The Virtual Boy is currently working! One eye had been broken for some years, but stereo has been seen in recent weeks (because the lab is quite cold at the moment?)

I am very sad to learn that Fred Brooks passed away. I had the pleasure of having many lunches with Fred when he was at for a sabbatical writing his book Design of Design. He inspired many of us to tackle the hard science and engineering problems in front of us.

The PICO 4 is a very nice HMD. We might invest in more of those rather than buying more Quest 2s for the scary number of students taking our VR module next term!

The only VR I had tried before committing to a PhD was in Mel's lab on a visit. But I had a bit of a background in graphics and simulation from my undergraduate days, definitely wanted to do a PhD in something to do with graphics, and Mel had the coolest systems and ideas

I have built lots of esoteric VR systems over the years, various languages, weird & obstinate hardware, lots of components. I am impressed by the audacity of this: Linux running on VRChat (i.e. running in a shader - so much for secure VR platforms)

More reasons to hate Manuscript Central. The submit button on the review page doesn't work if you have an ad-blocker. But if you turn your ad-blocker off, it deletes the review you just entered. But you need to remember to disable ad-blocker on every subdomain.
