Ruben Fro is doing some cool stuff with animated gaussian splats: https://twitter.com/Ruben_Fro Think of them as point clouds + lighting. Relighting is viable. Procedural deformation is viable. Animation is just a case of t

I love VR and I think Meta is ahead of the crowd if anything. To some extent this is the "UX is hard" story all over again. But there's some awful cruft accumulation and not enough forceful direction to remove it. Does anyone

I'm still using Cardboard Camera. It installed on my new phone when I set up it (probably because it was on the previous device). Have you tried grabbing the apk from somewhere?

One case I recall was a developer who used AI text to speech for speech synthesis and was rejected for "using AI". If this report (and my recollection) is accurate then Valve do seem to be taking it to ridiculous extreme. (EDIT -

My point is that people WILL use your Discord as a forum and it WILL accumulate valuable knowledge. This knowledge should be mirrored to the web so it's discoverable and archivable. And to do that you need consent - you should notify u

Which metaverse are you mocking? The web3/blockchain one? The specific Meta one? Or the broader definition which (depending on your precise definition) is doing rather well. My point is that there's no agreed term. Some people inc

I don't follow. I was making the point that Tim Sweeney is not a terribly good role model for "enlightened management" in light of his actions when his own interests are threatened.
