(Mando up until the Luke appearance opens up to an extended yet connected story)

Ep4 sets the stage, R1 and Andor provides backstory/context for the rebellion.
Ep5 (along with R1) presents Vader as a great threat, and Ep1+2 gives his/Anakin’s backstory, then Ep6 wraps up the main story. It’s an extension of the machete order (same minus R1 and Andor).

Is this the new perfect Star Wars (live action) watch order?

A New Hope
Rogue One
Andor S1+S2
Empire Strikes Back
Attack Of The Clones
Revenge Of The Sith
Return Of The Jedi
(Optional: Mandalorian S1+S2)

2) Meshes can be directly shared from app (iOS) to Sketchfab - great! Can this be done for splats too? Seems there’s spz support.

Keep up the great work :)

@azadux.com Hey, absolutely loving Scaniverse for simple ”intro to XR production” course I run for primary school teachers. 2 suggestions/requests:

1) in the library feed, please indicate if an item has been ”created share link” for or been posted to public map, makes it easier to batch manage.

The White House has suddenly removed this page.

Do Americans somehow think this is more acceptable than saying the n-word? Do ANY non-Americans?

Has anyone ever succeeded in local multiplayer MR gaming when one of the headset wearers is NOT an accustomed Quest user? Just tried Home Sports and failed miserably - the play space aligned wrongly and everyone just ended up frustrated. Would be fun but UX simply sucks.

Trying to activate a newly bought Quest 3S (on a new Meta account) but it gets stuck in "applying software updates" forever (before pairing to account). Have tried multiple factory resets, quickly end up in same loop. Tried different wifi connections. Did I get a brick?

So the answer is "go look it up yourself"? That's not very helpful.

What’s the price? None mentioned in the article, maybe just add € price? Or is it just “America or gtfo”?

... Quest 3 is now framed as "the premium alternative to Quest 3S" and arguably also "the low-cost taste of the future we've been teased about with the Orion demo", putting it in a more attractive spot than at launch.

It's funny how Quest 3 seems to be living through a delayed popularity wave. A little bit like how covid reframed the value of Quest 2 (released end of 2020 but sales spiking in 2021)...

Is there a Biology/STEM education starter pack out there? I found the plant science one, but I want to find the educators out there too. 👩‍🏫

@GoogleARVR Hey is there any chance of getting WebXR support for the amazing Google Expeditions content, now hosted on @googlearts ? Things like this would be amazing to navigate in the Quest browser: https://artsandculture.google.com/story/5wWROHCCbH2fSQ (I guess a new Expeditions...

VR devs: Is Depth API not available on Quest 3S, due to the lack of depth sensor? https://developers.meta.com/horizon/documentation/unity/unity-depthapi-overview/

Ok the Optimus robots being teleoperated but not disclosed as such is pretty frustrating to see people fawn over. Almost like people believing the Codec Avatars in Lex's Zuck interview were being rendered in headset, but in a more deceptive way.

Did anyone get Quest casting to the desktop app (Link) to work? It didn't want to connect for me.

Has anyone tried the new option in casting? When clicking "PC" it prompts to connect with Link. Looks like maybe casting 2.0 moved to users and not just Quest Developer Hub pros.

Update: oh good, I'm now blocked by them on LinkedIn too.

This guy is so annoying. Like, do you want me to stay out of your business or not (as indicated by you blocking/silencing me after asking honest questions)?

Please take your fake headset somewhere else and put in SOME effort at curating your community.

Turns out all this time someone was actually working in the lab. https://youtu.be/82tdTAA4TtQ?si=hBeAAQ_TbIGu0ZxM

Apple Vision Pro showed the XR industry an admirable aspiration of what to build.

Meta's Orion demo showed consumers a desirable future of what to buy.
