to have such richly rigged assets free and open to everyone!

[Mar Gonzalez-Franco @twi_mar]

Coinciding with the 1 year release anniversary 🥳of the #MicrosoftRocketbox library of avatars (https://t.co/lYbwsXn00v)
I would like to do a blog post about how they have enabled your work and projects. Share here and send me an email ([email protected])
