Good news for the #OpenMetaverse: #WebXR is supported in Apple's xrOS. Yes to interoperability, scaling to mobile, & moving towards more embodied, smoooooth #SpatialWeb experiences
Less than a year after its initial launch, the Metaverse Standards Forum announces that it is now incorporated as an independent non-profit industry consortium!

One of my favorite features from last Friday's build was the NYC themed arcade games.
Using @hyperfy_io's web app, overlaid on top of some old arcade cabinets, I was able to bring some 90s classics to life for world visitors.

In 1992 when he published the novel Snow Crash, @nealstephenson coined the term "metaverse." In 2021, the author decided he had a choice: "Basically either go off and become the metaverse hermit, or try to make something of it,"

You should really check this out. This @NeedleTools project builds upon the @unity Timeline, and basically allows to animate arbitrary custom data with it - arrays, lists, colors, structs, compute shader inputs,...
Very powerful! And super fast to make visuals with. ✨👑🫧
Can we learn from our history? The Dutch colony of New Amsterdam which became New York, brought with it tolerance & free trade. Imagine...in the 1600's...
🇺🇸🇳🇱 President George H.W. Bush in 1991 proclaimed November 16 as #DutchAmericanHeritageDay. Author and historian @RussellShorto reflects on the “first salute” in 1776 and the wider Dutch influence on US culture and history.

Happy new president & vice president day! I paddleboarded to the Statue of Liberty yesterday! It was my 1st time & current around the statue tends to be strong, but it’s as if Mother Nature knew the election results & weather ended up being more than perfect-so calm & beautiful
...& while we were out on the water, they called the election. #TheUniverseKnows — & the symbolism of being at the Statue of Liberty when all of that happened made me so emotional.
