Been using Samsung Dex in the living room. Works pretty well, given that I am either mainly on a browser or streaming a computer from the attic with Moonshine. Resolves an issue with forgetting to bring my laptop downstairs, and less clutter is always a plus.

I've been getting back into VR, and especially with the Kat-C "treadmill" again. Yes, there is a lot of jank involved, but being able to walk endlessly and wave the controllers around without hitting anything is incredible. Played without it just now, and was surprised with how much I missed it.

This one really hurts. I haven't done much with it recently, but it was just one of those apps that was always supposed to be there.

Rec Room will shut down for good in June, with the company blaming "the recent shift in the VR market, along with broader headwinds in gaming": www.uploadvr.com/rec-room-to-...

covalichou.github.io/second-reali... Bit of a blast from the past - The 1993 Second Reality demo ported to the web. Looks pretty much the same as I remembered

This is absolutely amazing. It was a big buggy on my Quest 3(bit of lag and sometimes enemies not properly rendering), but I could see myself reliving old days with this. Do you have any plans for being able to aim with the controllers? cc @uploadvr.com @ben.roadtovr.com

MrDoob ported Quake to three and I added WebXR support: cabanier.github.io/three-quake/ Enter the game in 2d mode and then go immersive. It seems to work ok on Quest and Galaxy XR. It helps that AndroidXR has the exact same button mappings :-)

Ugh, @n8n.io is a bit too addictive for quickly getting some prototypes done. Was experimenting with just getting a pipeline working, and ended up adding simple endpoints for CRUD actions and a scheduled task as well.

Finished Arkham Shadow last week. Easily slid it's way into my top 3 VR games. What an amazing translation of the Arkham games to VR. I sent a video of it to a mate and he instantly recognized it as Arkham combat. Have some catching up to do. Any other must-plays out there? (Aside from Alyx)

@edzitron.com cool episode on vibe coding (which I enjoy calling "vile coding") but as a professional prototypist : no, it's ALSO bad for prototyping! People often think of prototypes as low effort run once piece of code (as Charlie Meyer said) ... but that's the "easy" part of prototyping. The...

Tried out expo.dev today for a little hacking project. Really digging the Expo Go app, that's pretty neat.

Here's a little WebXR/LLM experiment, inspired by two talks at @frontmania.bsky.social about "Built-in AI" (by @rowdy.codes) and "A11y and AI" (by Elga de Klerk). The concept is a narrator that can explain what the user is seeing, using Gemini Nano on the device itself. #WebXR #accessibility

Oh man, just discovered that the madmen who are still modding X-Wing Alliance have added support for an active cockpit that you control via VR Controllers, similar to VTOL VR. www.youtube.com/watch?v=wX4q...

I gave a talk last week involving RSS Feeds and was genuinely surprised to learn that no one in the audience was using a RSS reader daily. In general, I dislike "Am I the only one-" questions, but: who else goes through RSS feeds every day?

I started building a LLM experiment with Python, to see how development would differ from JS. So far, Gradio and Jupyter notebooks are winning me over. Excellent tools to test features during development and I haven't found any Node equivalents yet.

Backlog.MD is easily my favorite new tool to use for my personal projects. I've tried using self-hosted services like Planka, but having all the tasks stored inside the repo as markdown files makes it so much easier to manage.

I dug up my old Samsung 360 Gear camera for an upcoming wedding. To my surprise, it still works, albeit with some custom apps. I kinda forgot how neat 360 Photography can be in just capturing an entire moment.

... that's it. lost all faith in AI. Was a fun little hype thing, but ready to move on now.

And back in the Netherlands. Have to give another shout-out to @cityjsconf.bsky.social for giving me a good excuse to take the train to London, explore the city for a day, and getting so inspired that I'm now sleep deprived from hacking away last night. Hoping to do it again next year.

@thisisjofrank.bsky.social Just wanted to quickly message that I really enjoyed your talk. I've been wanting to have a code editor in a self-hosted environment and your talk gave me inspiration on the steps I should take next. I may have missed the link, but is the slide deck available?

So the main thing I'm getting from #CityJSLondon so far, LLM-wise, is that I've been doing way too much manually, whereas I could've used LangChainJS and MCP. Much to experiment with in the coming days.

@kentcdodds.com While it would require additional hardware, I'd wager we can do the holographic stuff with XR hardware

And off we go at London @cityjsconf.bsky.social. Had a great day walking through the city yesterday, now onto Javascript

In Tirol launches Monday at @officialgdc.bsky.social sponsored by @viverse.com! Flee the storm o’er surreal, expressionist manor grounds on the outskirts of Salzburg, 1914 ⛈️

This has been a long time coming--excited to announce that Immersive Web Emulator 2.0 (the #WebXR browser extension, not the JS runtime) preview is available NOW! Tap into the full power of IWER + DevUI, now in the extension format you know and love. Details & link below 👇

So first impressions are, unfortunately, very buggy. I really like the design. Just for development, it would make for an excellent headset, especially with being able to rotate the display so easily.

Have to admit that I had written this off, so was happily surprised when it arrived this morning. Expectations aren't too high, but I wouldn't mind having a headset specifically for development.

To my complete and utter surprise, there is a VR game based on Foundation(the novels, not the TV show). It's easily one of my favorite sci-fi series, I just hadn't expected to ever see a game released about it, let alone in VR. First impressions over the weekend were good. Very Telltale-esque.

My first little #LLM powered project. * It retrieves the last 50 items from my RSS reader * Next, llama-3:3B is used to create a summary of the article. * The result is then converted to audio using piper. * All done on self-hosted hardware. Perfect to listen to while walking the dogs.

Let’s build interactive @threejs.org User Interfaces 🫰 Uses react-three/handle, react-three/xr, and react-three/uikit - vanilla versions are available🍦 Works on any device inside and outside #WebXR Compose <uikit> with <handle> to control sizes, positions, rotations (Link in 🧵)
