Oh boy, the nostalgia levels are increasing!!!

Every now and then I go through an old box and find some fun piece of nostalgia from the past decade in VR 🥰

It’s amazing how far we’ve come in such a short time!

I’m really curious if they’ll use the IR cameras too for tracking, or if it’ll be limited to hand tracking only for drift correction. Same with exposing haptics APIs

In either case, this is great news for devs! Unified controls is awesome and the PSVR2 controllers are one of the highlights of PSVR2

To all my #VR #AR #XR developer friends:

If you have released a title this year / have updated your existing one and don't know what I am working on right now, please get in touch ASAP. DMs open!

Alright folks, time to pick another platform to post to now that @heaney555.bsky.social is here

😂

Oh man, I didn’t get into custom robo until the DS version, but man do I have fond memories of that game ♥️

I made accounts for @cubismvr.bsky.social and @laserdancegame.bsky.social - give them a follow!

Hey Bluesky👋

Laser Dance is a mixed reality game for Meta Quest that'll transform your living room into a laser obstacle course, straight out of a spy film!

Follow for updates 🙌

Hey Bluesky👋

Cubism is a deceptively simple XR puzzle game where you piece together increasingly complex shapes out of colorful blocks.

Out now on Meta Quest and other platforms (see link in bio) - follow here for updates!

We've now reached the limit for accounts we can add, so @henrystockdale.com will be creating a second Starter Pack soon. If you're not on the first and would like to be added, please let him know

So excited for the volume mixer launch!!! I’ve been pushing for this for so long, and I’m glad to see my work finally get released! 😊

Hi to all my new (and old) followers!

I am Mark and I have been doing #VR, #AR and #MR stuff since 2012.

Just shipped Starship Home for #MetaQuest3S, but you might know me from "SUPERHOT VR", a Tilt Five launch title called "Mark's Magnificent Marble Maze" or my Quest launch title "Gravity Lab"

Currently purchasing a new home and had this conversation:

Spouse: “We’ll need to get couches that are easy to move for the living room”
Me: “Why?”
Them: “So we can easily move it out of the way for VR space”

It’s been exciting planning out how we’ll make VR/MR a deeper part of our home this time!

That plus all the political garbage. I don’t mind a bit of it to stay informed, but it began feeling like 90% was pure political junk, 5% actual political stuff, and then maybe 5% any other interests.

Made a quick Starter Pack for the VR community! If there's anyone you think I should add, let me know! Also, if you don't mind, repost this so more people can see it, thus showing me more people I should add :D

The positivity and seeing actual XR folks over here is really making BlueSky into a solid platform finally. It finally feels like we’ve got an alternative to Twitter that fits the proper niche. Threads was close, but the near-ness to Insta/FB meant I felt limited to what I wanted to post.

New to Bluesky and looking for VR/XR people to follow? Our @henrystockdale.com has prepared a Starter Pack with some suggestions go.bsky.app/QSzCkRM

Can cook, or try to cook? Cause one of those I may qualify for 😂

Ooo yeah, I wouldn’t mind be added too!

Alrighy, fun little app idea: so folks love building little emulators for older coding languages and runtimes like DoS right? We need that same thing, but punchcards in MR. Have it physically in the room and such. Maybe get some real world interaction going with some real world cards that work?

Algo test — who can see this message?

If this gets twenty likes I’ll start posting a lot more over here.

Alright this is a pretty cool feature 😲

Think it might be finally time to quit twitter altogether and go all in on here/Threads

Though I need to find a better balance on rants vs actually posting fun things 😅

Should probably just do progress pics on my side-projects finally? Do people actually find those interesting?

XR NETWORKING THREAD 🚨 If you’re in the industry and want to connect with new people coming in (or vice versa), drop a line here to introduce yourself so people can follow you. RT to spread this list around!

Hi folks, I’m Gerald, and I work on XR audio at Meta! I also do random XR projects in my spare time under RGB Schemes ^_^ 👋
