I think I'm just going to go with 'I make art with a face computer' as my bio, seems easier...

@theneedledrop @Marsspace17_ Dude you never take an L, just stop for a second and listen and learn and realise you didn’t get it, that’s fine. Don’t have to call people names and stupid sheesh.

@AdobeAero please don't shut down! We pay your exorbitant CC fees so bloody keep it running already!! Free access to digital technologies is important!!

Back in 2022, I was lucky enough to be invited by @RtClick_Save to interview key figures from the #hicetnunc community such as Mumu The Stan, @bjorncalleja @Thebadlament @numadessas @sutu_eats_flies

So much love to all of you 💙

I’ve basically given up on Twitter but miss the art community and appreciate the ongoing support ♥️

[MadChops @madch0ps]

Today I collected my 1,300th Artwork on @objktcom

It's an interactive XR/AR/3D work from @Thebadlament entitled "Ocean Fossils" as part of the EJX (@eyejackapp) collection. And it is mesmerizing.

@madch0ps @objktcom @eyejackapp Thank you for collecting! It’s probably my favourite work on tezos I’ve released ♥️💫

[Diane Drubay @DianeDrubay]

Just collected "AR Bee NFT" by @Thebadlament and @fdoganis , an AR artwork turning you into a plant where a bee flies out of your mouth, for the @blueshift_now collection

look what they took from us

[Kent Bye (Voices of VR) @kentbye]

It's official! #WebXR will be launched on Safari for visionOS 2.0 in the Fall. New video by @AdaRoseCannon shows Apple's privacy architecture with an @aframevr / @threejs example, as well as hand-tracking implementation. Also mentions the @babylonjs, @WebXREngine, & @playcanvas frameworks as well as the Safari debugging tools. visionOS 2 will also allow the virtual display to overlay immersive environments allowing for real-time coding of WebXR experiences.

Check out the "Build immersive web experiences with WebXR" #WWDC24 session that launched today here: https://t.co/cREcF6h5Cz

You can also check out the WebXR chess demo on visionOS 2.0 Safari, or also 1.2 by enabling the feature flags: Go to Settings > Apps > Safari > Advanced (At the bottom) > Feature Flags (At the bottom) > Enable “WebXR Device API” and “WebXR Hand Input Module”

Also be sure to check out this webkit blog post with a bit more context:

And there's one other #WebXR-related video by
@zachernuk on "Optimize for the spatial web" from WWDC here: https://t.co/Xqw00KtohN

It will be awesome to see WebXR officially launch on one of Apple's platforms in the Fall, and fingers crossed that it'll also come to iOS, iPadOS, and macOS sooner rather than later.
