Ian Hamilton and David Heaney discuss Meta's CTO apologizing to Palmer Luckey, the end of Windows Mixed Reality, and much more.
The rollout of Windows 11 version 24H2 introduces a range of AI-powered features, such as enhanced Energy Saver, improved Bluetooth LE audio support, and Wi-Fi 7 compatibility. Notably, Microsoft has integrated Rust into the Windows kernel and introduced new functionalities for its CoPilot AI, which now includes natural voice interaction and daily news summarization. However, the update also marks the end of support for Windows Mixed Reality headsets, as Microsoft shifts its focus away from hardware in the mixed reality space.Host Dave Sobel highlights Microsoft's decision to cease production of the HoloLens 2 and its partnership with Meta, indicating a strategic pivot towards software integration with Meta's Quest headsets. This move reflects a broader trend in the tech industry, where companies are increasingly prioritizing AI-driven productivity tools. Sobel emphasizes the importance of data management for businesses looking to leverage these new AI capabilities effectively, suggesting that many customers may not be prepared to utilize these tools without a solid data foundation.The episode also covers OpenAI's introduction of a public beta for its Realtime API, which allows developers to create applications that facilitate natural conversations with AI chatbots. This new API supports low-latency, multimodal features, enhancing voice interactions and enabling seamless communication across languages. Additionally, Liquid AI has launched its Liquid Foundation Models, which are non-transformer AI models designed for improved performance and memory efficiency, potentially lowering infrastructure costs for clients running large-scale AI applications.Finally, Sobel discusses Kaseya's commitment to achieving FedRAMP authorization for its ITComplete platform, which aims to support managed service providers (MSPs) with compliance requirements. This initiative is particularly significant as it addresses the growing need for compliance in government contracts. The episode concludes with a call for IT solution providers to participate in Service Leadership's annual compensation survey, which aims to provide insights into compensation trends and help organizations optimize their recruitment strategies.

Yes, it's an episode recorded in the afternoon of Christmas Eve and not posted until the new year...the holidays were a thing. I'm going to be hosting at Awesome Games Done Quick 2024! However, my schedule changed since the 24th, so be sure to check the GDQ website for my name to get my updated times. Insomniac Games had a lot of data leaked about their games and their employees, and there's been some interesting takes from media outlets who gleefully posted leaks of other companies that are not posting leaks from this one. Microsoft is deprecating Windows Mixed Reality support and will remove it from future versions of Windows. Consumers will no longer be able to use their WMR headsets after November 1, 2026. I got the Atari 2600+, which plays the old cartridges, and tested it out with their 10-in-1 cartridge, the 4-in-1 paddle cartridge, the newly released Mr. Run and Jump, the updated Berzerk, ET, and Halo 2600. It performed well for being an emulator that dumps cartridge ROM's and takes the original controllers! Then we talk to Rob about the end of the year.

Как раз к праздникам Apple пришлось прекратить продажи часов, а Adobe не дали сходить за покупками. Microsoft сделали плохой подарок всем, отказавшись от Windows Mixed Reality. Tesla показали очередного робота, которого нельзя будет купить. Ну и журналисты снова пытались ответить на старый вопрос, так ли экологичны электромобили, как мы мечтаем.
Es ist wieder Weihnachten! Das vierte mal schon. Wow. Da müssen wir bei der Silvester-Folge aber so richtig kontemplativ werden. Bei der Aufnahme gar nicht wahrgenommen. Ganz entspannt fanden die 3M (bitte nich verklagen, lieber sponsorn) sich endlich wieder vereint ein, aber nicht um einen Jahresrückblick zu machen! Nein, davon habt ihr sicher die Podcatcher voll. Nein, wir machen etwas besonderes: eine völlig normale Folge, mit viel Ausschweifungen... ähm... Abschweifungen! Bald stehen schließlich die aufge-Super-ten RTX 4000 an, deshalb nochmal erinnert, damit ihr nicht vom Weihnachtsgeld überstürzt jetzt noch eine Grafikkarte kauft! Ansonsten ein paar Updates zu älteren Geschichten, leider auch Unangenehmes wie der Hack von Insomniac und viel zu viel Superhelden.

Our super-sized episode covers CES 2023 demos of headsets including the Vive XR Elite and Pimax Portal View.We also discuss Windows Mixed Reality growing on Steam with Reverb G2 discounts, Bigscreen co-watching with Disney & Amazon Prime, Meta ending Quest 1 Updates, Roblox rumored for Quest in 2023, Intel's latest Wifi chips, Quest 2's GPU performance boost.
We review the Quest Pro headset and deliver our first podcast recorded partially in Meta's high-end standalone. We also talk about Pico 4 Pro, HaptX G1 gloves, and the question of whether HP and Microsoft are done with Windows Mixed Reality.
In this episode of the Immersive Audio Podcast, Oliver Kadel, Monica Bolles and Bjørn Jacobsen are joined by a Principal Dev Leader at the Mixed Reality division at Microsft Noel Cross and Senior Principal Researcher at Microsoft Research Nikunj Raghuvanshi from Redmond, US. Nikunj likes to invent techniques that create immersive sight and sound from computation. He is endlessly fascinated with simulating the laws of physics in real-time and finds it thrilling to search for simple algorithms that unfold into complex physical behaviour. He has over a decade of research and development experience at the intersection of computational audio, graphics, and physics, with over fifty papers and patents. His inventions have been successfully deployed in the industry, particularly Project Acoustics, which is bringing immersive sound propagation to many major AAA game franchises today. Nikunj is currently a Senior Principal Researcher at Microsoft Research. Previously, he initiated interactive sound simulation research at UNC-Chapel Hill during his PhD studies, whose codebase was acquired by Microsoft. Noel grew up playing games on my Commodore 64 and Amiga computers. His love for multimedia computing helped him to start working at Microsoft as an intern in 1991 in the multimedia team. This was the age of the SoundBlaster 16 ISA cards and CD-ROMs were just being introduced into PCs. Out of the multimedia team, the DirectX team was born to accelerate the development of high-quality games for the PC. Noel worked on DirectSound and audio drivers for Windows getting a taste of the game development community attending several GDCs in the 90s. This was the first time he was introduced to 3D audio algorithms and at the time the technology didn't impress much. Through the 2000s, he worked on every release of Windows with the focus on improving the audio subsystem. This led to the complete overhaul of the audio infrastructure on the Windows Vista platform which has remained largely intact since introduced in 2006. The most current stop on his Microsoft journey is working on Mixed Reality devices. He worked on the speech and audio functionality exposed from HoloLens and Windows Mixed Reality devices with a concentration on spatial audio. After having lackluster impact in the 90s with spatial audio, he's been reinvigorated working on this technology with the introduction of high-quality HRTFs and head-tracking services to complete the experience. Spatial audio processing has also led Noel to better understand the impact of acoustics on virtual 3d worlds. His team is currently working on Project Acoustics which allows developers of 3d titles to take advantage of wave-based simulations to handle how audio propagates in the real world. In this episode, Nikunj and Noel dive deep into the topic of physics-based virtual acoustics along with Project Triton and Project Acoustics covering fundamental theory, research, technology and case studies. This episode was produced by Oliver Kadel and Emma Rees and included music by Rhythm Scott.

