It took already to long to come to this point. I disappointed many people on this journey of my Object Tracking project for #VRChat. I'm working on the 1.0 release. We are faster on remote then IK, which will later be shifted into smoothing. Left = local. right = remote.

I designed my first PCB. It's for a secret project. I made some funny mistakes. The fuel gauge reads +3.3V, which is equivalent to an always empty battery. When not charging, it reboots instead of powering off.

I'm working on a secret project 🤫 looking for an artist for abstract images, who can paint with only 2 colors, to create art for a PCB. Anyone following me? Do you know one from VRChat? WIP image, final PCB will look different.

An ethnographic inquiry into the lifeworlds of long-term Social VR users, concerned with the phenomenological and sociological analysis of everyday life.

a nice thing about when the internet was a bunch of little sites and servers was that it was a lot harder for governments to pressure "the chat provider everyone uses" to implement age verification. you wanna pressure 300 separate IRC servers? good luck with that. but one company? easy

Stranger walked up to me, started talking about my M4 ... in my Steam Inventory. Now, i can buy Steam Frame from the 4 skins i sold.

Recently, many people have asked how my best friend is doing. TL;DR: she’s doing well. She did a lot for VRChat’s security and privacy. Sadly, her privacy wasn’t respected in a video. Now, she’s leaving #VRChat. For anyone who wants more information, please read her own words:

Shorted Version: Joined VRChat in 2018, got deep into the community and tech, and later found/reported major API security issues. In 2021 I joined the VRChat team and chose to use my personal account with an admin_moderator tag—huge regret, because it changed how “friends” treated me and many only contacted me for staff help. After a recent public video and an internal investigation (with outside legal counsel), I took time off to reflect; I can’t share the outcome for legal/confidentiality reasons. I’m proud of the infrastructure work I did (stability/security improvements, fixing early 2021 outages, and helping grow the DevOps team), but I’m stepping down to focus on my life and real friendships.
