Imagine every pixel on your screen, streamed live directly from a model. No HTML, no layout engine, no code. Just exactly what you want to see.
@eddiejiao_obj, @drewocarr and I built a prototype to see how this could actually work, and set out to make it real. We're calling it Flipbook. (1/5)
@levelsio Last month in Lisbon we tried to get dinner at 7:30 (ik, a bit early in Portugal, but still). We were turned away from *several* completely empty restaurants bc “we’re totally booked – absolutely no way to seat you,” despite openings online. Absolutely allergic to making money 🤦♂️
i have been weird my whole life
everybody i’ve met who I respect has been weird
the coolest people are usually also the weirdest
weird is one of the best words in the english dictionary
@Pinaksaha@trunarla Viture Pro XR glasses! Not better than a good monitor, but amazing for flights, cafes, and anywhere I don’t have access to a monitor positioned at the right height. Have a $50 off referral code if you want to try them: https://t.co/EkZ0MtOsGz

I’ve had the chance to demo this at @southpkcommons and it’s incredible – I’ve been wanting a good silent speech to text interface for a long time, and @getmamoapp is shockingly accurate without needing any extra hardware
@getmamoapp lets you use dictation anywhere!
You can dictate in public and noisy environments and It will transcribe for you by reading your lips. No vocalization, additional hardware, or wearable mic required!
*watch with sound on🔊*
16/🧵 I do have my fingers crossed that a more premium Viture Pro 2, the upcoming Immersed Visor or the rumored Apple Vision (Air/Lite?) will solve the remaining issues (higher-res display, bigger FOV, better head tracking) and be the holy grail here.
15/🧵 Conclusion: The Viture Pro is the first headset that feels usable for my daily work. It’s not perfect, but it’s a significant step toward my dream AR productivity tool. If you need an extra monitor on the go, I recommend giving them a try!
14/🧵 Aesthetics: They look great and are less isolating than full VR headsets. I can work on the couch next to my partner without feeling disconnected. Easier to take off, and from her perspective I look slightly less like a nerdy alien.
12/🧵 Ergonomics: Insanely light and comfortable enough to wear all day. I can wear them for hours in a cafe looking straight ahead instead of down at my laptop. As an ergonomics geek who travels with a split keyboard, this is a big deal for me.
11/🧵 I find I can see my laptop screen clearly below the frame of the glasses, so in standard mode, I get 2 solid monitors stacked vertically. This is how I've been using them for the most part.
9/🧵 Lens adjustments: Crucial feature. My vision is nearly 20-20, but without lens adjustment, everything is blurry. Downside: I do have to re-adjust every session because the wheels get knocked in transit. Makes me appreciate how good the AVP’s automatic adjustment feature is.
