@Guul @SURF More important than the question of when or what it will be is the question why it should be anything at all.

Dubious actors are scrambling for the next cash cow monopoly, and this document rightfully mentions infamous parties as a reason why people are reluctant of the whole thing. But it counts 0 occurances of the word "why". Why would anyone even want it in the first place? What need does it aim to fulfill?

OK, I can't speak to the hardware as I've not tried it, and I'm still convinced Meta's business model will lead it to a place that's actively horrible for its users, but their ad agency has absolutely nailed this video/ad/short film. This is best-in-class advertising, even better than Apple's.

I've never seen anyone make a better case for general consumer adoption of XR Headsets than this.

@jp Having an extra Quest for a friend or family member opens up countless possibilities for fun co-op experiences!

The great thing about the Quest is that it also doubles as a decent PCVR headset, so money you put into your new PC is not wasted even if you upgrade your Quest.

For me, I might upgrade from my Pico 4, which is extremely comfortable, if the Quest 3 offers better FOV. Have to watch some reviews to find out 😀

The main things I'm interested in about the Quest 3 are the resolution bump and comfort. If both of those are really improved over the 2 I could see myself upgrading a while from now. And then I'd have a Quest 2 to gift to a family member who wants it.

The extra GPU power sounds nice but I've got plans to build a PC soon so that doesn't really matter to me.

Maar het zijn vooral gemiste kansen die in het oog springen: [...]

Kortom, de vragen die worden opgeworpen in de tentoonstelling zijn interessant en legitiem, maar de meest prangende worden niet gesteld en de uitwerking van de vragen blijft ver achter, mede door de beperkte omvang en de aanpak van de tentoonstelling. En dat is jammer."

Before opting in to the beta, you may want to wait for playspace moving utilities like "OVR Advanced Settings" to update.

SteamVR Beta Updated - 2.0.1
Greetings! Today we are shipping SteamVR 2.0 in beta. We see this is as the first major step toward our goal of bringing all of what's new on the Steam platform into VR. In order to use all the features in this beta, you must also opt into the Steam Client Beta
(see instructions below).



Users who opt into this beta will notice a new UI with lots of added features:

    Most of the current features of Steam and Steam Deck are now part of SteamVR
    Updated keyboard with support for new languages, emojis, and themes
    Integration of Steam Chat and Voice Chat
    Improved Store that puts new and popular VR releases front and center
This is just the beginning of SteamVR 2.0’s journey, and we’ll have more to share in the coming weeks and months as we collect feedback and work on the features mentioned above. This beta will give us a chance to work out the kinks as more and more people try it out. As with all betas, this means SteamVR 2.0 will get better and better as we prepare it for its eventual full public launch.

To opt into the SteamVR Beta, follow the instructions in this article.

To opt into the Steam Client Beta, follow the instructions in this article.

If you encounter issues with this update, please post in the SteamVR Bug Report forum. If possible, please include a system report to aid in tracking down your issue. Replies to this post are not tracked for bug reporting purposes. Please use the forum linked above to report issues.


In addition to the new dashboard interface, this beta brings the following changes:

SteamVR:

    Floating overlay windows can now be interacted with while the dashboard is hidden.
    Fixed crash on exit for some Unity titles.
    Increased the system layer resolution limit. This was previously 1.5x the recommended render target scale, but is now applied to width and height independently.
    Fix a case where controller configuration would not be localized in the user’s preferred language (as configured in Steam).
    Added a prompt to install the Bigscreen Beyond Driver when the headset is detected.

Meta:

    Hide the SteamVR IPD slider since Meta already shows one.


Linux:

    Transition to the Steam Linux Runtime 3.0 (sniper) for improved compatibility.


Drivers:

    For drivers which provide a manifest but don’t specify “resourceOnly”, default to true if there is no bin directory.
    Add a manifest entry "showEnableInSettings" which can be set to force a driver to appear in the “addons” settings even if default rules would hide it.
    When a specific driver is forced with the "forcedDriver" setting or the VR_FORCE_TEST_DRIVER, load it even if it is disabled.
    When a specific driver is forced with the "forcedDriver" setting or the VR_FORCE_TEST_DRIVER, only allow an HMD to activate from that driver (even if other drivers are loaded due to “activateMultipleDrivers” and they activate an HMD first). The forced driver always had the first opportunity to activate an HMD before, but now we will wait for it to hotplug an HMD rather than letting another available HMD win.
    The “LastKnown” section in settings (which updates with the manufacturer and model of the last used HMD) now also keeps track of the “ActualHMDDriver” (e.g. “lighthouse”) that provided the HMD.

@CM30 I guess this is more down to the userbase being such that some niche topics are not widely discussed rather than anything technical? FWIW in my case most of my niches of interest are covered quite well here in the #fediverse but #virtualreality does not get talked about that much.

Even if they walk it back, the Unity debacle is ultimately good for the XR community. Allowing a game engine to dominate the space has locked out developers who have no interest in game development.

We need to move away from game engines and create new & intuitive tools, designed from the ground up for XR, enabling an untapped community to discover new use-cases.

An interesting interview by Real Sound of @syuilo@misskey.io & @AureoleArk@misskey.io about the challenges of running Misskey & their future goals for the project.

I posted a
summarized version on @darnell@darnell.day, but for those who too busy, here is essence of what I typed.

👉🏾 It costs ¥‎2,000,000 (or $13,530) per month to run Misskey (they will reduce that cost to ¥‎500,000 or $3,383 by optimizing the site)

👉🏾 Misskey has non-instrusive ads to help pay the bills, but they want to move towards a funding model similar to what Mastodon has done

👉🏾 Misskey wants to explore Virtual Reality (VR) in the future. I think they should checkout Counter Social who is one of the few prominent instances who has embraced VR

That’s it! Also I am posting this on Misskey instead of my Mastodon account (over at
@darnell@one.darnell.one) as there is more flexibility when it comes to links & characters (I want to keep my Mastodon at 500 characters max for now).

