Experimented w/ tracking of lateral mvmt of cardboard HMD, using camera + markers. Works surprisingly well! https://t.co/eGOLfeTIg6

While I don't think gazing can be a replacement for typing, I totally dig this:

We're moving from Flatware to Spatialware
💥 Typing to Gazing
⚡Hypertext to Hyperspace
🌟 Responsive Web to Responsive Space
✨ 2D Interaction to Spatial Interaction
🔥Shared Messaging to Share Presence

Oh nice, Constructive Solid Geometry in VR!

[Ian Kettlewell @kettlecorn]

Spent today fixing some of the bugs with the boolean operations in my virtual reality modeling tool. This is running on my #OculusQuest

[Kent Bye (Voices of VR) @kentbye]

Mark your AWE calendars for Friday at 3p. I'll be giving a tour of the many moral dilemmas of XR & mixed reality with a spatialized Ethical Framework.

[Jens Arps @jensarps]

This pretty much is why I think devices like the Quest will win more ppl for VR than e.g. the new Rift: Zero setup hassle, plus the most successful VR experiences not needing super powerful hardware.

[Carlos Calva @carlosaddsub]

Just came to my buddy’s to show him the #OculusQuest, it is his first time experiencing #VR, I obviously had him play @BeatSaber. His take: “This is the most amazing thing I’ve ever tried, I’m going to buy one tonight!”.

I had him do the set up and he did it effortlessly. 1/

As always, the #gdc19 Experimental Gameplay Workshop was inspiring! Here’s some of my favorites (in no particular order) that I’m looking forward to checking out!

Here's 2,500 words on Oculus' newest headset.

One of the biggest questions I get is "How do you get started in VR/AR?". This week I'm making a video on the topic, but I want to hear from you first:

How did you get started and what strategies did you use to keep yourself motivated? 🤔

[Nell Waliczek @NellWaliczek]

Hey #WebXR peeps and #AR/#VR friends! Wanna work with me? 💫💖 #AmazonSumerian has job openings! Are you a manager? We've got a role for you! Or do you want to make how-to Twitch streams and tutorials while getting to know our customers? We've got a role for you too! And others!

[Kent Bye (Voices of VR) @kentbye]

.@Frooxius is one if the most talented & hard working VR devs I know, and @neos_vr is one of the most impressive projects I've seen in a while. Check out their latest release video. They're doing a ton of innovative trailblazing here.

I hope people understand that there's an ethical crisis when it comes to privacy. The philosophical community has yet to provide a comprehensive framework for privacy, & so it's left to major corporations to determine the ethical threshold of privacy.
They're doing a terrible job

The @Sundance Film Festival 2019 is officially kicking off. I'll be in Park City covering the VR/AR pieces in the #NewFrontier program & catching as many documentaries as I can.

This weekend I created a plant-based #MR e-mail client at the #RealityVirtuallyHack. Here berries are e-mails. Flowers are letters from people you love. Weeds are spam.

I'm calling it an Organic User Interface. Using nature-based metaphors to represent information! @magicleap

[Kent Bye (Voices of VR) @kentbye]

I list a lot of ultimate potentials of VR & AR in this half hour keynote that digests the answers to that question from over 1000 spatial computing pioneers. I personally don't think that it will or can just be about gaming. There's so many other use cases

Web page usability matters: https://t.co/wPER3dNLmR users can expect pages to be interactive soon after they're visually ready. To avoid rage clicks/taps, minimize work delaying interactions (like heavy script).

[Jens Arps @jensarps]

What Alex says. Really. Read the thread:

[Jens Arps @jensarps]

Really awesome thread, thoughtful and detailed. If you're into user interaction, VR or not, you'll not regret spending a few minutes reading this:

Fantastic, thoughtful thread, Steve. 👌
