In light of this, I’m happy to announce I’ve received funding from my old employer, SideQuest, to expand my OpenXR Unity extension plugin further! Let’s all move away from vendor SDKs and make OpenXR truly cross platform. github.com/mikeskydev/u...

EgoPoser is a novel method for accurate full-body pose estimation—purely from egocentric capture of head & hand poses (even when out of view)
#ECCV2024

EgoPoser supports diverse body shapes & remains robust even when users move in large environments

A starter pack of #XR and #HCi researchers!
As this platform grows, I thought I'd share a starter pack of #XR + #HCI researchers I've come across! This includes individuals exploring augmented reality, virtual reality, mixed reality, and related areas.

Let me know if you would like to be added or have any recommendations!
