@VolkmerStefan This is related to the 'autoplay' restrictions that browsers impose. These are in place so videos don't play without your explicit consent. Steps to mitigate this are in the linked tutorial in the section Step 4: Script: playVideo

Check it out - AR running in a web browser on a phone! I followed a tutorial to make this in a few hours: https://t.co/lQ23YA9piL

Here's a recording of the live webinar I co-presented on creating AR Product Previews in Web Browsers with nothing more than a bit of file prep and HTML. #AWS #WebAR #AugmentedReality #AR https://t.co/ioEr6hSSCN

Want to know how to place something in AR without any app development (just some file prep and HTML)? Join me on Oct 2, 2020 for an end-to-end webinar that shows you how! Webinar: https://t.co/Y7PMZrY2bL

@robpieke The great thing about jr is you can finish a game in 20-30 mins

@roschler @ilan_g @ranilian Oops - maybe I'm wrong! I was thinking if the Echo Show devices. I do think know about these ones - worth a test! They'd have to have browsers that support webGL.

Check it out! I ported Eliza, an automated therapist, into Amazon Sumerian: https://t.co/VLFUDc6AgW?
I love working with voice-driven interfaces. It uses Amazon Transcribe Streaming based on an article by @ranilian: https://t.co/sTqDsowqKP

@ilan_g @ranilian Keep in mind Eliza is the *illusion* of conversation. For real conversation I've always wanted to try training an ML model based on dialogue from say movie scripts, and have that be the conversation engine. I'd use Amazon Sagemaker here.

[Leo Chan @sitting_leo]

@roschler @ilan_g @ranilian It took me a few days to put it all together. Alexa Display devices don't have the graphics capabilities needed for Sumerian hosts at this time.

[Leo Chan @sitting_leo]

@ilan_g @ranilian I see what you mean. @ranilian's awesome tutorial has several parts - I only used the Transcribe Streaming part, then Eliza takes over. You can find a JS version of Eliza here: https://t.co/Nig5xlkMae

[Leo Chan @sitting_leo]

@ilan_g @ranilian There's a link to a tutorial on connecting a Sumerian Host to Amazon Transcribe Streaming in the tweet itself :-) it includes a getting started scene.

[Leo Chan @sitting_leo]

@ilan_g @ranilian There's no Amazon Lex involved here - I used Amazon Transcribe for speech to text, then feed the text into a regular expression type matcher to determine responses (this part is the original 1960s Eliza program). Then I feed the result to Amazon Polly for text to speech.

@nrose @smithsonian Both use-cases are important. This example is particularly useful for previewing products, say for Retailers. On the other hand, annotating real-world objects is particularly useful for Internet of Things (IoT) workloads - here's a video showing this: https://t.co/WNJxDv6uRF

[Leo Chan @sitting_leo]

Thrilled to collaborate with the @smithsonian on their #SmithsonianOpenAccess project exploring how we can connect people with museum pieces in AR using the power #AWS and #AmazonSumerian. Check it out! https://t.co/yP8GtBQ6xn

@PaulAndrews007 @smithsonian Thank you!

[Kris Schultz @Krxtopher]

Join me & @JakeSmeester LIVE on https://t.co/mZAQhi8yA0 this Thurs @ 12pm Pacific for the start of our video miniseries on in-browser #AugmentedReality using #AmazonSumerian and @the8thwall. In Ep. 1 we'll share an easy solution for getting your #AR ideas off the ground fast.

@robpieke 3+3 years, which is *technically* longer, but broken up by a year away :-)

[Leo Chan @sitting_leo]

I hit my 5 year anniversary at AWS. You get an orange badge when this happens. I know, it's gamification, but still a nice token. It's been my longest tenure yet!

[Leo Chan @sitting_leo]

@craabit That's awesome!

[Leo Chan @sitting_leo]

@k4vichu @ranilian Thanks Luis!

[Leo Chan @sitting_leo]

@orcmid @ranilian I stand corrected in over claiming Eliza's abilities! She may not be a therapist, but she's pretty good at making me dig deep considering she's basically a bunch of regular expressions :-)
