@SkarredGhost I suspect for most video calls this will be good enough. It's interesting that they have chosen to represent full body images, while Apple's personas focus on the face only - missing out on important gesture cues for conversation.

Anthropic pays $750,000+ a year for engineers who know how to build LLMs from scratch.

Stanford just released the exact lecture that teaches it - 1 hour 44 minutes, free, straight from CS229.

Bookmark and watch it this weekend.

It'll teach you more about how ChatGPT & Claude actually work than most people at top AI companies learn in their entire careers.

[Mark Billinghurst @marknb00]

@twi_mar Really nice work! Are you going to make the code available?

Your eyes know more about VR comfort than you might think.

When you adjust luminance, shift colour temperature, or apply peripheral occlusion in VR — what actually happens to your body? Our paper introduces the Ocular Command Center framework to find out. [1/8]

Paper spotlight: @kaikaikaikai419 (ECL PhD) presents HeadZoom (ISMAR 2025) — hands-free zoom + pan for 2D content via head motion.
Parallel Zoom reduced head movement + felt lower effort in a user study.

Tamil's SealMates replaced video tiles with a collective seal avatar — animated by group engagement. When the team was in sync, the seal moved. When they weren't, it stilled.

Teams felt more connected.

TBI rehabilitation is one of the hardest problems in neurorehab.

Riku's People's Choice-winning 3MT talk asks: what if empathy itself could be designed into the recovery environment?

What surprised you most? https://t.co/jZvUfHBujp
