For sure. I would really like to see more UX articles aimed at developers - I think that would help combat the "design is only looks" attitude you mentioned, it's a bit more logical/rational than pure graphic design, and

when you're critiquing design, you have to do it in the context of the design goals the team had in mind. So even if Comic Sans (in hot pink) is your favorite font, you would agree that it produces the wrong emotion on, say, a gravedig

Ditto on presence. I bought a Vive and it's been... interesting. I actually haven't touched any games in months, but I still break it out every few weeks to prototype something in Unity/Unreal. Also, I've been using Goog

Hi everyone! We started working on Chorus because it was really difficult to recommend the podcasts we love to friends - so we mashed up a podcast player with a social network and got Chorus. Chorus for iOS: https://itunes.apple.

I'm curious how well this works. A big part of design (aside from visual pleasantness) is information hierarchy, in which layout (order/spacing/size/etc) of various pieces of content is manipulated (via css) for emphasis

I really enjoy Unreal's Blueprints. I program in a text-based language for work, so it's fun for me to go home and be able to hack on a game without having to spend more hours staring at text on a screen. A big difference that I&#

Huh, I've never heard to keep weight off the keyring. I imagine this is to avoid unnecessary force on the ignition assembly? Obviously you wouldn't want to put several lbs on there, but it seems like small items would be fine. Reg

By definition, the people that make interesting cinematic experiences in VR won't be "film makers". I don't know if we've created a job title for them yet. It's a completely different medium, with completely di

It's obvious that this is a super-early release, but I'm happy that AirBnB ENG is working on a navigation solution. Also: On iOS, ViewController transitions can be animated using Lottie. It's possible we could add support fo

Funny, so did I. Extremely talented team, and hands-down some of the nicest people I've ever worked with. From what I've heard of Planet, it seems like a solid cultural fit - excited to see what comes next.

Hopefully it does get ported to javascript. In the meantime, if you happen to use react, https://github.com/necolas/react-native-web is a good way to use react-native's styling approach (which uses css-layout unde

Agreed. While I do think there are some interesting applications for building perfect reconstructions of reality, I think the most interesting experiences won't be in that direction.

I think that goes deeper than the "story we want to tell" - in other words, I don't think everyone is faking it. Look at Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs: - Physiological - Safety - Love/Belonging - Esteem - Self-actual

This looks like a really cool piece of software, but I think a lot of it's best features should be unbundled or made available in the IDE you already use. Namely: * Simple package search + install without opening a web browser * Reac