Mr. Glaser brought wit, whimsy, narrative and skilled drawing to commercial art at a time when advertising was dominated by the severe strictures of modernism on one hand and the cozy realism of magazines like The Saturday Evening Post on the other. His designs include the I Love New York logo, the psychedelic Bob Dylan poster, and the logos for DC Comics, Stony Brook University, and Brooklyn Brewery. In 1954, he also co-founded Push Pin Studios, co-founded New York magazine with Clay Felker, and established Milton Glaser, Inc. in 1974. His artwork has been featured in exhibits, and placed in permanent collections in many museums worldwide. “I NY,” his logo for a 1977 campaign to promote tourism in New York State, achieved even wider currency. Sketched on the back of an envelope with red crayon during a taxi ride, it was printed in black letters in a chubby typeface, with a cherry-red heart standing in for the word “love.” Almost immediately, the logo became an instantly recognized symbol of New York City, as recognizable as the Empire State Building or the Statue of Liberty. He died from stroke and renal failure in Manhattan, New York City.27 June 2020 – Charles Webb, Author of 'The Graduate' Novel, Dies at 81 - https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/charles-webb-dead-graduate-author-was-81-1300794Charles Webb, a lifelong non-conformist whose debut novel The Graduate was a deadpan satire of his college education and wealthy background adapted into the classic film of the same name, has passed away. Webb was only 24 when his most famous book was published, in 1963. The sparely written narrative was based closely on his years growing up comfortably in Southern California, his studies in history and literature at Williams College in Massachusetts and his disorienting return home. Webb's fictional counterpart, Benjamin Braddock, challenges the materialism of his parents, scorns the value of his schooling and has an affair with Mrs. Robinson, wife of his father's business partner and mother of the young woman with whom he falls in love, Elaine Robinson. His novel initially sold around 20,000 copies and was labeled a "fictional failure" by New York Times critic Orville Prescott. But it did appeal to Hollywood producer Lawrence Turman and the film company Embassy Pictures. The 1967 movie became a touchstone for the decade's rebellion even though Webb's story was set in an earlier era. Nichols' film, starring a then-little-known Dustin Hoffman as Braddock and Anne Bancroft as Mrs. Robinson, was an immediate sensation. Nichols won an Academy Award, Hoffman became an overnight star and the film is often ranked among the greatest, most quoted and talked about of all time. Webb's book went on to sell more than a 1 million copies, but he hardly benefited from the film, for which he received just $20,000. The script, much of it by Buck Henry, was so widely praised that few realized how faithful it was to Webb, including Benjamin's famous line, "Mrs. Robinson, you're trying to seduce me. Aren't you?" He died from a blood condition inEastbourne,East Sussex.29 June 2020 – Carl Reiner passes away at 80 - https://variety.com/2020/film/news/carl-reiner-dead-died-dick-van-dyke-1234694208/Carl Reiner, the writer, producer, director and actor who was part of Sid Caesar’s legendary team and went on to create “The Dick Van Dyke Show” and direct several hit films. Reiner, the father of filmmaker and activist Rob Reiner, was the winner of nine Emmy awards, including five for “The Dick Van Dyke Show.” Reiner remained in the public eye well into his 80s and 90s with roles in the popular “Ocean’s Eleven” trio of films and on TV with recurring roles on sitcoms “Two and a Half Men” and “Hot in Cleveland.” He also did voice work for shows including “Family Guy,” “American Dad,” “King of the Hill,” and “Bob’s Burgers.” Before creating CBS hit “The Dick Van Dyke Show,” on which he sometimes appeared, Reiner and “Show of Shows” writer Mel Brooks worked up an elongated skit in which Reiner played straight man-interviewer to Brooks’ “2000 Year Old Man”; a 1961 recording of the skit was an immediate hit and spawned several sequels, the last of which, 1998’s “The 2000 Year Old Man in the Year 2000,” won the pair a Grammy. he portrayed Saul Bloom in Ocean's Eleven, Steven Soderbergh's remake of 1960's Ocean's 11, and later reprised the role in Ocean's Twelve and Ocean's Thirteen. He died at the age from natural causes in Beverly Hills, California.30 June 2020 – Queensland university teams up with NASA to discover new planet the size of Neptune- https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-06-29/usq-nasa-discover-new-earth-sized-planet-a-mic-b/12398056- https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-020-2400-z.epdf?sharing_token=3JTENEuQF-T3APeZX4KxB9RgN0jAjWel9jnR3ZoTv0OtWNw2qcogQBYD10PdZhvxquqAqRChzO1nFKcfFtPKYHAUuZEWATQRM6h9tEKLylR11rM5M00uEqg6rHXXliKmS5mXQef56GLCRaooyb8BXkhcAIrlIx7_Nr2K-gZjizUMUcLFUaO80eRmm9mly099uTj6Gync7Hk-5dw0DGtLhcXtSIQcYAQT4mWbAxkmL5yyaVggBeZwOqhfwy06a8j2CY1WJyMSiFGHGoRGRYSGjqQPoVLcnVYYHq91fqiYaRh2p6hlMJYTKQxNJ4rwx5ud&tracking_referrer=www.abc.net.au Queensland researchers have helped NASA discover a new planet the size of Neptune, "only" 32 light-years away. NASA first spotted the planet two years ago and have been working to confirm its existence with researchers around the world, including a team at the Mount Kent observatory, south of Toowoomba. "It's only 32 light-years away, which means the light we see tonight left it in 1988," said University of Southern Queensland (USQ) astrophysicist, Jonti Horner. The planet, AU Mic b, was found orbiting the young star AU Microscopii (AU Mic), which was trillions of kilometres from Earth in the southern constellation Microscopium. Professor Horner said AU Mic b would not be suitable for people to live on due to its intense heat of more than 1,000 degrees Celsius. The infant planet was discovered by NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) and the recently retired Spitzer Space Telescope. These results were published in the journal Nature.Remembrances29 June 1855 – John Gorrie- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Gorrie- https://patents.google.com/patent/US8080John B. Gorrie, American physician, scientist, inventor of mechanical cooling, and humanitarian. Dr. Gorrie's medical research involved the study of tropical diseases. At the time the theory that bad air — mal-aria — caused diseases was a prevalent hypothesis and based on this theory, he urged draining the swamps and the cooling of sickrooms. For this he cooled rooms with ice in a basin suspended from the ceiling. Cool air, being heavier, flowed down across the patient and through an opening near the floor. Since it was necessary to transport ice by boat from the northern lakes, Gorrie experimented with making artificial ice. After 1845, gave up his medical practice to pursue refrigeration products. On May 6, 1851, Gorrie was granted Patent No. 8080 for a machine to make ice. The original model of this machine and the scientific articles he wrote are at the Smithsonian Institution. In 1835, patents for "Apparatus and means for producing ice and in cooling fluids" had been granted in England and Scotland to American-born inventor Jacob Perkins, who became known as "the father of the refrigerator". Another version of Gorrie's "cooling system" was used when President James A. Garfield was dying in 1881. Naval engineers built a box filled with cloths that had been soaked in melted ice water. Then by allowing hot air to blow on the cloths it decreased the room temperature by 20 degrees Fahrenheit. It required an enormous amount of ice to keep the room cooled continuously. Yet it was an important event in the history of air conditioning. It proved that Dr. Gorrie had the right idea, but was unable to capitalize on it.The first practical refrigeration system in 1854, patented in 1855, was built by James Harrison in Geelong, Australia. He died at the age of 52 in Apalachicola, Florida.29 June 1997 – William Hickey - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Hickey_(actor)William Edward Hickey, American actor. He is best known for his Academy Award-nominated role as Don Corrado Prizzi in the John Huston film Prizzi's Honor , as well as Uncle Lewis in National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation and the voice of Dr. Finklestein in Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas. His most important contribution to the arts, however, remains his teaching career at the HB Studio in Greenwich Village, founded by Hagen and Herbert Berghof. George Segal, Sandy Dennis, Barbra Streisand, and Sandra McClain all studied under him. He was a staple of Ben Bagley's New York musical revues, he can be heard on several of the recordings, notably Decline and fall of the entire world as seen through the eyes of Cole Porter. Hickey enjoyed a career in film, television and theater. In addition to his work as an actor, he was a respected teacher of the craft. Notable for his unique, gravelly voice and somewhat offbeat appearance, Hickey, in his later years, was often cast in "cantankerous-but-clever old man" roles. His characters, who sometimes exuded an underlying air of the macabre, usually had the last laugh over their more sprightly co-stars. He died fromemphysema andbronchitis at the age of 69 in New York City.29 June 2003 – Katherine Hepburn - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Katharine_HepburnKatharine Houghton Hepburn, American actress who was a leading lady in Hollywood for more than 60 years. She appeared in a range of genres, from screwball comedy to literary drama, and she received a record four Academy Awards for Lead Acting Performances, plus eight further nominations. In 1999, Hepburn was named by the American Film Institute the greatest female star of Classic Hollywood Cinema. She was known for her fierce independence and spirited personality. In the 1940s, she began a screen and romantic partnership with Spencer Tracy, which spanned 26 years and nine movies, although the romance with the married Tracy was hidden from the public. Hepburn challenged herself in the latter half of her life, as she tackledShakespearean stage productions and a range of literary roles. Hepburn famously shunned the Hollywood publicity machine, and refused to conform to society's expectations of women. She was outspoken, assertive, and athletic, and wore trousers before they were fashionable for women. She was briefly married as a young woman, but thereafter lived independently. With her unconventional lifestyle and the independent characters she brought to the screen, Hepburn epitomized the "modern woman" in the 20th-century United States, and is remembered as an important cultural figure. She died from cardiac arrest at the age of 96 in Fenwick, Connecticut.Famous Birthdays29 June 1793 – Josef Ressel - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Josef_ResselJoseph Ludwig Franz Ressel,Austrian forester and inventor of Czech-German descent, who designed one of the first working ship's propellers. He worked for the Austrian government as a forester in the more southern parts of the monarchy, including in Motovun,Istria (modern-day Croatia). His work was to secure a supply of quality wood for the Navy. He worked in Landstrass (Kostanjevica on the Krka river in Carniola in modern-day Slovenia), where he tested his ship propellers for the first time. In 1821 he was transferred to Trieste (modern-day Italy), the biggest port of the Austrian Empire, where his tests were successful. He was awarded a propeller patent in 1827. He modified a steam-powered boat Civetta by 1829 and test-drove it in the Trieste harbor at six knots before the steam conduits exploded. Because of this misfortune, the police banned further testing. The explosion was not caused by the tested propeller as many believed at the time. Besides having been called "the inventor of the propeller", he was also called the inventor of the steamship and a monument to him in a park in Vienna commemorates him as “the one and only inventor of the screw propeller and steam shipping”. He was also commemorated on Austria's 500 Schilling banknote in the mid 1960s (P139), which shows him on the front and the ship "Civetta" on the back. Among other Ressel's inventions are pneumatic post and ball and cylinder bearings. He was granted numerous patents during his life. He was born in Chrudim,Bohemia, Habsburg Monarchy.28 June 1818 – Angelo Secchi - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angelo_SecchiFr. Angelo Secchi, Italian astronomer by the italian region of Emilia. He was a pioneer in astronomical spectroscopy, and was one of the first scientists to state authoritatively that the Sun is a star. Secchi made contributions to many areas of astronomy. He discovered three comets, including Comet Secchi. He produced an exact map of the lunar crater Copernicus. He drew some of the first color illustrations of Mars and was the first to describe "channels" (canali in Italian) on the planetary surface.Secchi was especially interested in the Sun, which he observed continually throughout his career. He observed and made drawings of solar eruptions and sunspots, and compiled records of sunspot activity. In 1860 and 1870, he organized expeditions to observe solar eclipses. He proved that the solar corona and coronal prominences observed during a solar eclipse were part of the Sun, and not artifacts of the eclipse.However, his main area of interest was astronomical spectroscopy. He invented the heliospectrograph, star spectrograph, and telespectroscope. He showed that certain absorption lines in the spectrum of the Sun were caused by absorption in the Earth's atmosphere. Starting in 1863, he began collecting the spectra of stars, accumulating some 4,000 stellar spectrograms. Through analysis of this data, he discovered that the stars come in a limited number of distinct types and subtypes, which could be distinguished by their different spectral patterns. From this concept, he developed the first system of stellar classification: the five Secchi classes. While his system was superseded by the Harvard system, he still stands as discoverer of the principle of stellar classification, which is a fundamental element of astrophysics. His recognition of molecular bands of carbonradicals in the spectra of some stars made him the discoverer of carbon stars, which made one of his spectral classes. Secchi was active in oceanography, meteorology, and physics, as well as astronomy. He invented the Secchi disk, which is used to measure water transparency in oceans, lakes and fish farms. He studied the climate of Rome and invented a "Meteorograph" for the convenient recording of several categories of weather data. He also studied the aurora borealis, the effects of lightning, and the cause of hail. He organized the systematic monitoring of the Earth's magnetic field, and in 1858 established a Magnetic Observatory in Rome. Secchi also performed related technical works for the Papal government, such as overseeing placement of sundials and repair or installation of municipal water systems. In 1854–1855, he supervised an exact survey of the Appian Way in Rome. This survey was later used in the topographic mapping of Italy. He supervised construction of lighthouses for the ports of the Papal States. He was born in Reggio Emilia.29 June 1861 – William James Mayo - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_James_MayoPhysician and surgeon in the United States and one of the seven founders of the Mayo Clinic. He and his brother, Charles Horace Mayo, both joined their father's private medical practice in Rochester, Minnesota, US, after graduating from medical school in the 1880s. In 1919, that practice became the not-for-profit Mayo Clinic. On August 21, 1883, a tornado struck Rochester, killing 29 people and seriously injuring over 55 others. One-third of the town was destroyed, but young Will and his family escaped serious harm. The relief efforts began immediately with a temporary hospital being established at the town's dance hall. The Mayo brothers were extensively involved in treating the injured who were brought there for help. Mother Alfred Moes and the Sisters of Saint Francis were called in to act as nurses (despite the fact they had little if any medical experience). After the crisis had subsided, Mother Alfred Moes approached William Worrall Mayo about establishing a hospital in Rochester. In September 30, 1889, Saint Mary's Hospital opened. In September 1931, Mayo and other prominent individuals of the time were invited by The New York Times to make a prediction concerning the world in eighty years time in the future, in 2011. Mayo's prediction was that the life expectancy of developed countries would reach 70 years, compared to less than sixty years in 1931. “Contagious and infectious diseases have been largely overcome, and the average length of life of man has increased to fifty-eight years. The great causes of death in middle and later life are diseases of heart, blood vessels and kidneys, diseases of the nervous system, and cancer. The progress that is being made would suggest that within the measure of time for this forecast the average life time of civilized man would be raised to the biblical term of three-score and ten.” He was born in Le Sueur, Minnesota.29 June 1868 – George Ellery Hale - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Ellery_HaleAmerican solarastronomer, best known for his discovery of magnetic fields in sunspots, and as the leader or key figure in the planning or construction of several world-leading telescopes; namely, the 40-inch refracting telescope at Yerkes Observatory, 60-inch Hale reflecting telescope at Mount Wilson Observatory, 100-inch Hooker reflecting telescope at Mount Wilson, and the 200-inch Hale reflecting telescope at Palomar Observatory. He also played a key role in the foundation of theInternational Union for Cooperation in Solar Research and the National Research Council, and in developing the California Institute of Technology into a leading research university. In 1908, he used the Zeeman effect with a modified spectroheliograph to establish thatsunspots were magnetic. Subsequent work demonstrated a strong tendency for east-west alignment of magnetic polarities in sunspots, with mirror symmetry across the solar equator; and that the polarity in each hemisphere switched orientation from one sunspot cycle to the next. This systematic property of sunspot magnetic fields is now commonly referred to as the "Hale–Nicholson law," or in many cases simply "Hale's law." Hale spent a large portion of his career trying to find a way to image the solar corona without the benefit of a total solar eclipse, but this was not achieved until the work of Bernard Lyot. He was a prolific organizer who helped create a number of astronomical institutions, societies and journals. He was born in Chicago, Illinois.Events of Interest29 June 1613 – The Globe Theatre in London, built by William Shakespeare's playing company, the Lord Chamberlain's Men, burns to the ground. - https://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/the-globe-theater-burns-downThe Globe was built by Shakespeare’s acting company, the Lord Chamberlain’s Men, in 1599 from the timbers of London’s very first permanent theater, Burbage’s Theater, built in 1576. Before James Burbage built his theater, plays and dramatic performances were ad hoc affairs, performed on street corners and in the yards of inns. However, the Common Council of London, in 1574, started licensing theatrical pieces performed in inn yards within the city limits. To escape the restriction, actor James Burbage built his own theater on land he leased outside the city limits. When Burbage’s lease ran out, the Lord Chamberlain’s men moved the timbers to a new location and created the Globe. On 29 June 1613, the Globe Theatre went up in flames during a performance of Henry VIII. A theatrical cannon, set off during the performance, misfired, igniting the wooden beams and thatching. According to one of the few surviving documents of the event, no one was hurt except a man whose burning breeches were put out with a bottle of ale.29 June 1975 – Steve Wozniak tested his first prototype of Apple I computer. - https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smithsonian-institution/steve-wozniaks-apple-i-booted-up-tech-revolution-180958112/Apple I was the first computer from Apple. It was fully made by Steve Wozniak with little or no input from Steve Jobs. Apple I came without a keyboard, monitor and even an enclosing cabinet. It was basically a motherboard with chips. At the Homebrew Computer club in Palo Alto, California (in Silicon Valley), Steve Wozniak, a 26 year old employee of Hewlett-Packard and a long-time digital electronics hacker, had been wanting to build a computer of his own for a long time. It didn’t look like much—just a circuit board with 32 chips attached, connected to a video monitor and a keyboard. But when he turned it on? Magic. A cursor appeared on the screen—and better yet, it reacted instantly to whatever keys Wozniak pressed. “I typed a few keys on the keyboard and I was shocked!” he recalled in his memoir, iWoz. It was, he observed, the first time in history anyone had typed on a personal computer and seen the results “show up on their own computer’s screen right in front of them.” The sensation of success—he was looking at random numbers he had programmed—was “like getting a putt from 40 feet away.” The Apple I sold for only $666.66. (Wozniak picked the price because he liked repeating numbers; he had no clue about the satanic resonance.)IntroArtist – Goblins from MarsSong Title – Super Mario - Overworld Theme (GFM Trap Remix)Song Link -https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-GNMe6kF0j0&index=4&list=PLHmTsVREU3Ar1AJWkimkl6Pux3R5PB-QJFollow us onFacebook- Page - https://www.facebook.com/NerdsAmalgamated/- Group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/440485136816406/Twitter - https://twitter.com/NAmalgamatedSpotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/6Nux69rftdBeeEXwD8GXrSiTunes -https://itunes.apple.com/au/podcast/top-shelf-nerds/id1347661094RSS -http://www.thatsnotcanonproductions.com/topshelfnerdspodcast?format=rssInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/nerds_amalgamated/Email - Nerds.Amalgamated@gmail.comSupport via Podhero- https://podhero.com/podcast/449127/nerds-amalgamatedRate & Review us on Podchaser - https://www.podchaser.com/podcasts/nerds-amalgamated-623195

