7 Years on Twitter! I’ve been quiet lately but still here. Hope all of my tweeps are happy & healthy. []-)

@tipatat Hhmmm do you mean AVP will have a Dev platform like XCode in VR? That would be rad but idk if it’s their target users. With the $3K+ price tag seems like it’s a b2b or Enterprise play.

@Tojiro Apple is known for prioritizing user privacy so this direction kinda makes sense. Did they go too far? Interesting to read your insights re eye tracking data, keep them coming :)

[Amber VR @amberroyVR]

@NathieVR If you’re ever in Seattle WA USA you can Power Wash my roof deck for free 😆 haha srsly I’m happy to see this in VR looking to your review.

[Amber VR @amberroyVR]

Can I plug #AppleVisionPro into cigarette lighter power for car use? If I can use this while driving I’m in… probably not legal lol but that would be awesome.

[Amber VR @amberroyVR]

@ID_AA_Carmack They must be working on games or gaming capabilities, I hope they give you a sneak peek, your feedback is legendary.

@benz145 Games??? :) controllers?🕹️👾

[Amber VR @amberroyVR]

Eye tracking looks fantastic 👁️ can’t wait to try #AppleVisionPro

[Amber VR @amberroyVR]

@tlakomy “Web workers” are threads, not humans, in my mind 🤣

Anyone into #MetaverseInvesting ? https://t.co/YyBZcv5pV3

@auradeluxe @ExtendedVictory Hi Tony!

[Amber VR @amberroyVR]

@auradeluxe @ExtendedVictory What about other text-based servers like on Discord or Slack, or even Twitch chat, when does it cross over from being group messaging to a shared virtual world, more like MUDs? (been thinking about this lately as I spend more time in online communities)

[Amber VR @amberroyVR]

What about gaming?🤖Can Astro play games with me? Where is the integration with @Twitch & #NewWorld? or do we need to hack it? 😈 #AmazonAstro @amazongames

[TechCrunch @TechCrunch]

Amazon just announced its first robot, Astro. The robot serves three primary functions at launch:

🏡 Home security
💕 Monitoring loved ones
🤖 Offering a kind of mobile version of the in-home Alexa experience

PICK ME @amazon I'd love to be in the test group for #AmazonEcho I ❤️ Robots https://t.co/XGHAEzi3at

VR for 2 🖤

[Meta Quest @MetaQuestVR]

Virtual reality is best when shared. So we’re gonna help you share it. For a limited time, buy a Quest 2 and get a second for $100 off. Terms and conditions apply. https://t.co/3y3VqotU9T

@philiprosedale When I talk with people who have strong objections to VR this idea of being blindfolded always comes up.

[Amber VR @amberroyVR]

@briecode Love & Strength seems most related to gaming for me. Hearts (love) often represent Health bar and Strength is a D&D attribute (like Dexterity, Intelligence).

[Amber VR @amberroyVR]

Is there a way to opt-out of liquor ads on Twitter? Sure Crown Royal is great but something about seeing whiskey ads at 9am is jarring for me. (I used to be an Adsense engineer and still fascinated by ad targeting)