It’s an interesting and exciting prospect, though I can see the flaws in it - a big one being the avatar tech just isn’t there yet to accurately translate the language, as sign language isn’t just about hand and arm gestures, but about expression, body language, grammar, and dialect as well. I have more research to read though!

#VirtualReality has negative side effects – new research shows that can be a problem in the workplace

80% of VR users report mild to severe short-term side effects. Symptoms can make it harder to efficiently do basic tasks like reading and writing emails.

Nonetheless, several tech giants, like Meta and Microsoft, are promoting #VR technology as the future of the workplace. To safeguard workers, employers need a better understanding of the negative side effects of VR.

Funktioniert "Waldbaden" auch in der virtuellen Realität?

Können Wälder aus dem Computer Menschen genauso physiologisch berühren wie echte? Ein Forschungsprojekt will es herausfinden.

Missing Link: Virtueller Tatort in der CAVE des LKA Baden-Württemberg

Beim LKA Stuttgart steht eine VR-Umgebung für die Rekonstruktion von Tatorten. Die CAVE ist einzigartig im Ländle – und wurde möglich durch den Diesel-Skandal.

And now to something completely different: for a project I am looking for AR/XR glasses with the following features: camera with the abilty to live stream the content to a remote audience, two way audio connection with this audience, and ideally the option to read/see feedback from the audience on the AR display. If there is a very robust and convincing solution without the latter, maybe audio feedback is enough, too. What would you recommend?

Augmented Reality for ALL of us!
https://somegadgetguy.com/2023/07/25/xreal-beam-ar-for-all-of-us/

I'm partnering with XREAL to clear the air about AR glasses, and show off the new BEAM AR adapter.

For folks who have been frustrated that their iPhone or Pixel doesn't support a fancy pair of glasses, the XREAL BEAM adds AR features and head tracking to ANY computer you connect to the XREAL AIR.

Get a floating virtual monitor at a price that won't break the bank!

@openculture Why limit your interest to #VirtualReality and imaginary medieval cities?

Watching #Putin turn #Moscow into an actual medieval city is much more interesting!

I don't have a Meta Quest (or like Roblox) but my kid has one, and he loves Roblox -- this news is probably gonna be pretty big for him and other fans of the game. I posted a thing the other day about how over *half* of all kids in the USA play Roblox.

That's pretty wild.

Hallucinations induced by virtual reality might support creative thinking.

Magni and colleagues theorize that virtual reality (VR) can be used as an alternative to some psychedelic substances.

VR induced hallucinations might enhance divergent thinking due to their effect on cognitive flexibility.

Would love to see this theory confirmed in a good set of experiments!

I'm looking to buy a new VR game. Something that's a nice mix of puzzles and action, along the lines of Half Life: Alyx or Apex Construct. Any recommendations?

So, I’m low-key thinking of writing my first-ever graphics-heavy software. (Specifically, to do with VR / UIs, but not gaming.)

Thing is, my experience is with PLT & compilers, distsys, FOSS … but _extremely_ not graphics, GPUs, or single-host performance of pretty much any kind.

I need advice. If I want to learn some relatively-low-level graphics stuff, but I have _zero_ relevant background; where do I start?

Any resources for me (tutorials, books, well-known starter projects?)

(Also, any Mastodon accounts I should follow on this topic? Poke me if you're into this stuff and I'll follow you! :P)

I have had this immersive theatre experience in social VR, and I can very highly recommend it! It's on the social VR platform NeosVR (details in the links).

The Summer performance schedule is out, and they have 4 Hero tickets for every show! (The Hero interacts with the other actors.)

Lots of cool new add-ons! It's a perfect time to plan a mission with some friends! Read all the details here: https://shorturl.at/bioR1 and buy tickets here: https://lnkd.in/erXM87-8

Google is reportedly cancelling their AR project Iris. I REALLY HOPE Iris was their mixed reality ski goggle headset, and not the simpler glasses shown here demoing real time translation.
https://youtu.be/lj0bFX9HXeE

I owned the Focals by North glasses, and I can't tell you how transformative that experience was. It was NOT any kind of real AR. It was a simple heads up display, with a UI like a smartwatch, but at eye level. It was amazing.

I truly believe we're skipping an INCREDIBLY important step trying to race to magic sci-fi AR. So many interactions with our technology would be wonderfully streamlined with a simple graphic or text at eye level.

Here's the article on Google Iris https://www.businessinsider.com/google-ar-iris-augmented-reality-smart-glasses-2023-6

#introduction part two, this time for infosec.exchange folks

I was on usenet and IRC way too young in the 90s and ended up playing different roles from teenage hacker to penetration tester, then security engineer, security consultant and now security architect.

Cloud security has been my trade for the last few years and I am now working on my Masters thesis on adversarial techniques against #AI systems.

In my spare time I like playing around with #godot and #virtualreality.

Wow, two new VR games that look incredible are coming out soon -- the last two posts I boosted. Outta Hand and Toss. Genius looking mechanics/gameplay in both.

In case you didn't see the boosts,

I spend a lot of time studying #propaganda and #disinformation. One theme that I constantly see in the literature is that P&D use our default cognitive biases.

Why is it that, by default, we're no good at directly apprehending reality?

Some people say we are entering the age of virtual reality. This is false. Humans have been making virtual reality since the beginning.

It's just that the technology is finally catching up with us.