Danke! Abspeck-VR mit Sven Sven versucht seit gut zwei Monaten, mit VR-Sport abzuspecken. Uns verrät er exklusiv (!) sein Trainingsprogramm und was er damit erreicht hat. Spoiler: Die Pfunde sind noch nicht gepurzelt, aber er fühlt sich trotzdem fitter. Schadet die Hardware-Fragmentierung dem VR-Markt? HTC hat sein neues VR-Portfolio vorgestellt: Die Cosmos-Brille gibt's jetzt in vier Variationen, hinzu kommen die älteren Modelle wie Vive Pro oder Vive Pro Eye. Wer durchschaut das? Andere Hersteller sind da nicht eindeutiger: Pimax zum Beispiel hat zahlreiche Modelle am Markt, bei Windows Mixed Reality gibt's mehr VR-Brillen als Kunden. Selbst Oculus' Produktstrategie ist mit Oculus Go, Quest, Quest am PC und Rift S durchaus erklärungsbedürftig. Überfordert das Otto Normalverbraucher?

Happy New Year, daring explorers! The year is 2020, the onset of a brave new decade. The next ten years will undoubtedly create new waves in the way we interact with the world around us. In light of these exciting times, we felt it a fitting moment to try changing up our formula a bit. This time around, Michael Gourlay enters the fold and shares his musings on life, AR and the Metaverse (from a giant beanbag, in a bathrobe, and with a cocktail in hand). An early leader of the HoloLens and Windows Mixed Reality teams at Microsoft, once a general manager of the Altspace VR team, now actively developing future platforms for augmented reality, he brings a wealth of knowledge and insight to this episode. We go spelunking into so many things, from screaming frogs to the Cold War, to tongue gloves and the ultimate composition and texture of the 'Metaverse'. Together we explore the world through the lens of augmented reality, uncovering an aspirational vision of a future freed from the information confines of our screens. He was a wonderful guest to have on our show and helped inspire a continuous stream of lively conversation. By the end, the hour was late, and we had far more questions and thoughts than when we started. We raced through so many different topics and domains that we decided to split our recording with Mike into two episodes, so part two will pick up where we left off in our next bi-weekly release. After stepping back from part one of our convo with Mike today, we've revisited the highlights in hopes of adding some helpful context and commentary for you on the juicy bits. We hope you enjoy this special retrospective episode and look forward to your feedback and thoughts, so please reach out with your ideas! If you want to hear more from Mike, you can find him on Twitter @MiJaGourlay.
Pour cette nouvelle interview nous avons pu poser nos questions à Jean Mariotte, co-fondateur de SmartVR, devenue EVA pour le lancement d'une toute nouvelle expérience de réalité virtuelle. Qu'est qu'EVA ? Comment ça marche ? En quoi cela change tout ce que vous connaissiez de l'eSport jusqu'à présent ? Jean nous explique tout ! Bonne écoute !
Viveport's subscription service Viveport Infinity can now be accessed by Valve Index owners, a rollout that comes just months after the Index's original release this June. It's not an entirely unexpected move, especially since Valve and HTC have previously worked together on VR projects, and the Index itself is compatible with some physical HTC Vive gear already. The service grants subscribers access to a library of VR games, as well as occasional discounts on other Viveport purchases. It's an unlimited-access spin on HTC's earlier Viveport subscription service that launched earlier this year, and one that follows in the footsteps of programs like Microsoft's Xbox Game Pass and EA's Origin Access. In a press release, Viveport president Rikard Steiber notes that the move is one more step toward the company's goal of making Viveport a hardware-agnostic platform. So far, Viveport Infinity supports HTC's own HTC Vive headset, the Oculus Rift, Windows Mixed Reality, and Valve Index. #gaminglife #like #apexlegends #gamingmemes #anime #nintendoswitch #fortnitememes #pcgamer #retrogaming #gameplay #battleroyale #pro #destiny #art #bhfyp #blackops #fortniteclips #callofduty #twitchstreamer #geek #youtuber #lol #rdr #gamingcommunity #minecraft #overwatch #sony #fun #instagram #online --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/pixel-sultan/support

One zero one i think we should probably move on to something else i can do to distract hey guys what about the word of the week how but i forgot the suite you pick it this week while microsoft just released a beta version of microsoft s so let's go with my with add chocolate to them for long time what you mean is the beta version of you will talk about that later okay so as for those either playing the game every time i hear the word dead. I have a seventy average alright so who's the special date david is. Turn and what is that. [1:25] Five by five in binary five days after april third yes which is the release of the original at the race that the first phone call made on her cell phone, forty six years and five days ago today and it was made by a gentlemen worked at motorola, what was the name is name is cooper coupe or agent cooper yeah and he made a phone call hoodie call david, adblock to call bell hey guess what i'm doing yet you called bell labs he was a martin cooper standing, new york hilton on six avenue and email to call to the head of research labs company has also attempting to make the world's first cell phone it is screw robin hawk, yeah that's a good for him no make new rules for a cell phone calls quite impressive what would you like some price of is, how was first telephone why not call.

[3:27] Yeah we're gonna figure out what to get my expectations up there by no will you can help me take CS to do anything really feeling michelle ball is dead i want to speak with this idea that some suggested friend and i don't know anything i don't have a picture of taking the first buy it and talking and taking the last buy in md play come away from the plate and feed the crew, let's turn on the display okay so i, we've got before we go any further we got a feature of the week we don't always feature that we don't even have a sound bite feature the week need to work on that, start anna know we don't play with cortana anymore but feature of the week yes how windows ten disconnects USB storage device. So this is for people who are obsessive compulsive but disconnecting the devices manually will this break up, the air is what they called performance mode or other. [4:34] Quick quick probably distracted by something time but just what i do is what you do however that actually can be crafted by there has had that happen. Rhino, so quick mode that's what's the most you moving to if i can move anytime but data can be collected also performance status of right now the default is performance mode means cashing, its prefect training and using other resources try to give you a faster experience however if you remove it, things me happy when did this get to the cashed. Have driver profile do not switching it so that it the default is, quick move because most people don't do the safe act like ion ee how many tasks u saying that really changed how i operate search engines the default thats correct what most people don't change default now if you want to hear power three can go in and change that, sure, yeah i need extra speed or if it's a device that i got a external usb drive here that i have connected it's connected almost all the time so i leave at on performance rather than on. Remove anything else. [5:50] New story of the week are we have lots and lots of news this week we've been broken up into. God. What's up what's the date again add and lots of engineers since april eighth five days and forty. Microsoft has released a beta and with chromium what is that mean what might explain this to, this message is. Well anybody that are less yes i would say basic with the combination of edge and chrome, so the red dancing the part underneath. Underneath the menus and the tabs all that will be it's actually not necessarily chrome itll be but chromium chromium open source and, google is the biggest contributor to the base the chrome browser on the chrome and rendering engine however it's not exactly the same. How much to explain this to someone who doesn't feel attacked. [7:04] Lol well they know that you had to load chrome and i guess i'll just call, and the spartan was not as compatible with websites, roman reason for that it wasn't is commonly sold developers atlanta test on web browser, what is the test on lgmr one thing contest on chrome anything a test on to, and wasn't the number two browser either so the world testing on that other testing in safari there testing another and eventually made test on edge and want to report a problem right now and weather not edge what is the problem, dim the day people using it had issues and i have all kinds of issues using edge to connect to microsoft, what does this mean for the average is it doing today what ever to stop playing the want you to use edge close chrome. [8:04] Currently movie re load it with respect to system or they can use and anyone even care people that work voting ends with navy values as the default browser because can use the same rendering engine but the will be able to integrate with microsoft and any services still be able to integrate with being more cats by default the search engine ads because i think, here is a couple things at edge not the beta that were using today but that def leave. [8:35] The previous version of ge still does better than previous email to current groceries in touch much better than brett it also thinking much better than trump. Does indian could a few things that does excel at any of microsoft can bring that as well as other things to it uh, that's a plus what does that mean those things those features well then slow through chrome. Perhaps it microsoft microsoft makes a party of kobe or not depends on how the owl and how other people adopted this to three other things, add supports streaming in four k. [9:22] From it anything or just from netflix i want to contact the kodak based issue is when the cortex the jesus vs the code that chrome is so right now it's browser goes just really browser able to stream netflix in four k, i think. Remind us know what actions podcast this could be a serious problem for some for listeners that often will pick up where did the week and then looks like. Rights of microsoft spent the time with this the other thing today is i added a chrome extension so it felt when you load the data, we'll link would like to get everyone around it you go to the microsoft store to get your extensions. You can also go to the chrome web store and load chrome extensions i did that today that worked very nicely. [10:15] Another little bit a news about microsoft and chrome es file explorer version of explorers going to support multiple tabs each withdrawl process much the same way chrome does. [10:32] So you can copy multiple files at the same time searching multiple locations all copies to eat with red. Alright so that's it for engineers what was inside you get anything you will talk about. What is the your phone app you can now if you have the exact charger i can dial to marry nephew android phone on your desktop, so i've been using the your phone app but with mixed results doesn't like having it repaired to two different laptops no no no light from phone laptop, add but nevertheless it doesn't seem to be a bit more stable now that one of the options option to select your photos option to do text messages from here, from your laptop and then option three would be actually to see the screen and electronics but people are so used to people sitting at the desk to three hundred for really large monitors and the ivory over the phone. Does the fact that you can actually get the phone right on your screen will i do that all the time i sent you text messages or your phone app then i said to some i can type much faster they use that somehow still having trouble typing on my galaxy s ten right steven adopted two yeah is quite that works OK. Efficiency of people actually once would use that she can access facebook on your phone so you think works not looking at it. [12:01] Right ugh more insider been prescribed for me yeah more insider news. [12:13] So this is for home based small business usage right were talking but here yeah i wasn't everybody but yes so it starts with nineteen h one hundred nineteen, first off it still what is the building still nineteen oh three beds one to b two as the may twenty nineteen update right, turn light of course in binary will not save it the same bill that was released in march just going to more testing right before its available so. Features are will the ability to delay, so first cumulative updates you can delay seven eight seven to thirty five days and home you just got to thirty five days that's right thirty five days and then eventually build delayed the build. So skip over nineteen eighty one. Right and you don't have to infor about this long as it is supported i'm not really a fan of that. Pens umm if you are using eighteen nine in las vegas. You maybe a fan of it sure sure i can you know there are some people have some of that doesn't work in their system are the some hardware doesn't work in they don't upgrade for eighteen months and then hopefully by then you'll be working. [13:35] Ok so can be a big demand for people other than corporate not want food, no i think it's more just people always complains of one less thing for them to clean about and get on with it, so it's been a wider not moving windows ten asus it was just another reason that the user to not gonna understand will talk more but then later suggested that you're here, nothing lol people a lot of people complaining local small businesses that they don't have the manpower etc will talk more but i just wanted to get actually just pop up and say do you want to sell this like yes or no, supposed to be on we want to review computer.

