This thing is so sweet…. Finally getting to play thru DS/3DS and other console games that I never had. AYN Thor. Amazing retro emulator handheld

Death stranding 2 feels overrated with review scores of 9s and 10s (and I say this as a big DS fan) Glad to see a lot more nuanced takes in this Reddit thread from hardcore fans www.reddit.com/r/DeathStran...

Death Stranding 2 reviews are looking goooood. So excited to play tonight!

@garnettlee.bsky.social do you ever consider podcasting again on the regular? Maybe from an investor/game biz perspective? You and John D are the people I miss hearing from the most

ive been on a hunt to figure out what games support 480hz (or above). here's what i've found so far any game that has a fully unlocked frame rate works any other games that come to mind?

Noticing that many PC games from the early to mid 2010s have an arbitrary limit of 200fps ie: - doom 2016 - mirrors edge catalyst - battlefield 4

I’m buying a PS5 for death stranding 2

A thread of thoughts on radiance fields, from my keynote at 3DV: Radiance fields have had 3 distinct generations. First was NeRF: just posenc and a tiny MLP. This was slow to train but worked really well, and it was unusually compressed --- The NeRF was smaller than the images.

This open-air quest 3 facial interface is truly the convertible, drop-top, “feel and smell the air around you” accessory of VR

Hey VR/MR devs 👋 We need your 📈 DATA 📉 for our Reboot Blue talk; 'The game has changed: VR games marketing in 2025' - All data you provide is completely anonymous - We'll post a summary of the findings after Reboot - Should only take you 5 mins - We'd be very appreciative - Form below 👇

Splats are great, but wouldn’t it be wonderful if we could transform them into the stuff of dreams? Introducing our #CVPR2025 paper ✨Morpheus✨! Morpheus lets you change the shape and appearance of 3D Gaussian splats with a few words! nianticlabs.github.io/morpheus/ (1/6)

end-to-end latency test for moonlight streaming from my PC (shown on the monitor) to me Steam Deck Total latency at 60fps is around a frame (16ms). Even less so for 90fps. Feels fantastic for playing with a controller

Who’s in town for GDC?

Why doesn’t valve put any effort into making Steam Link as good as moonlight streaming? Such a shame! It’s a core part of the Steam deck experience

Ai is great case I can ask it “Yo bud ffmpeg command compress video to 720p 30fps make it good looking but under 30 mb no audio h264 mp4 stat homie keep it succinct” and get a perfect result

I just got a phone call from someone advertising a GDC event... wtf!

I put together a "1 click" utility that converts Fujifilm MPO files -> SBS -> Spatial Photos for Apple Vision Pro It combines CLI utilities from Stereoautoalign and Spatial Video Tools to batch process a series of image github.com/azadbal/MPO-...

Currently dealing with two opinions at odds with each other 1. meta horizon worlds is cancer and is killing the quest vr dev ecosystem 2. meta horizon worlds is the reason why meta is subsidizing the headsets, which is how the quest dev vr exist in the first place Thoughts?

The camera’s here and I’m lovin it! Fantastic camera baseline, optical zoom, surprisingly decent quality in low light, a 3D display for preview, auto-alignment during capture, and a satisfying flip up/down mechanism for turning it on—15 year old tech! Will work on converting to spatial photos!

Bach droppin a new banger soon y’all get ready

just bought a 15 year old 3D camera (Fujifilm w3) shipping from Japan lets goooo my stereographs/spatial photos will finally include people and other non-static subjects 😆

The reason I’m in Bsky is because I missed seeing a lot of your faces on Twitter Glad to see that there is a place where a lot of the vr world congregated outside of twitter

New 3D scan from my Ruins of Ani series “Monastery of the Hripsimian Virgins” Links to view/download a mesh and Gaussian splat bellow 👇

Found a neat use case of my Vision Pro: previewing 3D prints before printing them. Visualizing the scale of prints is always hard—not anymore! The workflow is super easy. Export model as USDZ from blender and open it in Vision Pro.

