@AppleSupport Can I get some help on this ticket please? I paid for something a week ago and have had no response returned. Thank you! 102864453368

@jerseymikes V @SUBWAY where can I see this first? :D

A Sandwich shop kiosk but it makes your sandwich live, using your voice, just like you'd order irl over the counter. Swipe to delete or just say so. Exploded view into a slap animation of the sandwich being completed. Way more fun than touch kiosk. TM. https://t.co/aM7LfQEHnQ

@MauRSchneider @tonal Thanks for sharing details! I’m considering one and love to see the data it tracks!

@MKBHD If the 3rd gen is able to replace my laptop, iPad, dual screens… This will be a raging success like the iPhone was. A generational product. People will make fun of it. I did already. But this is game-changing tech.

I spent 10% of my life contributing to the development of the #VisionPro while I worked at Apple as a Neurotechnology Prototyping Researcher in the Technology Development Group. It’s the longest I’ve ever worked on a single effort. I’m proud and relieved that it’s finally announced. I’ve been working on AR and VR for ten years, and in many ways, this is a culmination of the whole industry into a single product. I’m thankful I helped make it real, and I’m open to consulting and taking calls if you’re looking to enter the space or refine your strategy.

The work I did supported the foundational development of Vision Pro, the mindfulness experiences, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ products, and also more ambitious moonshot research with neurotechnology. Like, predicting you’ll click on something before you do, basically mind reading. I was there for 3.5 years and left at the end of 2021, so I’m excited to experience how the last two years brought everything together. I’m really curious what made the cut and what will be released later on.

Specifically, I’m proud of contributing to the initial vision, strategy and direction of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ program for Vision Pro. The work I did on a small team helped green light that product category, and I think it could have significant global impact one day.

The large majority of work I did at Apple is under NDA, and was spread across a wide range of topics and approaches. But a few things have become public through patents which I can cite and paraphrase below.

Generally as a whole, a lot of the work I did involved detecting the mental state of users based on data from their body and brain when they were in immersive experiences.

So, a user is in a mixed reality or virtual reality experience, and AI models are trying to predict if you are feeling curious, mind wandering, scared, paying attention, remembering a past experience, or some other cognitive state. And these may be inferred through measurements like eye tracking, electrical activity in the brain, heart beats and rhythms, muscle activity, blood density in the brain, blood pressure, skin conductance etc.

There were a lot of tricks involved to make specific predictions possible, which the handful of patents I’m named on go into detail about. One of the coolest results involved predicting a user was going to click on something before they actually did. That was a ton of work and something I’m proud of. Your pupil reacts before you click in part because you expect something will happen after you click. So you can create biofeedback with a user's brain by monitoring their eye behavior, and redesigning the UI in real time to create more of this anticipatory pupil response. It’s a crude brain computer interface via the eyes, but very cool. And I’d take that over invasive brain surgery any day.

Other tricks to infer cognitive state involved quickly flashing visuals or sounds to a user in ways they may not perceive, and then measuring their reaction to it.

Another patent goes into details about using machine learning and signals from the body and brain to predict how focused, or relaxed you are, or how well you are learning. And then updating virtual environments to enhance those states. So, imagine an adaptive immersive environment that helps you learn, or work, or relax by changing what you’re seeing and hearing in the background.

All of these details are publicly available in patents, and were carefully written to not leak anything. There was a ton of other stuff I was involved with, and hopefully more of it will see the light of day eventually.

A lot of people have waited a long time for this product. But it’s still one step forward on the road to VR. And it’s going to take until the end of this decade for the industry to fully catch up to the grand vision for this tech.

Again, I’m open to consulting work and taking calls if your business is looking to enter the space or refine your strategy. Mostly, I’m proud and relieved this has finally been announced. It’s been over five years since I started working on this, and I spent a significant portion of my life on it, as did an army of other designers and engineers. I hope the whole is greater than the sum of the parts and Vision Pro blows your mind.

Hey Creatives - get in the habit turning your fave tv/ film/ ad/ music video techniques into gifs that you can use when you are presenting scripts. Here are some of my faves i've used recently. Feel free to steal!

After a couple years in @NotionHQ I am confident you could run an entire government using Notion.
Thank you again @davidjohnsonn for the intro. Just onboarded another person to #TeamNotion !

An interesting detail — yesterday, the Postal service of #Ukraine️ presented a new series of postage stamps “Russian warship, go f*ck yourself”.

And guess what? The ship in the picture is Russian missile cruiser #Moskva, the Black Sea Fleet flagship that was destroyed today.

Gas is now officially more expensive than the movie I Am Legend imagined it would be during the apocalypse.

[jessemoore.eth @jesmor3]

@theyurinator @vollebak woah dang really?! only 1 year in? Did you contact @vollebak about this? I'm very interested to hear about this and how it happened. For example I wouldn't expect it to last through a motorcycle crash.

[jessemoore.eth @jesmor3]

@theyurinator dang this is also disappointing, especially since it's a 100 year jacket. My Dyneema always changes but I've expected that. Maybe this 100 year multi layer material will just show wear on the outer layer when worn?

[jessemoore.eth @jesmor3]

@theyurinator @vollebak I'm going through your link tree of vollebak reviews! Thank you for this one, I love the look of the Squid Jacket but that is a shame about the durability.