What's up yeah exactly i want to talk about microsoft releasing over the last month or so all kinds of new firmware for the surface pro five six six four surface laptop for surface laptop two for surface studio and surface go, can we talk about it is what organizations and individuals never paid. Where is jesse when i got my wife's laptop that was, incredibly behind on most everything you think it will be automatically updated why is that what you think that. Because i looked at the screen that what's up what did you do that shit says one update right but firmware update are really important for compatibility but also for security and performance for sustainability, so why don't people do it. [16:48] The freight difference there free well that's good news then but that individuals but what about enterprises to have your DOS and does it stop when will be good. [16:59] Because. I want to do with the hard way to be less insecure than i spend more time doing what is the ability last performance is compatibility and security do, so many organizations so many organizations would just be better than just automatically update everything and just know no control, all the fancy prom theme so you show notes i listed all the different from your upgrades that are available just in the last month, okay also added a link to something else am surface enterprise management just stares of tools, set you can control the firmware, as well as upgraded with another vendor similar to sunday abdel does he does but these tools to automate wide scale updates from where and control c. yeah true we is or SEM continue to receive ssi i don't want to do that so yeah so has other tools powershell script all sorts of things but for those of you that complaint it's too difficult and not worth the effort microsoft and make it easier for you.

Für den VRODOCAST #110 haben wir uns Unterstützung gesucht. Außerdem streiten wir zur Frage, was die zweite Generation VR bringen muss. VR-Filmfestival in Venedig VRODO-Gastautorin Pola Weiß war auf den Filmfestspielen von Venedig unterwegs. Mit dem deutschen Sinn für Gründlichkeit hat sie sich dort sage und schreibe über 30 VR-Erfahrungen angesehen, viele davon mit längerer Spieldauer. Im Podcast berichtet Pola über die Stimmung vor Ort, die Entwicklung in der VR-Filmbranche - die sie in ihrem Blog VR-Geschichten begleitet - und ihre favorisierten Filme und Installationen. Wann startet VR 2.0? In den kommenden Monaten wird es neue VR-Brillen geben: Der chinesische Hersteller Pimax rüstet sein Gerät mit Super-Sichtfeld und hoch aufgelösten Displays aus. Oculus wird mit der autarken VR-Brille Santa Cruz den nächsten Angriff auf den Massenmarkt unternehmen. StarVR bringt eine Ultra-Highend-Brille mit genialen Spezifikationen für die Industrie auf den Markt. Und wer weiß, womöglich stößt noch der ein oder andere Hersteller hinzu, von dem wir jetzt noch nichts ahnen - LG oder Samsung sind mögliche Kandidaten, die sich im Dunstkreis von SteamVR, Daydream und Windows Mixed Reality bewegen. Jetzt stellt sich die Frage: Was definiert denn eine Next-Gen-VR-Brille? Reicht schon eine höhere Auflösung und ein weites Sichtfeld? Braucht es weitere Technologien wie Eyetracking? Oder sind für die nächste Generation VR womöglich gar nicht die harten technischen Spezifikationen ausschlaggebend, sondern Nutzungskomfort, Preis, Verbreitung oder Software? Je nach Zielgruppe und Anspruch verschieben sich die Prioritäten, bemerken wir in unsere Diskussion. Mehr zum VRODO-Podcast: https://vrodo.de/podcast/

In Folge 107 des VRODO-Podcasts tauchen wir gemeinsam zum Wrack der Titanic und berichten, was wir dabei gefühlt haben - oder auch nicht. Außerdem gibt es VR-Neuigkeiten von der IFA. VR-Stadt Hypatia öffnet die Tore Es kann gar nicht genug Social-VR-Welten geben, denken sich offenbar die Macher der virtuellen Stadt Hypatia. Die Anwendung soll zukünftig mit Altspace VR oder Rec Room in Konkurrenz treten. Hat sie das Zeug dazu? Tobias und Tomislav sind in Hypatia herumgestreunert und schildern ihre ersten Eindrücke. Mehr dazu: https://vrodo.de/oculus-rift-htc-vive-erste-virtuelle-stadt-hypatia-oeffnet-ihre-tore/ Titanic VR Nach der virtuellen Mondreise in "Apollo 11" bringt das auf VR-Lernen spezialisierte Studio Immersive VR Education die zweite Virtual-Reality-Bildungsreise an den Start: In Titanic VR erlebt man den Untergang des Kreuzfahrtschiffes nach und kann anschließend gediegen zu dessen Wrack hinabtauchen. Während Tomislav und Sven Tränchen in den Augen hatten, ließ Matthias die VR-Erfahrung völlig kalt. Woher kommt diese emotionale Diskrepanz? Ist Matthias gefühllos und kalt? Sind Tomislav und Sven zu nahe am Wasser gebaut? Und hat eigentlich überhaupt jemand was gelernt? Weil darum ging es ja, oder? Wir sprechen drüber. Mehr dazu: https://vrodo.de/oculus-rift-htc-vive-geschichte-einmal-anders-titanic-vr-im-test/ Acer VR-Brille Ojo Microsofts Windows Mixed Reality sendet auf IFA 2018 ein Lebenszeichen, aber anders als gedacht: Auf der IFA enthüllte Acer die VR-Brille Ojo 500. Sie setzt auf Windows Mixed Reality in der Standardkonfiguration mit zusätzlichen Lautsprechern und erstmals einem IPD-Regler. Neu ist außerdem, dass die Brille komplett auseinandergebaut werden kann. Wer braucht das? Mehr dazu: https://vrodo.de/ifa-2018-acer-enthuellt-starvr-brille-und-ojo-500-fuer-windows-mixed-reality/

Im VRODOCAST #72 geht's um Christians rapide ansteigendes Körpergewicht und die wichtigsten Virtual- und Augmented-Reality-Ereignisse in 2017. Die wichtigsten VR-Ereignisse in 2017 Was ging ab in 2017 mit Virtual Reality? Passiert ist eine Menge, aber der entscheidende Schritt nach vorne gelang der Branche noch nicht. Die wichtigste Neuigkeit des Jahres war wohl Microsofts Start in die Virtual Reality mit Windows Mixed Reality - gute Ansätze, insgesamt aber noch etwas halbherzig. Ähnlich signifikant waren die Preissenkungen für sämtliche Highend-VR-Brillen, vorneweg für Oculus Rift. Innerhalb weniger Wochen senkte Facebook den Preis um unfassbare 450 Euro, nur um die Technologie in die Masse zu bringen. Auch das dritte VR-Highlight gehört Facebook: Das Unternehmen brachte die Social-App Spaces auf den Markt und mit ihr einen Ausblick auf das Telepräsenz-Telefon der Zukunft. Außerdem erneuerte Facebook-Chef Zuckerberg sein Vertrauen in die Technologie: Eine Milliarde Menschen will er in Virtual Reality bringen. Mehr dazu: https://vrodo.de/virtual-reality-2017-das-waren-die-drei-wichtigsten-ereignisse/ Die wichtigsten AR-Ereignisse in 2017 Auch nach 2017 warten wir weiter auf eine fortschrittliche Augmented-Reality-Brille: Meta liefert erst nicht und enttäuscht technisch, um Hololens wurde es erstaunlich ruhig und Magic Leap vermeldete erst kurz vor Jahresfrist Neuigkeiten. Ein einzelner Journalist bekam unter sehr kontrollierten Bedingungen kurze Demos zu sehen, über die er dann berichten durfte. Außerdem wurden einige Hochglanzbilder eines möglichen Designs der Brille gezeigt. Die wichtigste Erkenntnis bei der Nummer: Magic Leap verbessert das enge Sichtfeld von Hololens, aber behebt das Problem nicht. Der Smartphone-Killer für die Nase lässt also noch auf sich warten. Und dann war da noch Smartphone-AR. Mehr dazu: https://vrodo.de/augmented-reality-2017-das-waren-die-drei-wichtigsten-ereignisse/

