As a former magician doing interaction design for #SpatialComputing for more than a decade, I have so much hope for #OC6 tomorrow. It's really time to turn virtual into tangible illusion. See you there #XR peeps <3 #AR #VR #MR @oculus

The standalone color passthrough is IMO the most promising direction for MR. I tested for fun some ideas over the weekend, the magic is there and it’s mesmerizing to play with. Anyone with a Quest PRO who would like to try this? @MetaQuestVR #madewithunity

When we stop to think about the future, beyond the limitations of any device, there will no longer be any AR, MR or even VR... There is only a sliding scale of perception, along the spectrum of realities.

After being stuck in the same space for so long, I decided to try mapping it to a virtual treehouse for a more relaxing atmosphere. I think it would be great new feature if Oculus could make the home environments mapped to your real home

XR design tip: To design & test the target size of your UI elements at real-world scale outside the headset, add a plane and set its scale to ‘0.0856’. This corresponds to the universal length of a credit card (8.56 cm). #Unity #XR #IxD @DigitalTwin

Srly, @Oculus Quest is a dream for Interaction Designers. "XR first" is not so far away, every single app will be redesigned for alternative realities. At the opposite of Sci-Fi movies, we need designers who understand the transition phase. You can do #AR and #MR POCs in #VR R.N!

By combining front & back camera you could in theory track head position in space. Which means one can navigate through an audio AR space with great accuracy, for a short period of time though, due to fatigue (but T-rex pose is ok for tracking) #AAR #Ambisonics #ARCore
