Used NeRF to make a "Bullet Time" effect for a friend's wedding. We set up 15 iPhones to capture slow-motion video, then used Instant-NGP to train a bunch of NeRFs on the frames. ..need to work on improving the quality / resolution a bit more.

In case you missed the Duke Nukem Forever leak on Christmas, I've pushed some updates to the web player - added some information about the leak, a control cheat sheet, and viewers for all design docs and dev notes that were included with the leak. Enjoy! archive.org/details/duke-n

experimented with making gpt generate VR scenes with janus by talking to it. as it turns out, it can do it. the most interesting part is that it can handle spatial relationships so moving forward this vindicates the idea of using some kind of markup for scene description.

A demo of the attention mechanism of DeepMind's AlphaCode as it completes a coding question. Now consider having 100s of browser tabs open and the attention corresponded to clicking on buttons and keyboard keys.

The ability to make shots like this is now almost within reach of everyday users. We're in for a mind boggling amount of new content, the likes of which we've never seen before.

AI doing its part to make sure artists still get work. Maybe future versions could include links to relevant artists on Fiverr

These concepts for generative spatialized interfaces all feel so warm and inviting. We're not far from being able to generate and use these sorts of UIs for real. What shape do your conversations take? What connections do you make as you go about your day? Soon, we'll see.

fully generative XR OSs have SO much potential! entire environments, our approach to space, material, scale, context… I’ve been loving using image prompts in Midjourney v4 — critical to specify what words alone cannot (and the text prompt couldn’t even fit in here) 🧵:

Meta Quest Browser now has an experimental API for invoking the system keyboard in WebXR! developer.oculus.com/documentation/ Text entry in WebXR is a challenge we hear from devs a lot. Few want to roll their own soft keyboard. Check out the API and give feedback as we work to standardize!