Over the next two episodes, the Windows Insider podcast explores all things mixed reality. In part 1, we chat with the Hololens team about design elements in Windows Mixed Reality and how developers can get started creating immersive experiences. We also hear how virtual reality enhances social life and creates community with people from all over the world. Find out more about Windows Mixed Reality here: https://aka.ms/MoreInfo_WindowsMixedReality Episode transcript ALEX KIPMAN (from video): Now we're standing together at the threshold of the next revolution of computing. Now, the thing that excites me about this revolution is that computers will empower us to renegotiate our very contract with reality, giving us the capability to transcend time, space, and devices In this revolution we will immerse ourselves in virtual worlds of our choosing, and we'll be able to accomplish impossible things. And we'll be able to do all of this while creating lasting memories with the people that we love Our very sense of reality is set to be transformed as we enter this new era of computing, the era of mixed reality JASON HOWARD: That's Alex Kipman, Technical Fellow here at Microsoft, delivering the keynote at a recent event where he unveiled the company's vision for mixed reality And as you can tell from that clip, his vision is a bold one. Microsoft's plan for mixed reality is nothing short of transforming the way people interact with the physical and digital worlds But let's back up for a second. What is mixed reality, and what will it enable us to do? Welcome to the Windows Insider Podcast where we explore all things Windows, the Insider community, and beyond I'm your host, Jason Howard. You're listening to Episode 10, the first of a two-part series where we'll explore mixed reality Microsoft has been a pioneer in mixed reality, also known as MR, starting with the groundbreaking launch of HoloLens in 2015. The HoloLens is the world's first untethered holographic computer that enables people to have experiences that blend both the physical and digital worlds To learn about recent developments in MR I've invited a couple experts from the HoloLens team to the podcast today BECKY HARUYAMA: My name is Becky Haruyama, and I am a Principal Designer for the Windows Mixed Reality Engineering Team. And what I've been focusing on most recently is the customer experience in the physical Microsoft stores where people who are going out and looking at what is this Windows Mixed Reality, we have design and experience for them to kind of better understand why they should invest in this KATHERINE HARRIS: Yeah, and I'm Kat Harris. I am also on the Windows design team, but I am a developer and I work mainly with our open source toolkits that we provide to developers to help them really dive into working with our headsets, and making very high quality, cool, new experiences and new tools for their companies or bringing their ideas to life JASON HOWARD: So Becky, let me ask you, what is your definition of mixed reality? BECKY HARUYAMA: So we are familiar with the physical world. We live in it every day. It's made out of atoms. It's things that you can touch. And then there is this digital world that is made out of pixels. And mixed reality is the blending of those two realities together And so while that is still really abstract, if you start thinking about augmented reality and virtual reality, those are actually under the spectrum, the umbrella term of mixed reality So augmented reality is when you have digital artifacts in your physical world, so you can see your environment, you can move around inside of it, and there are digital artifacts that are around. And there's different kind of fidelities of that And then of course on the virtual reality side your environment is completely digital. And there's not really like a hard edge line, it's more of a blending of people, places, and things. And so you could have a fully digital person in a fully physical location or physical place. And so it's really like Alex Kipman talks about this dial, the mixer, that kind of mixes people, places, and things between augmented reality and virtual reality. So there is no boundary between the two, it's really a mixture of those three characteristics under the umbrella of mixed reality JASON HOWARD: So Kat, your work is focused on enabling developers to create mixed reality experiences. What are some inspiring things you've seen people do with this new technology KATHERINE HARRIS: A lot of different things. What's great about mixed reality is that it's kind of an open platform for a bunch of different industries to kind of jump into. You have the medical industry, you have education, you have training people. And it's this new exploratory like medium of giving content to people and kind of training their brains or delivering that content in a different way that they've never really experienced before And so we're enabling developers now to create new experiences that we would have never realized ourselves. Just being in the tech industry we're kind of in our own little bubble. But getting to share this technology with a bunch of different people allows them to create some really cool things I met a woman last week actually who was working in robotics, and she was using the HoloLens to control multiple robots and like control where it was going. And I was asking her, like, oh, that's so amazing. She's like, yeah, what would be really cool eventually is to be able to have a counterpart application in immersive reality, and have the headsets where people could experience like what the robot was experiencing perhaps. And that way you have one person controlling it with the HoloLens, and another person experiencing what the robot is experiencing JASON HOWARD: Wow KATHERINE HARRIS: Yeah, exactly. I was like, oh my gosh, that's so cool, I want -- I want that application now BECKY HARUYAMA: Tell him about what that event was KATHERINE HARRIS: Oh yeah. So last week, we had an event with women in VR. We invited a bunch of women creators who had HoloLens out in the field in LA, New York, Paris, and had them all come in for a two-day workshop to kind of introduce them to the new headsets, as well as showcase their awesome HoloLens applications So there was about nine or ten different applications that people were showing off. One of them was a museum application called HoloStoria where museums could use it, and you can have 3D assets, place them around your museum, scale them up, add 2D information to also display to the user. And you didn't need to know anything about programming to use it. So you could give it to curators and stuff, and they could just easily go around and create their museum add-ons or extensions to their physical locations And a couple other fun ones, there was one where you defend kittens from aliens attacking. So that's more on the gaming side One person was using AI to train a dragon. Think of a Tamagotchi, but with a dragon that could interact with your physical world. So it knew where walls were, it knew where the ground was, it could fly and burrow and avoid stuff, and you could interact with it, give it commands We also had like art installations where you could see a stage and interact with your friends and see this art installation come to life Muralize is a very popular application where you take your Instagram feed or any Instagram photo and put it on a wall, pin it there, and then you can actually have paints and stuff and paint the wall with the headset on, so you can see your art. So it's helping artists create in a new way that I would have never been able to come up with BECKY HARUYAMA: And this whole thing was kind of identifying people out in the wild who are creating amazing things on HoloLens, and then the effort was helping them kind of port these experiences over to Windows Mixed Reality immersive headsets, just to kind of enable them to have broader reach JASON HOWARD: So it sounds like developers obviously they have their hands on this, they are doing great things already. What are some of the key things that, Kat, you and your team are doing to enable developers to have a good experience in this space KATHERINE HARRIS: Yeah, there's a bunch of things that we're trying to do to meet developers where they are So we have a repository on GitHub called the Holo Toolkit. And it's a toolkit of assets and scripts that developers can use with the engine Unity. It's a game engine to use simulations or create 3D environments. And using those scripts and the toolkit they can easily get started with the basic foundations of how do you do spatial mapping, how would one do like hand gesture for tapping or gaze. And so the scripts are already given to them JASON HOWARD: Let's talk about some of the design elements in Windows Mixed Reality. Becky, can you tell us about the considerations you and your team had during development BECKY HARUYAMA: We really wanted to make sure that we had content that would be interesting to people who are gamers, people who are not gamers, men and women, different ages. And so we had that as a goal And then we were also looking at the Cliff House, which is our kind of, quote/unquote, "home" in mixed reality. It's the environment that you cruise around when you're inside the headset. And we looked at the design of the quote/unquote "architecture," and there are different spaces in the Cliff House And so we looked at what we call these different psychological fields or what are the things that you do in these different types of rooms or these different kind of locations. So we have a back patio. It's really beautiful. It's very relaxing. You're looking out over Mt. Rainier. You can go outside and there's birds chirping. So the psychological field for that is relax and dream And then we have a studio which is more your typical kind of office studio space. And that's more for creativity and productivity And then we have the deck which overlooks the water. There are these floating islands. We like to have a little bit of fantasy in with our reality. And that one's more aspirational. It's more like what's next for me. I'm about to decide what I'm going to do with my life. And so that room is learn and discover And then we have the theatre, which is this really amazing, huge space that is where you have your games and your movies and it's more about like escaping and playing So we kind of had that as our organizing principles for the way we wanted the demo to unfold. We looked at what content we needed in each of those locations to kind of ensure that we would have an experience that would really resonate with a wide group of people JASON HOWARD: Can you tell us a little bit about the history of the Cliff House and why is that the first place you land in the Windows Mixed Reality world? BECKY HARUYAMA: So one of the things that I think is really interesting when we talk about mixed reality is realizing that on our desktop our 2D screen when you go to the Start Menu, like that's kind of your center of gravity, like that's how you go back to it, it's how you move around, and that is kind of kind of the paradigm that we use So when you think about transitioning into a spatial analogy, and it's actually the thing that we're most familiar with in the world. Like we were born and we move around in the world, and it is a spatial interface, it is a spatial environment So when you think about what is a home, it's something that everyone can relate to, hopefully, that it is this place that is kind of central to who you are and to what you do. And architects and space planners really leverage these constructs that we're familiar with around what situation am I going to do in this room and in this room and in this room, and then you design kind of a place around it So having it be a home really seemed to make the most sense, because we wanted it to be familiar, and we infused some like fantasy into it, like I mentioned before with the floating islands. So it really is like this aspirational, amazing place that we wanted people to instantly understand how to move around within it But it's not your normal home. Like there are no doors, there are no windows. You can hop up onto the roof, which is my favorite place to go KATHERINE HARRIS: Same BECKY HARUYAMA: Yeah, it's so fun. It's got the best view And so it just seemed to make the most sense We weren't going to do like a forest. Ah, I'm lost in the forest, you know, or like you're on a beach. Well, okay, that's fine, but we wanted it to have a certain level of utility. We wanted it to be a place that was comfortable, and we wanted it to be neutral enough in the sense so that you could personalize it in the way which you organize all the things that matter the most to you, the apps that you like the most And it was actually inspired by a really beautiful modern house that was built in the 1950s, I believe, it was the Farnsworth House. If you look it up online, it's this really beautiful, kind of super simple, streamlined house, had a lot of glass, really simple lines. And the architect built it for his client to kind of support her hobbies, which were playing violin, reading poetry, and looking at nature. And so it was this really amazing kind of inside-out space that when everyone looks at this picture, it's like, oh, I really want to live there, that's like the most amazing house. And so that was a lot of the inspiration for the Cliff House And we picked the external environment to be inspired by our beautiful Northwest, and that's why we have Mt. Rainer there also JASON HOWARD: Nice. I actually didn't know that about the history. That's kind of cool that it's based off of an actual house that exists BECKY HARUYAMA: Yeah, well, a lot of architecture is this really interesting -- you know, you look for inspiration, and then you kind of apply it to the goals that you're trying to facilitate I mean, I think the most important thing is we wanted people to be able to identify with it, and to then make it their own. And so that was one of our main goals JASON HOWARD: So to the point of personalization and making Cliff House your own, right, do either of you have your own Cliff House that you've designed and customized and - KATHERINE HARRIS: Oh yeah, yeah. Becky, you go first BECKY HARUYAMA: Yeah, okay. So I have spent a ton of time in the headset kind of creating my own environment. And my favorite thing was when I put up the photos app, and put my own personal photos in, so it turned into like a slideshow. And so I'm hanging out in there, and I'm doing my self-hosting and kind of figuring out how we were going to create the demo for the retail stores. But then there's my family right there with me. And then we had kind of an internal contest of who could like make the craziest Cliff House. And some of the other designers made these amazing -- like they take the holograms and they would like make -- I don't know, there was like a hundred flamingos or monkeys, I don't remember what it was, or they'd like take the shopping bag and make it huge, or, you know, it's really fun, because there's a lot of scalability. You can play with the scale of things in a way that you can't do in the quote/unquote "real world." And so like playing with the holograms, and then putting your apps in the way that you want to, and like what's on the roof and -- okay, Kat, you go KATHERINE HARRIS: My favorite thing is to make the Netflix app as big as possible, so I have like an 80-foot screen BECKY HARUYAMA: Is that on the roof KATHERINE HARRIS: No. So there's like the media room, right? Well, there's a button on the side of the media room where it's just like a wooden room, but then when you hit that button, it turns into outer space. Or like not outer space, like the stars JASON HOWARD: Okay KATHERINE HARRIS: And it's beautiful. And I just like watching my new Netflix shows, and then seeing this beautiful skyline. And then it's like Netflix but then it's all my other media as well. I have a bunch of 360 video apps on the side, and then I have a bunch of games on the roof of the house, so I'll just pop up to the roof, and it's like 360, just all my favorite games. And then, of course, I use my holograms to like make it my own. So I have like a little dog hologram, a little cat hologram, just lots of pets and animals. Since I don't own any, I can have hologram ones JASON HOWARD: And no mess to clean up KATHERINE HARRIS: And no mess to clean up. I don't have to like feed them and stuff or forget to feed them, because that's why I don't have a pet, because I would -- they would die. I've killed a cactus. Never mind. That's another story JASON HOWARD: If you're ready to see the Cliff House for yourself, just go to a Microsoft Store for a free demo. You'll also be able to check out the different immersive headsets that are available now. I've tried it, and it's a ton of fun. Not to mention the fact that I scored Spartan the first time I played the new Halo mixed reality edition. Another exciting development in MR is the opportunity for socializing. This immersive technology can give you the chance to meet people from all over the world, attend live events in far off lands, and play interactive games Here to tell us more about the social side of MR is Katie Kelly from AltSpaceVR, one of the leading social platforms for virtual reality So AltSpaceVR provides an environment for people to meet up in virtual reality. Why is it important to have social spaces in VR KATIE KELLY: I think the better question is, why is it important to have social spaces in general. And I think in virtual reality having a place where you can hang out with other people is just a natural evolution of where we are with communication technology So you have Skype and you have videoconferencing and you have a phone, and we've gotten really tethered to these devices where you are only communicating through speech or looking directly at somebody on a Skype call. But you miss out on those things that we do when we're watching TV together, those natural interactions that you have when you're doing something together So what we think is that VR is the natural evolution of communication, is that you are going to have shared experiences with each other instead of being tethered by just your voice or through eye contact on a videoconference JASON HOWARD: So can you describe a little more what it's like being there in virtual reality just hanging out KATIE KELLY: Sure. When you go into AltSpaceVR, you don't know what you're exactly going to get, but our biggest goal is to get you to laugh, hopefully in the first five minutes So you can come into AltSpaceVR and you will first probably pop into our campfire. It's our communal space where there are people hanging out, and we have marshmallows and we have a forest landscape and a roaring fire, and that's where people go to hang out And so when you go in and there's going to be somebody there, they'll probably say hi, and you'll say hi back, and then you'll realize that you are talking from inside your headset, probably in your living room, hopefully with clothes on, to a random person that might be in Norway or might be in Sweden or might be in California or somewhere in the states, and then you just start talking And if you don't just start that conversation, we have lots of things for you to do to start to encourage those interactions. Our main goal is to get you to meet somebody new, and to have a good time, and hopefully make a friend And so we have games that you can play, we have dungeons and dragons, and we have chess, and we have Cards Against Humanity is our most popular, of course JASON HOWARD: That's a fun game KATIE KELLY: It's called Holograms Against Humanity in AltSpaceVR And you can go explore different environments. We have a full Mayan maze that will take you 20 minutes to get through, and you'll make some interesting friends along the way We have a disc golf course, and mostly we have events. We're really known for our events. You can come in at any point and see a community calendar of all the events that will be happening throughout the day or the week. And it spans the gamut from meetups to comedy shows to news broadcasts to live streams, our rocket launches. We do a live stream of SpaceX rocket launches. Those are some of our most popular live streams Because we've found that people want to experience these pulse moments together with other people. So what's a better way of doing that than putting on your headset, you're alone in your room in maybe rural