The Joy of VR Indiedev #2 - working on hand tracking integrated with the hurricane physics interaction system - closer to a controller-free game of beer die - but still no dice

VR thought experiment of the day: on one hand there are let’s say generously 50 million VR headsets in use. On the other hand easily over 500 million motorcycle helmets in use. They cost about the same. Which on weighs more? Which one has more value? Let’s include the motorcycle too.

My friend asked me if I wanted a frozen banana. I said no, but I would like a regular banana later, so yeah.
Everyone has one Mitch Hedberg joke stashed in their brain like a squirrel to sustain them whenever they need to feel joy for 30 seconds and mine is “they say the recipe for Sprite is Lemon and Lime but I tried to make it at home, there’s more to it than that”

It was fun to come home to find this in the mailbox. Make Magazine did a nice spread on the Spacebar Giant Arcade Machine! This checks a life goal as I’ve been a fan of the magazine and part of the maker movement for years. Where should this beautiful beast pop up next? #VR

Things you learn in Silicon Valley by accident: how to design printed circuit boards. I was encouraged and assisted by friends met through pure serendipity, and I started down this particular road because my nephew asked Santa for something that didn’t exist. To me, this is actual magic.

Interesting that I barely use Threads, but if I post to IG it auto posts to threads and my engagement there is waaaaay higher than posting the same thing here.

I spent a wonderful night with client and friend @sam.bsky.social in his new game SPACEBAR!
Even though we were separated by thousands of miles, we had an amazing time riding giant moons, talking to AIs, and chatting.
And look at that 2 story game cabinet! 🕹️😍

I could give a diatribe about the many failings of capitalism, but I keep hearing people say “capitalism is fundamentally exploitative” and that is just not true. It’s not baked into capitalism, it’s baked into humanity - exploitative people existed long before markets

This cringe is a prime example of a marketing team that does not understand the target audience at all. There are in fact lots of actual kids having actual fun in Horizon. They could have shown authentic fun in an authentic user-created world instead of obviously scripted bs in a fabricated bs world
This is Meta’s brand new ad for Horizon Worlds. Not sure how I’m supposed to feel about it.

In lieu of fact checking, an easy temporary algorithm is that we could safely ignore any post that contains randomly capitalized words. This is the text equivalent of wearing a tinfoil hat.

Fun little new interaction design in Spacebar is the ability to gently release into zero gravity, or toss with gravity. It’s the kind of thing that feels like a magic trick in VR. Free on Meta Quest here: www.meta.com/s/1tTVAslo7