Church of Saint Gregory (Exterior) - Ruins of Ani gaussian splat to be viewed in VR. Gracia ai link below

btw - this is what a photogrammetry project looks like you have a whole bunch of photos (in this case 1180 images from a DSLR and a drone) where you compare high contrast features against one another to find shared tie points, which make up the point cloud that you see next, for meshing

btw I make all my 3D scans 1:1 scale to explore in VR btw viewable as gaussian splats... coming soon!

A few year ago, my wife and I went to Turkey to 3D scan the ruins of Ani, the medieval capital of Armenia I’m finally starting to publish my work—downloadable via sketchfab for free! Links below 👇

@christianspicer.bsky.social I know you like GeForce Now so have you tried local streaming via Moonlight? It’s an open sourced version of GameStream and is super high quality + low latency. Runs on almost anything (YMMV) I stream pc games -> Vision Pro/Steam deck bsky.app/profile/azad...

Moonlight streaming pc -> steam deck latency test It’s… pretty dang fast! A part of it is due to the HEVC decoding speed on Steam deck being super fast (<1ms)

@garnettlee.bsky.social @jeffcannata.bsky.social Any chance either of you have an archive of Weekend Confirmed? The official RSS feed (still up!) only starts at ep 180. There is an archive.org collection but the files are inaccessible. Would be a shame if those eps become lost media!

Ok I’m back to streaming games to my Vision Pro Forgot of fing awesome it is to play on a massive screen compared to my Steam deck. I’m even using my 5.1 surround sound speakers for that non-simulated spatial audio

Farewell @yosp-jp.bsky.social, former president of SIE, one of the biggest names behind PlayStation Your support for indie games on the platform is cherished and your endorsement of Puzzling Places was an absolute highlight ❤️ 🙇‍♂️

My Meta Ray Bans have become something I use daily, even without prescription lenses - sunglasses + podcast speakers while I bike to work - mic + speakers for phone and some zoom calls - dashcam for the streets They feel like v0.1 of AR glasses, focusing use cases that already exist (audio/video)

Fyi you wanna be cool and have your own @ domain, follow this tutorial https://youtu.be/lP3OVCwyqJA

The new Indiana jones game is best looking game I’ve ever played The full path tracing mode is truly the first time I’ve been awestruck with ray tracing. Every room GI, every material’s speculars, every object on a shelf, every leaf and branch just looks… right!

I love moonlight streaming ❤️ I can be hundreds of miles away from my PC, run a Cyberpunk at 120fps HDR on it, and stream it to my phone with only 20ms of latency And if I’m at home on the same network, latency is down to just 4ms!! I can play from my phone, laptop, Apple TV, or a vr headset!

Some personal news! 📣 Recently, I joined Niantic Labs as the product lead to work on MR apps and Gaussian splatting! Today, we’re launching “Into The Scaniverse”—A way of viewing @scaniverse.bsky.social splats in VR (yours and the ones posted to the map) 📸 More deets below 👇

Btw, I thought it was well-known that fashion/aesthetic trends resurface from 30 years ago (currently 1990s) because the generation that was growing up then is peaking right now (entering middle age) and that nostalgia influences pop culture. I’ve gotten some surprised reactions when I’ve said this.

I play more “games in vr” than actual “vr games” these days I suspect this might be the case in down the line when headsets are abundant I don’t think this is a bad thing. A user using vr for 2D things (films, games) is 10x more likely to boot up a vr game than a person not wearing a headset

i should just share more photos of photogrammetry and 3dgs reconstructions theyre cool to just look at

Virtual monitors in vr can finally put an end to the stupid r/tvtoohigh debates

why does this scene in Cyberpunk look so flat with RT (2nd image) than without (1st image)?

Report from my family in Aleppo, Syria (Armenians) Before you support the rebels just cause they’re “anti-authoritarian”, consider this Look at what happened when Saddam fell: the power vacuum pulled in even worse extremists (aka ISIS) who killed gays, raped women, destabilized the whole region…🧵

Happy Thanksgiving to all of you in the ar/vr industry I love you all and I’m grateful to be surrounded by smart, creative, and resilient people who have been in it for the long haul 🧡

I’m really happy that valve is going with controllers that look like Quest 3’s The form factor is great, small, easy to pick up or drop, and portable. Combined with the fact that it’ll mirror Steam Deck’s buttons means it’s going to a killer 2D gaming console too I’m hyped