Nebraska, and all of a sudden you're in a room watching something really cool with a bunch of people that could potentially be new friends JASON HOWARD: So as an individual, the experience, I put on my headset, and, you know, I get logged in, so to speak, right? What do I see of other people? Am I seeing actual images of them? Can they upload photos of themselves? Is it just like a representation, is it some sort of avatar KATIE KELLY: So right now you're an avatar. And we have a range of different avatars that you can customize, mostly with different colors for different robot avatars, and then we have a male and a female avatar with a couple different clothing styles, different races, different hair colors. And so that's where we are right now with our avatar system. And so when you go into a room, you see a bunch of other avatars But what's interesting, if you haven't tried VR, is it's really hard to explain how present you actually feel with other people. My father has a Gear VR that I got him years ago when I first started at AltSpace so that we could experience what it was like hanging out with somebody you knew in VR. And he's always a white avatar with red stripes, with his hands behind his back. But after probably, I don't know, 15 minutes, I completely just associated that avatar as my father. At one point, he switched avatars, and I was like, no, dad, you've got to back, now you're just in a different body. You were you when you were that avatar And we found that across the board that people really start to identify with the avatar that they are, and when I got into AltSpace and I see my friends there now, now that I have friends in VR, which is really strange to say, I recognize people based on their avatar. I'm like, Lea, hey, how's it going, and Peroxide, how's it going, so nice to see you in your red avatar JASON HOWARD: So it sounds like people from around the world are participating and joining in and getting together. Can you tell us a little bit about the people that are participating? Do you have any information about like the diversity of users kind of around the world KATIE KELLY: So our events are a testing ground for us to try a lot of things to see what people are going to like in VR. So we do a lot of things. I have done the first yoga class in virtual reality. I have held the first meditation meetup with our amazing previous community manager, Lisa Kotecki. And we've just tried to supply a lot of different things to see what people like to do And so one idea was to do meetups, and they've become really successful. So I did an LGBT meetup, and we had a good couple hundred people show up, and we talked about what it was like being gay around the world One guy was from South Africa talking about being gay down there. A couple in Australia was talking about fighting for gay rights. A man in Turkey was talking about having to prove that he was gay, because he couldn't join the military because he was gay, but they didn't believe him And then you had a girl in rural Nebraska that was 16, and she couldn't actually say the word gay because her family could hear her, because she was still in her family's house. So she messaged, she wrote a little text message to one of my coworkers that was in the space I was in. You have to use your imagination a little bit, but you feel like you're in an actual space with other people And he messaged me and said, "Hey, there's this girl here that wants to talk and tell us her experience, but she can't say the word gay. What do we do? And so I asked her, I said, what's something you just love to talk about? And she said chocolate. I said, okay, every time you want to say the word gay, say the word chocolate She told us about the first time she ever ate chocolate, who she liked to share her chocolate with, all the different kinds of chocolate that she liked. And then three weeks later, she came out to her family, because she felt like she had her community in VR that she saw once a week, and she didn't feel as different as she had felt before And those stories are happening over and over again, but those kind of moments where you wouldn't be able to find your community out in your neighborhood, you can now put on a headset and potentially find it from anybody around the world JASON HOWARD: That seems like it takes away some of that isolation, and so that you can connect with other people that are going through whatever particular experience they may be seeing or feeling or thoughts or topics or anything really KATIE KELLY: Exactly. Another example, we partnered with NBC last year to do a virtual democracy plaza. So we did a recreation of Rockefeller Plaza in VR that you could wander around, go to the ice rink. And then they brought in some of their amazing talent, Al Roker, Chuck Todd, Steve Kornacki, to do live newscasts in VR But what they also did was they brought in live streams the presidential debates into VR. So we did all four of them. And this sounds like it could go wrong in so many ways, right? Like you're inviting a very polarized nation and world to come hang out in virtual reality and watch this live together. But what we found was that people in general when they felt like they were really there with other people, they talked, they communicated. They weren't leaving mean messages on YouTube, they were actually having a conversation with somebody. So even while they disagreed, they were talking The first day after the elections, results came in, I held a casual gathering in VR asking people to talk about their thoughts. And we had Republicans, we had Democrats, we had people from outside the U.S. talking. And after about an hour, my heart felt so much better, because the main thing that people kept saying is, hey, we're in this together And I took off my headset after that moment and felt like I had gotten out of my echo chamber that I see on so many other social media accounts, and felt like, okay, I had connected with the people that I didn't necessarily know or have a face to, and I felt like we got each other. And that's what I've found in AltSpaceVR all the time JASON HOWARD: So that's interesting that you put it that way, because when you don't have some of that personal connection, you end up with a lot of what you see in social media, be it Twitter or Facebook or wherever, where when you don't know the person and it's just a flat 2D image and it's a wall of text that you're scrolling through, it's easy to sit behind your keyboard and type something that you may not necessarily say or not say it the same way if you were face-to-face with somebody or if you were in a group of people And it sounds like having this extra layer of feeling like you're there, even though you may not physically be there, it kind of takes that down and kind of resets people back to a moment of, hey, I'm actually talking to other people instead of just adding to a wall of text KATIE KELLY: Definitely. And I think what's important, too, is to acknowledge the work that the AltSpaceVR community has also done to make it a really welcoming place. I don't think it's just you're in VR now, you feel like a better person. I think we've worked, one, really hard to make sure that we are really welcoming to a diverse group of people. So we have live in VR customer support all the time. We have our community support representatives that are always there in the campfire, a living, breathing person in VR. I can't say that enough, because we're probably the first people to have that always there. And they are our first person that you talk to, first person to kind of intro you to the product if you have any questions going on. But also if you have any troubles, if any problems are arising, you can go and talk to a real person and say, hey, I'm having this issue And then on top of that we've put in some really amazing tools so that you feel like you have control over your environment. So if I am talking to you and your mic is really loud or maybe you're saying something I don't want to hear, I can mute you. And then that mutes you for the rest of the experience until I unmute you. I can also block you if I don't want to see you anymore. That will remove you from my experience, and will remove me from your experience. And then also when you block somebody, too, you can report like why did I block this person. And then you have the live 24-hour support. But then you also have a space bubble. And this one's really important I think just in VR because it's really easy for an avatar to get so close to you that you feel they're actually invading your personal space. It feels really uncomfortable. And so automatically when you come into AltSpaceVR, you have a space bubble around you that if somebody gets too close they disappear and their handle disappears. And then if you want to get closer, like if you have a couple friends, people love like cheek kisses in AltSpaceVR and fist bumps and hugs. There's this one woman, Clair, that lives in London. She's in AltSpaceVR a lot. And every time I see her like she wants to give me a hug. And I get so excited, I'm like, Clair, and we hug, and it feels like I'm getting a real hug by this woman from around the world So you should have that control, too, to be able to have those more intimate moments when you want, but if you don't, you have some tools at your disposal so you can take care of yourself JASON HOWARD: So earlier, you mentioned the concept of an echo chamber. And a lot of times that gets associated with like political thoughts and things like that. But if you expand upon it a little bit, you get to the whole like your social bubble of like the things you surround yourself with, right, the spaces you choose to participate in So how are you like creating inclusive experiences for all kinds of people? It sounds like you're already taking steps down that path KATIE KELLY: I think our events is where we start. So you can think of an event almost as the easiest way to create VR content, especially if you're not a developer. And also we should talk later, too, about all the developer tools we have. But specifically with events if you are just a random person, again maybe living in rural Nebraska, not to pick on rural Nebraska, but you can go into VR, set up an event, and you automatically have a way to talk to a lot of different people. And our community has been creating most of the events that we've had, especially the last couple months. And those have included things like book clubs and poetry meetups and writing workshops for NaNoWriMo last month. And we've had yoga classes and meditation and talent shows, talk shows. Talk shows have become really popular where you kind of have the original feeling of YouTube. You have these people that recognize the power of the platform, and they were basically unknown before, but now they're creating a presence in VR This amazing woman, Vivian, if you ever come into VR, you'll see her show. And she comes on, and she just puts together this amazing show where she'll have games and trivia and invite people from the audience to come and participate But we're creating a new medium, and it's really fascinating. And what that goes back to when it comes to diversity is that our events aren't games, they aren't attracting just a gamer audience that usually skews male. We're attracting a wide range of people because we aren't a game, we're an experience So if you come into AltSpaceVR and you want to go to an event, you might go to a meditation event or there's actually a slumber party I think on Monday night. And women and men are welcome, but it's run by a bunch of women that wanted to have an event where they could connect with other women and watch movies and TV and just hang out So that's what makes me really excited about the diversity possibility of VR is that AltSpaceVR is showing that there's a lot of people out there that want to experience VR. They just don't necessarily know where to go, and AltSpaceVR seems to be a great place for them to start JASON HOWARD: Yeah. So having this type of space, and I know we touched on a moment about ago about muting and blocking people, things like that, right? And as we mentioned before, on traditional social platforms there's the whole concept of trolling and annoying people and people that are out to in essence create an unwelcoming environment or they try to take over conversations, things like that, right? Have you seen this as a problem in AltSpaceVR as of now? Do you expect it to be a problem into the future KATIE KELLY: It's a problem in VR in general. It's a problem in real life in general So one thing that my team spends a lot of time thinking about is how do we try to address those problems as soon as possible, and give users the chance to address it themselves, which is why our mute and our block and our bubble are so important, and why are in-VR 24/7 support is really important So what we found, one, when you come into social VR I do think you're more likely to feel like you are around real people. So I think it makes it a little bit harder to cause as much grief as maybe some other social platforms, because you want to fit in. You feel like there's a little bit of a culture that you're joining, and you want to be a part of it But if you don't and you want to cause havoc, you'll figure out ways to. So we want to make sure that when that happens, we can remove that person as soon as possible or at least have the users have the tools they need to remove them from their own experience JASON HOWARD: So there's obviously some guidelines in place as for if there's a person who's continually disruptive or creating an unwelcoming environment, things of that nature, that there are consequences to those actions KATIE KELLY: Yeah, we have a list of community standards that are very important to us that include everything from respecting other people and being inclusive, but also being mindful that we are inviting people from around the world to be in this space together, so we need to work together to make sure that everybody feels welcome and kind of know the rules JASON HOWARD: So in the opening, right, you mentioned that AltSpaceVR had been acquired by Microsoft. What was that like? Like how did that happen KATIE KELLY: It has been a roller coaster I think for our team the last couple of months, but it's also been really exciting, especially where we ended up. We thought we were closing down in June, and we closed up shop and left AltSpaceVR running. We're able to keep everything there. We actually had a goodbye party planned that our users - JASON HOWARD: Wait, wait, wait, wait, like closing as in closing the doors, ending the service potentially? Like, ow, okay KATIE KELLY: Yeah, we got to a point where that was unfortunately the reality kind of where we were at. And we had a goodbye party planned, and a bunch of our users showed up. And it was really heart-wrenching. But people on my team just kept fighting for the service, and telling people like why this mattered. And then we connected with the Microsoft team, and they saw why it mattered, and they really grew passionate about what we created, and lo and behold, we were acquired by Microsoft JASON HOWARD: Wow. That's a good thing, right? I mean, with the good work that you're doing, and obviously the plans that you have for the future, it's nice that the doors didn't get closed. But anytime there's an acquisition, things seem to change a bit. How do you see this particular acquisition changing the direction of the company KATIE KELLY: The thing that I've loved the most that I've heard from the team that we now work with at Microsoft over and over again is that they want AltSpaceVR to stay AltSpaceVR, and that they in a lot of ways are coming to us and our team to kind of find out about like what we did right, and what we've learned for now So in a lot of ways we feel really respected as a team, and really excited about the potential to use the resources, the massive amount of resources that Microsoft has to improve the experience in AltSpaceVR, grow our community, make more exciting events and experiences, and yeah, just grow this thing that we like passionately spent like the last couple years working on JASON HOWARD: So you mentioned earlier developer tools as part of this platform. Do you want to highlight on that a little bit KATIE KELLY: AltSpaceVR's SDK community is a bunch of really creative, really scrappy people that with three.js and A-frame can build their own experiences and environments in AltSpaceVR You can go to AltVR.com and check out our developer community and join our Slack, and you'll basically be introduced to a lot of people that are just doing some of the coolest stuff in VR that I've ever seen So in AltSpaceVR now you can go and you can check out a desert environment that somebody made with a tiki bar. This amazing woman Faye made a karaoke room with posters that she designed all over the walls, and rainbow wallpaper and rainbow floors So basically, you can kind of let your creativity go wild, and using our SDK make your own VR experiences JASON HOWARD: So are there any community imposed limitations on what they can create? Like is there any content that's, for lack of a better word, almost forbidden or not welcome KATIE KELLY: We think about ourselves really similar to I think how we think about the Internet. So a space in AltSpaceVR is really similar to a web page. And we think that people should be able to make whatever web content they want and bring it into AltSpaceVR That doesn't mean we're going to allow our general community to go and see it. So you always have to go through at least one step to have your content on our listed events page. But you will have a URL that you can share with your friends. So if you make a room that you're really excited about, and just want to share it with your community, by all means. And you also have the chance to have private events and private spaces, and you can make it friends only So there's a lot of different ways that you can kind of customize like who you want to share your content with, but we are going to be following our community standards and our guidelines for anything that the general community is going to see JASON HOWARD: So as part of those standards are there age limitations, anything that need to be thought of before somebody potentially tries to join the community KATIE KELLY: AltSpaceVR is 13 and over. And then we have content that we will put warnings on the banner of the tile image on the event page that will tell you whether it's appropriate for 17-plus or more for adults We are a community for adults, and we have some amazing like 13 to 17 year olds in general, but in general when you come to AltSpaceVR you're going to feel like you're around other adults, and it's something that we tried to make the community really awesome for that JASON HOWARD: So we've talked a lot about the social aspect and people interacting, but more to the broad picture like what do you think the future of social VR experience is? KATIE KELLY: The future of social VR I think is really up to the imagination of what people can make there. I do think that VR in general is going to be social, no matter what, in some capacity. And so I think that the future is just becoming a place where anybody can go meet, interact, share content, do cool events, go do other VR experiences, but eventually you're going to want to do it with your friends and the people that you know. So we think that the future of VR is social, to say it so bluntly JASON HOWARD: Well, I've got my mom on Facebook, so maybe I can send her a headset and get her to come join one of these types of spaces at some point KATIE KELLY: You should. It's really fun JASON HOWARD: So just as a quick reminder, how can the listeners join the AltSpaceVR community KATIE KELLY: You can join AltSpaceVR by going to AltVR.com or go to any store on your Oculus headset, on your Samsung Gear, on your Daydream, or through Google Play, and you can look up AltSpaceVR and download us for whatever platform you have. And if you have a mixed reality headset, you can go to the Steam VR Bridge and find AltSpaceVR and download that. And we really hope to see you in VR sometime JASON HOWARD: The acquisition of AltSpaceVR is just one of the ways Microsoft is working on a catalog of immersive experiences. From games to travel to videos, there are so many ways MR can enhance our work and social lives We're going to continue exploring the subject of mixed reality in January's episode.

