It's the last day to vote for SXSW 2025 sessions. In addition to mine: lnkd.in/egi3FHYu see the 100+ XR proposals: lnkd.in/enTGutKW Fortunately it's not the only criteria, staff and advisors "help ensure that less well-known voices have as much of a chance".

We've been teasing the VR Multiplayer template for a hot minute now... This template is a labor of love by the XR Authoring team at Unity, and ties together XRI 3.0, with OpenXR and all of Unity's mp services (ngo, lobby, relay, vivox..) Well... it's here! Grab it on the hub

I'm giving the first talk at VRTO 2024 this week on the lessons learned (or not learned) from 10 years of demoing VR. If in Toronto, stop by to say hello and join in on the debate(s).

On June 5th, Anandala, my virtual reality world of intelligent artificial-life, will be released for home use on Steam! If you have a PC VR rig , I hope you’ll take the opportunity to get to know the friendly, curious, and expressive inhabitants of Anandala!

@augmentedcamel @pvncher I agree, it depends on the interaction but developers/designers shouldn't just accept the toolkit defaults for all interactions.

@augmentedcamel @pvncher I would argue that the pinch isn't intuitive and that the jury should still be out on what the common established gestures will be at this point in time. We still need custom gestures to allow innovation.

@Lunayian Hopefully more OEMs will follow suit, much easier at the OS level, but it should also get easier for app developers e.g. using input actions.

Last night the NYC chapter of #XRGuild featured local @MITRealityHack developers giving mini pitches and demos of the apps they made last month. As a mentor I pitched about my cross platform development tips I had shared at the hackathon. photos credit: @zaysunal

@SkarredGhost @MajorMcDoom Maybe not yet, I agree that "popular becomes standard" is a problem but developers should think outside of just prescribed gestures. Depending on the content, "teleporting while grabbing" can be bad even with controllers but reducing friction should always be the priority.

@InnerBushido @BranVR @EOZ_VR @Tundra_Labs @Thrilluwu @htcvive To clarify, the Vive trackers OpenXR extension for Steam (lighthouse) tracking is only implemented in Valve's OpenXR runtime.
