Wishing for cold and snow in the new year.

Hand tracking, mixed reality, and early access games are the focus in our second round of 2025 awards: www.uploadvr.com/best-2025-ha...

Merry Christmas gang :)

Hotel Infinity launches today on Meta Quest & PS VR2! It's a roomscale VR experience built around natural locomotion. Every step you take in real life moves you through the game Meta Quest: www.meta.com/experiences/... PS VR2: store.playstation.com/en-us/concep... youtu.be/ixaSqmiYqyU?...

Recording from recent playtest. 10 headsets connecting (almost) seamlessly, but still many bugs to squash

Cubism is a launch title on Galaxy XR! 🎉 Here's what the game looks like on device, playing in MR with hand tracking. Get it on Google Play here ➡️ bit.ly/49dLaA6

Yell magic spells at your friends 🔊 trev3d.com/portfolio/wi... Custom version of the Lasertag game with voice-activated spells. Made for Purdue University's student orientation event. Friends and I themed this as a fictional wizarding class.

Why not a Finnish director?

WIP

these r good

Line con

pushed lasertag v2.1 with a significant improvement to performance and battery usage

this project has poisoned my mind. every time I enter a large building I think "this would make a good Lasertag map"

Shooting some experimental Cubism footage today

Mit MR-Brillen wird spontane Lasertag-Action in Innenräumen und teils auch im Freien möglich. Ein innovatives Spiel zeigt, wie einfach das sein kann. #Mixed Reality

baby's first point registration

Lasertag v2 is live on the Meta Quest Store for free: – Live environment scanning. Bullets accurately collide with real-world obstacles. – StrikerVR Mavrik support for high impact haptics. – No IPs or room codes. Players connect automatically. More info: anagly.ph

Hauntify on Quest 3 will use Lasertag's continuous scene meshing too, eliminating the need for the room setup process and avoiding its problems. Details here: www.uploadvr.com/hauntify-wil...

FWA was good

Lasertag's developer implemented continuous scene meshing on Quest 3 & 3S, eliminating the need for the room setup process and avoiding its problems. Details here: www.uploadvr.com/developer-im...

scuffed live room meshing on Meta Quest 3. TSDF chunks + @keijiro.bsky.social's compute marching cubes package. still WIP, so mind the framerate :)

Post your space art

Has anyone built a Bluesky feed that’s like Discover but without all the liberal Gen Xer garbage? This is my average experience on Twitter vs. Bluesky. The post on the right is impossible to mute because there’s no alt text in the image and even if it did it doesn’t contain words I would mute.

Overdue Update on my upcoming Avatar Base! Fun and dynamic interactives such as a playable tail instrument and....other things >:D Had to clip some from the beginning and end cause I didn't know BlueSky's vid limit was a MINUTE GRRRR ♫ Terminal Retrospect by OSC ♫

Like always im feeling super duper motivated right after nfc to do arts and all kinds of things Now I just need some nice ideas...................

ARKit WorldAnchors fail ~98% of the time in unbounded outdoor use after traveling ~300 feet. To overcome this I've been testing mesh relocalization algorithms that handle partial overlaps. Results are very promising and should be very fast once ported to gpu compute kernels.

very very gradually piecing together a new portfolio website finally (and taking breaks from the boring stuff by setting up shader systems in it)

Every engine with a lightmapper NEEDS specular occlusion as a built-in feature. It’s cheap, uses existing textures and massively improves the quality of baked lighting with cubemap reflections.

Super janky Quest + Optitrack saber game. One player in a mocap suit ‘acting’ for the other player in VR

After learning of the sad passing of Viktor Antonov this weekend, we're republishing this interview with him from February 2019 to celebrate his life and work. bit.ly/4i1Q8kJ

not enough hours in the day

@strikervr.bsky.social gifted a pair of their Mavrik haptic blasters for integration into Lasertag. Here's some footage of my friends and I trying them out. They're a blast to use :) strikervr.com

adding lootcrates with rare hats cosmetics to lasertag

My new film is on youtube if you missed it! youtu.be/Gl2hTmgG18k

Using Quest’s system keyboard tracking for colocation (for when you’re on an intranet or shared anchors are being finicky)

did global game jam this weekend, and made a silly high score chaser about my cat climbing window blinds. thanks @pichuscute.bsky.social for the music it has an ~online leaderboard~ if you wanna give it a try rngpartygames.itch.io/ninth-life

Fun clip from recent test with friends

I wrote up the 25th anniversary of the unveiling of the Mac OS X Dock at Macworld Expo, from the perspective of a scared twenty-something engineer. It's me. I'm the engineer. tla.systems/blog/2025/01...

Working on room scan streaming for the Lasertag game: headsets build a shared heightmap of the playspace collaboratively in the background. Quest's depth estimation is only good up to ~5 meters, so this lets people fight at greater distances. I still have some work to do with the scan filtering :/