In Episode #67 des VRODO-Podcasts streiten wir über den Sinn und Unsinn von Microsofts VR-Startumgebung für Windows Mixed Reality, grübeln über eine permanent lauschende Künstliche Intelligenz und analysieren die Übernahme von Vrvana durch Apple. Cliff House für Windows Mixed Reality - notwendiger Übergang oder völliger Unsinn? Wer sich das erste Mal eine Windows VR-Brille aufsetzt, wird in Microsofts Mixed-Reality-Startumgebung Cliff House transportiert. Das ist eine virtuelle Villa, deren Wände mit den vom herkömmlichen Windows-Desktop bekannten 2D-App-Fenstern verziert sind. An einer Wand hängt Skype, an einer weiteren der Edge-Browser und an noch einer der Zugang zum Microsoft Store. Um zwischen den Anwendungen zu wechseln, muss man sich durch das Haus bewegen. Die Interaktion mit den Fenstern klappt am besten mit Maus und Tastatur. Wir diskutieren, ob die VR-Villa Sinn ergibt oder eine Sackgasse ist. Windows Mixed Reality Test: https://vrodo.de/windows-mixed-reality-im-test-besser-als-oculus-rift-und-htc-vive/ Künstliche Intelligenz soll permanent mithören Das Unternehmen AISense bietet ab nächstem Jahr ein KI-System an, das bei Videokonferenzen das gesprochene Wort aufzeichnet, transkribiert und Aussagen einzelnen Personen zuweist. Mündlich geführte Unterhaltungen sollen dadurch so einfach durchsuchbar sein wie ein E-Mail-Verlauf, niemand müsste mehr Protokoll führen. Die langfristige Vision von AISense: Die Software soll außerhalb des Büros zum Einsatz und im Alltag der Menschen ankommen. Wir sprechen über Potenziale eines solchen Systems und mögliche Risiken. AISense hört mit: https://vrodo.de/13-mio-us-dollar-fuer-ein-ki-system-das-alle-unterhaltungen-protokolliert/] Apple kauft Vrvana Laut einem Bericht kaufte Apple für 30 Millionen US-Dollar das kanadische Mixed-Reality-Unternehmen Vrvana auf, das bereits seit 2005 Brillen-Prototypen erforscht und baut. Die Geräte bieten tatsächlich richtige Mixed Reality und können nahtlos zwischen Augmented und Virtual Reality umschalten. Die Außenwelt wird über integrierte Kameras per Video in die ansonsten geschlossene Brille projiziert und kann dort mit digitalen Elementen angereicht werden. Wir spekulieren, warum Apple das Unternehmen aufgekauft haben könnte. Apple kauft Vrvana: https://vrodo.de/apple-kauft-mixed-reality-startup-vrvana/]
Im VRODO-Podcast Episode #66 gibt es einen Ersteindruck zu Windows Mixed Reality mit SteamVR, dem Drahtlosadapter TPCast für HTC Vive und demnächst Oculus Rift sowie HTCs neuer VR-Brille Vive Focus. Steam VR für Windows Mixed Reality Seit dem 15. November gibt es SteamVR für Windows Mixed Reality. Das löst das dringendste Problem der WMR-Brillen, nämlich die fehlende Software. Der Ersteindruck ist gut: Die Bedienung von Steam geht wie mit HTC Vive und Oculus Rift gewohnt flüssig von der Hand und die getesteten Apps liefen ohne Probleme. Mit einer Einschränkung: Die Erfassung der 3D-Controller ist nicht so präzise und verlässlich wie das Outside-In-Tracking von Rift und Vive. Wir suchen nach dem Kaufgrund für eine WMR-Brille. Kurztest SteamVR für WMR: https://vrodo.de/windows-mixed-reality-kurztest-der-steamvr-beta/ TPCast für HTC Vive Der Drahtlosadapter TPCast für HTC Vive – eine Rift-Version soll in den kommenden Wochen vorgestellt werden – macht genau das, was er verspricht: Er befreit die VR-Brille ohne spürbare Qualitätseinbußen vom Kabel. Der Aufbau ist leider umständlich, ebenso ist das Gerät mit einem Preis von 350 Euro sehr teuer – aber das Gefühl, die Kabel los zu sein, wertet das VR-Erlebnis enorm auf. TPCast für HTC Vive im Test: https://vrodo.de/tpcast-fuer-htc-vive-im-test-wie-gut-ist-die-eu-version/ Vive Focus Mitte November machte HTC endlich die autarke VR-Brille offiziell, die schon im Mai erstmals angedeutet wurde. Die Überraschung: Damals wurde das Gerät noch als Daydream-Projekt gemeinsam mit Google angekündigt. Diese Partnerschaft hat sich zerschlagen, stattdessen macht HTC jetzt einen Alleingang auf dem chinesischen Markt und ab dem nächsten Jahr voraussichtlich im Westen. Wir sprechen über die möglichen Gründe für diese Entscheidung und das Marktpotenzial der autarken Focus-Brille. Vive Focus vorgestellt: https://vrodo.de/virtual-reality-htc-kuendigt-autarke-vr-brille-htc-focus-an/ Erster Kurztest von Vive Focus: https://vrodo.de/vive-focus-erstes-hands-on-der-autarken-vr-brille/ Vive Daydream ist abgesagt: https://vrodo.de/abgesagt-htc-bringt-keine-autarke-virtual-reality-brille-mit-google/
Missouris Justiz ermittelt gegen Google Nach massivem Ärger mit Wettbewerbshütern in Europa muss sich Google auch entsprechenden Untersuchungen in den USA stellen. Der Staatsanwalt des Bundesstaates Missouri, Josh Hawley, will unter anderem der Frage nachgehen, ob der Internet-Konzern in Suchergebnissen eigene Dienste zum Nachteil der Konkurrenz bevorzugt habe. Außerdem gehe es um das Sammeln von Nutzerdaten und die Nutzung von Informationen anderer Websites. Hawley wies darauf hin, dass Google vermutlich auf 70 Prozent aller Kartentransaktionen Zugriff habe. Vermeintlicher Erpressungstrojaner-Ausbruch gibt Rätsel auf Seit ein paar Tagen untersuchen Sicherheitsforscher den Erpressungstrojaner Ordinypt, der es anscheinend auf deutsche Firmen abgesehen hat. Statt die Daten seiner Opfer zu verschlüsseln, löscht er sie einfach und verlangt dann trotzdem Lösegeld. Der Trojaner ist in Delphi verfasst, eine Programmiersprache, die heutzutage nicht mehr besonders oft anzutreffen ist. Auffällig ist auch, dass es bisher so gut wie keine Meldungen über Ausbrüche in freier Wildbahn gibt. Windows-VR im Vergleichstest Mit Acer, Dell, HP und Lenovo bringen die ersten Hersteller Brillen für Windows Mixed Reality auf den Markt. Während sie in puncto Software künftig gleichermaßen von Steam VR profitieren, offenbaren sich bei der Hardware kleine, aber feine Unterschiede. So taten sich im c't-Test vor allem die leichten Modelle von Lenovo und Medion hervor, unter anderem weil sie kein Restlicht beim Tragen durchlassen. Nougat überholt Jelly Bean & Kitkat In der monatlichen Android-Statistik ist vom aktuellen Android 8 Oreo wenig zu sehen, und Android 7 Nougat schiebt sich gerade mal vom vierten auf den dritten Platz. Das am meisten verbreitete Android bleibt Version 6 Marshmallow. Diese und alle weiteren aktuellen Nachrichten finden sie auf heise.de
Diese Woche dreht sich in c't uplink alles direkt oder indirekt um Spiele. Martin Fischer beantwortet unsere Fragen zu Grafikkarten: Die Bandbreite reicht vom Onboard-Chip bis zur Highend-Gamer-Karte. Wir diskutieren zusammen mit Hartmut Gieselmann die Vor- und Nachteile von Spielekonsolen. Was bringt die neue Xbox One X? Und ist die eingebaute 1 Terabyte-Platte nicht viel zu klein? Zum Abschluss erklärt uns Jan-Keno Janssen , ob Microsofts Windows Mixed Reality (MR) mit Oculus Rift, HTC Vive und PSVR mithalten kann. Die Brillen für Windows MR kommen von Acer, Dell, Lenovo und einigen anderen Herstellern und haben sogar eine Art virtuellen Windows-Desktop. Natürlich kann man auch VR-Spiele zocken - laut Keno sogar sehr gut.

