What if XR actually helped you at home?
Home Tips is our XR + AI prototype that scans your space and overlays real-time holographic instructions on objects.
No controllers. No manuals. Just doing.

Where would it help you the most? Kitchen? Garage? Garden?

Summary of my time working in the Coporate VR space over the past 8 years:

Suit: "What do we do with VR? Is there any good use case?"

Me: "First you need to put on the headset."

Suit: "... but are there any use cases that are valuable?"

Me: "First you need to put on the headset."

Suit: "I don't understand?"

Me: "First you need to put on the headset."

Suit: "My spreadsheets seem to not give me any indicator there is some kind of value with VR headsets, are you sure?"

Me: "First you need to put on the headset."

* 4 Years Later *

Suit: "VR still hasn't turned into the new iPhone. What don't we understand here?"

Me: "First you need to put on the headset."

Suit: "... but is there ROI potential?"

Me: "First you need to put on the headset."

Suit: "Can it scale?"

Me: "First you need to put on the headset."

* 4 Years Later *

Suit: "Wow this Apple headset is really something. It just kind of transports your mind somewhere else and offers so many new potential ways to deal with digital content. There might something valuable here."

Me: "Now you need to put on the full body tracking in a platform with custom avatars."

... Maybe in another 4 years we can progress to the next step.

Are you interested in rapid prototyping for XR? Here is the lecture material from our recent Summer School - lots of great content and resources - share freely. https://t.co/wy4hkSxu5Z #XR #AugmentedReality #VirtualReality #prototyping

[Niclas Johansson @NiclasJ]

Thread! (Really a slide deck in tweet form)

A tale of @Meta / @RealityLabs /Fb /Oculus' path through consumer XR from 2015 to today, traced headset by headset.

BONUS: In the end, I'll put @Apple Vision Pro in context to Meta. And then, non-XR tech for an even bigger context :)

[Niclas Johansson @NiclasJ]

Quest For Business is finally released. Pricing: https://t.co/gVIaIhjj0n

Quest For Business: $15/month/device (requires centrally managed Meta account per user)

"Shared mode": additional $9/month/device (allows users to easily share HMD)

[Niclas Johansson @NiclasJ]

Ugh. This is PERFECT. I describe MR as a great scaffolding for VR, as frictionless onboarding for new users who are anxious about stepping into fully immersive experiences.

... this cd even be generalized into a "launcher Augment" for other games to hook into their lobbies.

[Niclas Johansson @NiclasJ]

The portability of Quest 3 is something else. This is a pencil case in some elastic material - perfect for carrying the headset + controllers. I'll ust throw it in a bag and bring it wherever!

Actually considering not swapping from the stock strap now.

[Niclas Johansson @NiclasJ]

Yeah, I preordered a Quest 3 (of course). For gaming and productivity/@xr4work stuff it will be fabulous.

BUT. I was constantly thinking of two glaring missing features that would have sold me (and likely others) way more effectively on this whole mixed reality thing.

[XR4work @XR4Work]

Look out for this one!

[Brad Lynch @SadlyItsBradley]

Looks like @ImmersedVR is pulling a BigScreen Beyond

They are getting ready to announce "Visor" which is a AR/VR HMD designed for work. Touting 4K per eye Micro-OLED displays, and a 100º FoV

They will also be targeting a custom fit type experience. Glasses users need RX inserts

[XR4work @XR4Work]

@Campfire3D @Auganix Exciting! Any plans for compatibility with other headsets?

[Niclas Johansson @NiclasJ]

XR creators! Which engine do you recommend to new XR dev learners? Would love votes from people making games as well as @xr4work stuff/apps. Reply with reasons :)

[John Dagdelen @jmdagdelen]

Just sent out first round of early tester invites for our app.

If you didn't get an invite, but have a Quest Pro + bluetooth keyboard + bluetooth mouse and you are willing to regularly use the app over the next few weeks to find and report bugs, DM me.

[John Dagdelen @jmdagdelen]

Here's a teaser of the spatial prod. app we're developing at @fdotinc 🫡

This is me in the app, coding in VSCode and chatting in Discord.

* Runs locally (no laptop required!)
* Infinite screens anywhere
* Ready to use today on Meta Quest

Reply for early access!

[XR4work @XR4Work]

@bmfshow Lot of questions regarding how the Q3 differentiates from the Pro and which is best for what function.

[Niclas Johansson @NiclasJ]

Everybody, while Apple talk about the non-XR stuff before getting to the headset

[Niclas Johansson @NiclasJ]

This is SUPER impressive.

[XR4work @XR4Work]

Wow very excited about the #Quest3. Looking forward to the rest of the announcements in an hour. Want to join our community and watch in VR in @Remiovr ? https://t.co/deyzQ440lj

[Rollthered @RolltheredDev]

Hey! If you know anyone in the VR space that is making VR short films or shows that use VR as a creative tool,
can you send them my way?

About to launch C.1024, the first VR content television which will be a new way for indie creators to congregate and share their work! 🧵👇

[XR4work @XR4Work]

@NiclasJ Yeah, it is true. Im always curious when i am meeting with a platform representative if they will ask to meet on their platform and almost exclusively, they don't.

[Scott Stein 👓🎲🪄 @jetscott]

really sort of suddenly getting into the Quest Pro as laptop monitor thing, despite my thinking I wouldn't
