I was really rooting for Intel to finally get its act together and manufacture a reasonably competitive GPUs. Even though the Xe graphics architecture was a bit entry level, it at least seemed a nominal success. When Intel got AMD's Raja Koduri as the new GFX guy - I had hopes

Well Raja's out now ow.ly/H9cH50NEjlB Intel never seems able to spend more than a few years attempting to break into the GPU market. This is their third time and I don't have my hopes up for this one either. That and they are shutting down the Intel shuttle service ☹️

Wow - Epic is really going to revolutionize the way that MoCap data is captured/processed. See their MetaHuman/Real-Time Facial Animation Demo from their GDC presentation: This will really streamline things youtu.be/pnaKyc3mQVk

Those historical, last-ditch we-are-losing weapons, full of hope and desperation, were always amazing. Always loved the Nebelwerfer. Battlefield introduced me to the Fliegerfaust. But today I learned about the Einstossflammenwerfer 46.... Holy Hell!

I've watched a number of companies go off to design their own XR headsets - only to realize that it's a *really* challenging effort. There's a reason a lot of companies go for Qualcomm's XR chipset - not to mention that it comes with it's own OpenXR software stack and SDK.

Apple Delays AR Glasses, Plans Cheaper Mixed-Reality Headset - yes it's challenging - but given their track record I expect them to make a good go at it.

Interesting article on "Identifying Users by Their Hand Tracking Data in Augmented and Virtual Reality" had a small sample size but 95% accurate. Be interesting to see how this folds into other privacy concerns like eye and mouth (yes fer real) tracking ow.ly/JZU750Lb0F5

Disney Patents Virtual World Simulator that doesn’t require an HMD. But it seems pretty darn similar to the CAVE tech Carolina Cruz-Neira @cnntweet et. al. invented in '92. ow.ly/Ie9x50HoJfM

I'm surprised this hasn't made more of a splash
So six years ago ow.ly/lbSC50G9JcM I calculated that a XR "Retina" display would require 57ppd (pixels/degree). I see that Apple has plans for a 3000ppi (pixels/inch) XR display appleinsider.com/articles/21…. In a headset that's 57.67ppd.

Another point for OpenXR - support for this API will allow the rapid adoption of XR into the mainstream. Just like DX/OpenGL made GPUs ubiquitous, OpenXR will allow HMD manufacturers to focus on HW features and content developers to basically treat HW agnostically.

Between Cook and Zuck, CEO's of highly influential tech companies, both wanting to make AR a very successful consumer product, I feel pretty confident that they will succeed, and in a spectacular fashion. And yes that's horrible sentence structure :-P

Plus if you haven't gotten it already, Ray Tracing Gems I is also available for free download! Great resource!

A few years ago @Qualcomm decided to go all in on developing dedicated AR/VR hardware. The Oculus Quest is just the most successful of those. Just the first of many, many you'll see in the next year... here's an XR1 product

A hugely cool, detailed, and long article about the consolidation of the global glasses fashion and how the Italian fashion industry is working with high tech firms to create non-dorky AR glasses. Wonderful work by @chrisgrayson ow.ly/sXrL50FgmnG
