Insightful initiative from @ADSKResearch, using flagship HMD's user body and facial tracking to create character animations.

Interesting to see XR tech providing productive value even to those who are not actually looking to create/use XR content.

@Anticleric @JackGYarwood Holy shit. Hell yeah, finally a happy ending! 🔥⚖️🔥 Congrats!

@OpenAI The low-cost production and awkwardness of a first-take is almost as remarkable as the technological leap being demoed. I hope OpenAI uses it's power, influence and technology to make people remember what being a living, breathing organism is all about.

@mrallinwonder Ha, great stuff. Would've been cool for it to have been a duet - like this one, of which it reminds me and that I love: https://t.co/GzPGOvSRkX

@cixliv @NimaZeighami The fact it is able to accurately capture him slight leaning back is a big part of what makes this so great. Adds critical emphasis.

@iBrews It’s great to see someone I know IRL. The face itself is great. Skin stretches, eyes are very lively, expressions are rich in complexity and authentic. It is really striking.

It clearly struggles with hair though… looks like it was cut out of a magazine using large scissors.

Has the frequency of ads increased on this platform or has it always been this way? I get ads every 3-4 tweets on my feed. I can’t take it, it’s not worth it.

[Diego Pavan Ⓥ @hololinked]

@GamersNexus @LinusTech You guys handled this, as always, in an exemplary manner. Solid investigation and solid ethics.

[Diego Pavan Ⓥ @hololinked]

@ChickTech I believe not using a case is not much different than not installing any apps or changing the wallpaper.

[Diego Pavan Ⓥ @hololinked]

@ChickTech Cases are the user’s biggest opportunity to customize for use and style. One may choose to forego this, but I don’t believe even the lightest user should go caseless. People who don’t use cases always have phones that look worn to hell. Phones are designed to use cases.
