I’m unsure here, are you talking about a literal OS or is it an analogy for the mind and our ability to focus while keeping other tasks running in the background?

More context https://x.com/utopiah/status/1761326423338267101 I thought it was obvious (sorry, as I said over breakfast so still waking up ;) but this is a Spike kit, so it’s remote controller and can move. The point of adding the XR on it is to track the “robot” in 6DoF.

PS: context for the photo starting this thread https://x.com/utopiah/status/1867482430028013811 I did this over breakfast (so less than 30min) which would have been enough time for me to 3D print any missing pieces (and they were, arguably) and yet I only thought about it now, after, not while building.

Maybe the maker culture, e.g. https://x.com/utopiah/status/1862808956885762429 is still perceived at too elitist, complex, exclusive?

And explorations like https://x.com/stephen_hawes_/status/1866655387941998939 again it is SO exciting and yet, until WE change the way we work, create, consume, on a daily basis it remains unleveraged potential despite being (again, relatively) affordable.

TBH I can imagine (sadly) the same process for electronics at home, e.g. https://x.com/OpuloInc/status/1833522134359879917 and my little nook at home https://fabien.benetou.fr/Cookbook/Electronics

Creative breakfast at home.
IMHO XR is going the same way as 3D printing, namely that :
- it works
- it is (relatively) affordable
… yet it is SO different to the way we are used to do thinkgs, it’s still not catching on because WE are not challenging our ways sufficiently.

And how the curve itself would become the basis for modelling https://x.com/utopiah/status/1865666833270931607 without being a “static” object, rather a series of objects to find the perfect fit.
Totally different process.

I won’t manage today but… imagine having a 3D printing project (here LED skate harness) but there is no 3D model available. Sketch on the thing itself. Get the complex shape and precise enough measurement by hand.🤔

PS: technical clarification but I can do that within WebXR, e.g. https://x.com/utopiah/status/1614904373775138816 but not at the OS level. So again it’s not about the lack of capabilities, it’s about arbitrary limitations.

Replying to @utopiah
Can I do that in XR though? Why not?
Because platforms lock down to get priority on such features. It’s not a technical problem, it’s prioritizing themselves behind the pretense of security.
Meanwhile my Linux desktop is running perfectly which whatever features I want.🤷♂️

To clarify, I can do this on anything in my OS with a 2 keys shortcut. Voila, integrated to the OS. I mean it’s cool, sure, but it’s really not moat.

Why am I so adamant on the Web rather than an app :
- it works, NOW!
- the user decides, thanks to plugins, how they view content
- you can link to specific moments with time code
- you can embed on other pages
Being able to link is so powerful. Not locked silos as apps!

Just reflect on that for a bit, Google Cardboard was released on 2014, a decade ago, and they are still “holding on” for release. Come on.

Replying to @utopiah
PPS: also if my memory serves me well, on at least one VR platform (can’t recall which one nor the year) did support it but they have been at it for a while now… look at this cardboard https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/6239930 and Web based 360 controls (cf top left corner) since at least 2018.

Replying to @utopiah
PS: sorry if I’m being unclear here, if you take a random 360 video on YouTube you will NOT get a 360 player. You will not be able to properly view the video as it will appear totally distorted (an equirectangular texture basically) yet still stream.

Replying to @utopiah
Absolute disappointment, yet unsurprising.

Replying to @utopiah
Since VR starting, there has always been attempting at making 360 and other kind of content work in the browser. Plenty of solutions did and still do exist. Because Google own part of the stack, despite “claiming” they work for thew Web, still prevents it from growing.

This is SUCH bullshit.
This is NOT a technical problem, never. Other streaming video services, including free & open source like @joinPeertube (e.g. https://github.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube/issues/119 ) can support this kind of content.
What YouTube does it NOT make it work!

FWIW I did demos with speech recognition years ago, some more recent ones with newer solutions both local and remote, also with LLMs and related to code generation and… even though some are interesting, arguably, nothing really needed at the OS level, nothing radically new. 🤷♂️

Not promoting the Meta product, which come with plenty of downsides (starting with privacy) but features wise, again relative to those use cases, it doesn’t look like a radical difference.

Replying to @Azadux
Obviously if you have both, probably better use the AVP in most if not all situations, but if one were to have to chose between the two, the justification for the AVP wouldn’t be obvious.
(original)
-
Replying to @Azadux
I’d argue then a Quest would suffice then. IMHO what distinguish an AVP from a Quest is :
- Apple integration
- eye tracking
Arguably also
- screen resolution
- compute power
… but those are on a gradient (not binary).
And… for those use cases, the difference isn’t radical.

Did we learn anything from the TV era or did only advertisers, i.e. now Google, Meta and others, learn and us as viewers are still catching on, too slowly?
(original)

Replying to @utopiah
The “content” for a TV channel is NOT the movies or TV series or shows with ads in between, no it is the advertising itself!
The advertising is “cut” by what viewer think of content.
It is the wrong model.
Now think about that for the Internet and its ad driven business model.

but I’ll never forget what Patrick Le Lay, then CEO of France (and thus EU) TV channel said : “What we are selling to Coca-Cola is available human brain time” (verbatim « Ce que nous vendons à Coca-Cola, c’est du temps de cerveau humain disponible ») cf https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temps_de_cerveau_humain_disponible

FWIW I don’t have a TV. I don’t have the physical object nor TV channels.
Why? Precisely because I believe mindlessly consuming content is dangerous, to myself and others.
It is designed to be addictive and to shape behavior, exactly as explain here.
The quote is in French…
