Can just download the ticket on your phone or print it. You save time anyways not having to check in. It's just the idiot tax for people for not reading. Free check in of extra luggage at the gate. If you end up paying for the "lu

Love Mac and Cheese, was excited to hear about it a while back. Went to MAC'D in the Marina with family. Pretty good! Though heavy for us and not as much meat. Perhaps we'll get ourselves MAC'D again every now and then. M

As one of the creators of A-Frame (and Supercraft above), and there with WebVR near the beginning. I agree, it's still a mess, early, and people love to hype and shout how awesome things are with cool images, GIFs, and videos, when the

Definitely! The next coming of the Web, VR and AR based, will have history repeat itself with Netscape, Yahoo, Geocities, etc. We created A-Frame to kick it off, but really need a browser to make everything easy to consume. Current browsers

Yeah. If you have a laptop, you might have to configure NVIDIA settings to use high performance for Firefox. Supermedium (our browser purely for VR apps) configures that automatically and has made WebVR easily available on Steam and Oculus.

Thanks for sharing! We're Supermedium from YC W18. We built Supercraft to easily allow people to intuitively build their own worlds with their hands in VR that can be shared with just a URL. It also allows WebVR and A-Frame developers

I've tried it all. VVR was okay for like a few minutes. I didn't feel any illusion, flipping a pancake and such still felt like a wiggler. It's not just "feeling" like being able to move it, 6DoF enables an entire c

Helps they have hundreds of employees to upvote the posts on HN too. I've been there :)

It runs like native mostly fine for the most part, doesn't call for a rebuild from scratch. Our VR browser engine is based off of FF for now, and it's on Steam VR and Oculus Stores without anyone noticing.

It's only one controller that can only wiggle.

The problem is all the great stuff is on Vive and Rift which is inconvenient to jump into. Then you have Oculus Go which is convenient to jump into, but there's not much great stuff due to lack of hands (crippled interactivity), and wi

That doesn't validate it for users though, only that other businesses believe it has traction and value.

Seems like that was an issue with Chrome? We have our own VR browser (Supermedium), try your content there and let us know. There is a smidge of latency of Steam VR, but we'll look to optimize it soon, otherwise it's indiscernable

Hey, I'm one of the creators and current maintainers of A-Frame. We (the creators of A-Frame) started Supermedium as part of YC W18 to continue to push VR on the Web, and we recently released a WebVR application on top of A-Frame to cr

I think leading with the fundraising amount isn't the best way to plug around HN.

Similar behavior at baggage claims, people stand as close to the conveyor belt as possible, blocking the view of people behind them. Then people behind try to get closer, etc.

Getting 1000mbps up/down on Sonic for half the price in Richmond District in SF. Good service, no complaints.

Congrats! Tempting to grab a couple Go's for Bigscreen, just to watch movies comfortably in bed or something.

No, Blocks especially requires 6DoF. Can probably view Blocks stuff though.

Had mine for almost a year. There was a couple times the shift key had to press really hard, but just hitting it really hard rapidly usually realigned it. The back of my Macbook screen does make intermittent popping sounds though.

Download and watch movies and shows on a VR headset, have your own personal cinema theater and forget you're on a plane.

Definitely multi-user tooling is still early, and the blog post was meant as a simple demo, but rapidly improving. At least "bunch of people in a world" is extremely feasible (syncing heads/hands). The community is still grow

A-Frame's just a general ECS-based JS/VR framework on top of three.js with access to any Web API. It's extensible and modular so P2P networking (or Websockets or Firebase) have been done as community components. The community
