Love the portability of the #SteamDeck, but sometimes you just want a giant screen - #AppleVisionPro currently fills this gap.

Landslide! Thrilled to see Labor win. Normally don't mind the usual swings between Labor+Greens and Liberals+Nationals, the Liberal leader's recent dog whistling pushed me to vote Labor instead of my usual Greens.
Bonus: Lost his seat held by Liberals for 24 yrs!
Go trumpin get a thumpin I guess?

Always felt foreign language practice is a great use for #LLMs First attempt at fine-tuning Meta's llama3.1 (via @ollama ) to help with my now rusty German - lived in Germany for 5 years but have been away for as long. Great immersion substitute I think! (red: AI, yellow: me)

Been testing @ChatGPTapp & @AnthropicAI side-by-side for some of my more boring tasks. Here's an interesting one using a quick sparse prompt. #chatgpt4o provided an interesting name; #ClaudeAI is I guess an Apple fan 😆 Both hallucinated features but leaning on ChatGPT on this

Portability, device agnosticism, and accessibility are hallmarks of modern actions-based input that has served the wider games industry well.

There's been a sudden spike of interest with my @OpenXR provider lib & demos in @Github. It *appears* to coincide with the @Meta #Quest3 shipping date. I'm glad there's so much interest with OpenXR and if traffic is indeed Quest3 related, MR content specifically 🧵1/4

Happy that my #openxr provider repo is getting quite a bit of interest @github - however, it's eating up my bandwidth faster than I can purchase packs for it. The spike is so sudden, are these bots or some valid use (e.g. school)? I haven't really done any active promoting.

Why build a #vr game "editor" from the ground-up when you can just extend #Blender3d 🍩😁 Coming soon to my #openxr provider library!

Thanks for the feedback - still noodling. But as requested, releasing code & binaries early in a dev branch for folks who wish to follow along! Closest I’ve gotten to moving seamlessly in-and-out of different realities ala Star Trek’s holodeck. Enjoy!🖖 https://t.co/UNXZpHIBZC https://t.co/B...

Mixing Realities 2023 - There's just something compelling being able to traverse realities. I feel ppl who are VR-hesitant might feel more comfortable being able to peek out and see a comforting face #openxr #passthrough #xr #vr https://github.com/1runeberg/OpenXRProvider_v2

Decided to rewrite my #OpenXR library to support both PC-and-mobile (Android/Quest), and focus only on #VulkanAPI. Still WIP - but pretty happy with my PBR renderer which I plan to formally improve on as an optional module as it's a fun tinker 😄 https://github.com/1runeberg/OpenXRProvider_v2

Having seen how even just one election, a single term, can change things dramatically in a country for potentially decades - I'm all the more fired up to vote. Let's do this! #AustraliaVotes

Hand models in various formats (maya, blender, glb, fbx) are now available in the Valve repo under bsd3. We've also included a proxy skeleton that was used for troubleshooting while reconfiguring the original #SteamVR glove models to the #OpenXR spec: https://t.co/zEHJPGOqqt https://t.co/oSHcABa3US
