A screenshot of a kitchen through a vr headset. Objects contained in green bounding boxes with AI text descriptions attached.
Testing out the new camera-api samples for the Quest 3 today with decent results in the kitchen. Not bad for a model running on the headset!

I think the article missed the mark on describing the VR market as fragmented. PCVR users seem to largely be using the Meta Quest series based on steam hardware surveys. While the Quests work for PCVR I don't think this will change. The fact that there are two separate stores doesn't really matter.

In the centre of the image is a large up right piece of petrified wood on a brown gravelly surface. Below it is a scale card measuring the chunk as about 12cm wide and ~30cm long.

The fossilised imprint of a fern or maybe conifer seed in a piece of rock held in a persons hand.
Part of the fun working in western Queensland is the abundance of fossils we find while surveying.

Spent the day wandering between the Mozu Kofun in Sakai City. Amazing monumental tombs, or as my partner described them, big piles of dirt...

Dangerous wildlife and beautiful scenery doing a rock art survey last year in the NT.

A new social media profile is always a good chance to post old fieldwork pics.
