I have experienced the #Future of #Healthcare with #XR+#AI. Simtryx was without a doubt one of the best conversations and interactions I experienced in XR with an AI. - The conversation made sense and felt real - Voice was not just for chatting but also used to instruct the patient on how to behave (like turning while lying down) - Being in mixed reality greatly contributed to grounding the experience and the whole UX with hand interaction just worked. Looking forward to chatting with Hector Mondragon and ask how his team managed to pull this help also with the help of ShapesXR 😉.

Looking for a #creative weekend diversion? This is "Outside The Blocks" a free demo available on Steam that I loved for 3 reasons: 1- They took some very "brave" #UI choices and moved away from standard paradigms of tools like Blender or Maya in favor of simplicity and accessibility 2- The visual polish is off the chart! From lighting to environmental effects, everything looks sooooo good! 3- After getting used to the basics, I started thinking about a story this little diorama could tell: what if there is an underwater chest? What about a sandy path along the water? Try it out and let me know what you think

From 230K to 23K polygons with a couple of clicks... but it comes at a cost 😅. I have tried ADAPTA studio and while the geometry got a little messed up, the polygon reduction was quite impressive. I think it depends on the specific use of the model. This is certainly not ideal when the 3D asset is the hero model (e.g. e-commerce) but I have seen 3D assets in VR look much worse than that 😉. What is your experience with polygon-reducing apps and tools? Do you have any recommendations? 👇 Thanks to DailyArt for making this beautiful backpack!

The big reveal of Meta Orion #AR glasses, overshadowed a very exciting and much closer revolution in how we interact with #digital content: a wristband using surface electromyography (sEMG). This #technology allows users to control devices with subtle hand gestures, like scrolling through a playlist or typing in mid-air. By detecting muscle signals from the wrist, it offers a way to interact with technology (with no brain implant needed 🤯), enabling "on-the-go" control without traditional touchscreens or controllers. Unlike AR glasses, sEMG wristbands are simpler, safer, and more likely to hit the market first—redefining how we interact with our devices. 🚀 Would you trade your touchscreen for this?

With a rating of 4.7⭐ and over 926 reviews, this is one of the highest-rated productivity apps on the Meta Store. It's called @fluid_xr and I had the chance to interview the founder John Dagdelen to ask him about his vision for MR, productivity and AI:

Don't make the same mistake I did! Try this free app on Quest right now! It is called Theater Elsewhere and I just discovered it recently. It is a huge compilation of short animated stories created using Quill, an animation tool available on PC VR. I think it can be the perfect intro experience for someone new to VR (make sure to pick some less intense scenes 😅) or a great way to explore true spatial storytelling and how so many talented artists have approached the complex challenge of telling stories in 3D: - How to manage the user's attention - How to use audio effectively - How to move the story forward and have transitions between scenes - How to take advantage of scale to wow the user - and so MUCH more Don't make the same mistake and give it a try. You will thank me later 😉
