MASSIVE AR news today 😮
8th Wall will be shutting down next year - with platform access shutting down 28th Feb 2026 and all hosting being decommissioned a year later, after 28th Feb 2027.
Maybe it's not all sad news though.

We've been learning all about the links between balancing tech, health & wellness. With everything we learn, we find even more to delve into. The mind always craves more learning with every bit you give it. Lots of positive health outcomes come from lifelong learning 🧠
“Learning is the only thing the mind never exhausts, never fears, and never regrets.” — Leonardo da Vinci
Learning can absolutely invigorate the mind, kicking off a flame of fascination and curiosity the deeper you go.

The Even Realities G1s totally deserve THREE major design awards! They're my daily pair of glasses and always surprise people with how they look like a normal pair of glasses. If only they had speakers and/or a camera and they'd be perfect.

Doom running in a PDF file brings up so many questions around security and integrity of a PDF when it can do all of this...
I made a Doom source port that runs within a PDF file.
PDFs support Javascript, so Emscripten is used to compile Doom to asm.js, which is then run within the PDF engine. Input/output is done by manipulating text input fields.