Der VRODOCAST #62 erscheint in dieser Woche besonders früh. Weshalb? Ganz einfach: wir haben wie gute Unternehmer an der Effizienzschraube gedreht, einen Mitarbeiter freigestellt und den anderen durch Künstliche Intelligenz ersetzt. Jetzt produzieren wir 85 Prozent schneller. Läuft bei uns. Ach, Themen gibt es auch: Den Marktstart von Windows Mixed Reality und die erneute Megainvestition in Magic Leap. Windows-Mixed-Reality-Launch Stell Dir vor, es ist der größte VR-Hardware-Launch in der Geschichte der Virtual Reality – und besonders spannend ist er dennoch nicht. Dafür gibt’s einen einfachen Grund: Zwar bringt Microsoft in den kommenden Wochen mit beinahe einem Dutzend Hersteller durchaus brauchbare VR-Brillen auf den Markt. Aber die Software hat der Software-Konzern dabei leider vergessen. Zwar wird dieses Versehen voraussichtlich mit der angekündigten Steam-VR-Unterstützung bis Jahresende nachgezogen, aber längst sind nicht alle Fragen hinsichtlich der Kompatibilität beantwortet. Trotz Marktstart ist also weiter abwarten angesagt. Alle Fakten zu Windows Mixed Reality: https://vrodo.de/windows-mixed-reality-die-wichtigsten-fakten-im-ueberblick/ Kennst Du eine, kennst Du (fast) alle Hinzu kommt, dass die VR-Brillen technisch alle identisch sind und abgesehen vom Inside-Out-Tracking - das durchaus ein Zugewinn ist –wenig Innovation bieten. Die interessanteste Windows-VR-Brille kommt von Samsung und erscheint leider vorerst nicht in Europa. Das ist schade, da das Samsung-Modell Oculus Rift und HTC Vive in puncto Sichtfeldweite Paroli bieten kann und wohl die erste Wahl für Spieler sein würde. Hier hinken die anderen Windows-Brillen deutlich hinterher, das ist der größte und ein deutlich spürbarer Nachteil der Geräte. Daher ändert sich trotz massenhaft neuer VR-Brillen vorerst nicht viel am Status Quo: Spieler und Tech-Enthusiasten, die sich an externem Trackingzubehör nicht stören, sind mit Oculus Rift, HTC Vive und Playstation VR wie gehabt besser bedient. Im Podcast sprechen wir über unsere Eindrücke zum Mixed-Reality-Launch. Samsung Odyssey nicht in Europa: https://vrodo.de/windows-mixed-reality-die-wichtigsten-fakten-im-ueberblick/ Noch mehr Geld für Magic Leap Das Mixed-Reality-Startup Magic Leap hat zwar noch immer kein Produkt am Start, aber konnte bei Investoren dennoch erneut groß absahnen: 502 Millionen US-Dollar fließen in die Entwicklung des propagierten Smartphone-Killers, unter anderem legten Google und Alibaba nach. Da sich das Unternehmen nicht konkret zur eigenen Strategie äußert, überlegen wir, was man überhaupt realistisch von der ersten Magic-Leap-Brille erwarten kann - und was wir uns wünschen würden. Pokémon Go, zum Beispiel? Pokémon Go für Magic Leap: https://vrodo.de/pokemon-go-chef-magic-leap-in-einem-jahr-pokemon-port-moeglich/ Investition über 502 Millionen US-Dollar: https://vrodo.de/offiziell-magic-leap-erhaelt-investition-ueber-502-millionen-us-dollar/
Bundestag soll sich zu starkem Datenschutz bekennen Zum ersten Mal überreichen alle 18 deutschen Datenschutzbehörden dem frisch gewählten Bundestag einen Katalog mit handlungsorientierten Grundforderungen. Darin fordern sie eine Korrektur der jüngsten Gesetzgebung und ein Bekenntnis zu starkem Datenschutz. Hintergrund ist der Gesetzesmarathon in den Monaten vor den Bundestagswahlen, in dem viele, aus Datenschutzperspektive grenzwertige Vorhaben verabschiedet wurden. So sei unter anderem die Vorratsdaten-speicherung in all ihren Varianten auf den Prüfstand zu stellen. Erste Hersteller-Updates schließen WPA2-Lücke Nach dem Bekanntwerden der auf den Namen KRACK getauften Schwachstelle im Sicherheitsstandard WPA2 haben einige Hersteller Patches für ihre Produkte veröffentlicht. Sie beheben damit den Designfehler im vier Schritte umfassenden Handshake, der das Mitlesen und die Manipulation WPA2-verschlüsselten Traffics ermöglichte. Angesichts der Vielzahl von No-Name-Herstellern und -Geräten, die WPA2 implementieren, werden viele Geräte aber wohl niemals gepatcht werden. Windows Mixed Reality überzeugt im Kurztest Die erste Windows-Mixed-Reality-Brille ist im Testlabor der c’t eingetroffen und die Redakteure sind ziemlich angetan: Die Installation funktioniert einfach, das Mittendrin-Gefühl stimmt, die 38 Titel zum Start sind ordentlich. Ein paar Kritikpunkte gab es jedoch: Obwohl zwei Hand-Controller im 450 Euro teuren Paket lagen, konnten man diese nicht auf Anhieb verwenden. Man benötigt einen Bluetooth-Dongle – und der wird unverständlicherweise nicht mitgeliefert. Mit Google Maps das Sonnensystem erforschen Google hat in den hauseigenen Kartendienst Maps mehrere Planeten, Monde und Zwergplaneten unseres Sonnensystems integriert. Direkt im Browser können Nutzer nun von der Erde zum Merkur, dem Titan oder Pluto springen und die Himmelskörper erkunden. Diese und alle weiteren aktuellen Nachrichten finden sie auf heise.de
In Episode #60 des VRODOCASTs, dem Podcast über die Zukunft der Computer, sprechen wir über das Potenzial von Samsungs Odyssey VR-Brille und darüber, dass Virtual Reality beim Pixel-Event kaum mehr eine Rolle spielte. Samsung Odyssey: Highend-VR-Brille für Windows Mixed Reality Am 3. Oktober stellten Microsoft und Samsung gemeinsam die erste Ultra-VR-Brille für Windows Mixed Reality vor. Das Gerät bietet mit 1.440 x 1.600 Pixeln pro Auge die derzeit höchste Auflösung am Markt, noch dazu übertrumpft sie mit OLED-Displays die LCD-Screens der Windows-Konkurrenz. Die ersten Tester sind sich einig: Wenn man eine VR-Brille für Windows Mixed Reality kauft, dann soll es die von Samsung sein. Der etwas höhere Preis wird durch die hochwertigen Displays, das integrierte Mikrofon und die fest verbauten Kopfhörer mehr als aufgewogen. Von dieser nicht ganz unwichtigen Erkenntnis einmal abgesehen, stellt sich allerdings noch eine viel grundlegendere Frage: Sollte man überhaupt eine Windows-VR-Brille kaufen? An welche Zielgruppe richten sich die Geräte eigentlich? Gamer scheinen mit Oculus Rift und HTC Vive aufgrund der garantierten Kompatibilität der angeschlossenen Software-Ökosysteme noch immer besser bedient zu sein, insbesondere da die WMR-Brillen nach der Konvertierung in Europreise kaum mehr günstiger sind. Und Nicht-Spieler? Die haben schlicht und ergreifend derzeit keinen Grund – sprich Inhalt – um in VR zu investieren. Bleibt zu hoffen, dass Microsoft seine Strategie für Windows Mixed Reality wirklich sehr langfristig angelegt hat, denn es wird dauern. Erste Eindrücke zu Odyssey: https://vrodo.de/windows-mixed-reality-erste-eindruecke-zu-samsungs-vr-brille-odyssey/ Alle Fakten zu WMR: https://vrodo.de/windows-mixed-reality-die-wichtigsten-fakten-im-ueberblick/ Googles Pixel-Event: War da was mit VR? Während die mobile VR-Brille Daydream View vor zwölf Monaten bei der Pixel-1-Entüllung noch eine der Hauptattraktionen war, hatte der ergonomisch verbesserte Nachfolger in diesem Jahr nur einen kurzen Gastauftritt. Der Trend geht klar zu Augmented Reality mit dem Smartphone und Künstlicher Intelligenz. Googles ARCore samt der Bilderkennungssoftware Google Lens wurde auf der Pixel-Pressekonferenz mehr Aufmerksamkeit zuteil als der VR-Brille. Ist Mobile-VR schon wieder out? Und wo sind eigentlich die autarken Virtual-Reality-Brillen, die Google für 2017 versprach? Schön langsam wird es zeitlich knapp. Test zur neuen Daydream View: https://vrodo.de/googles-neue-daydream-view-ist-bequemer-und-hat-ein-groesseres-sichtfeld/ Googles ARCore-Demos: https://vrodo.de/google-praesentiert-neues-ar-feature-fuer-pixel-smartphones/ Intel stellt Alloy ein: Vielleicht hat Google ja mit ähnlichen Problemen zu kämpfen wie Intel mit Alloy: Das Projekt zur autarken Mixed-Reality-Brille wurde eingestellt, da die Qualität nicht gewährleistet werden konnte und keine Partner für die Produktion gefunden wurden. Intel möchte jetzt doch lieber wieder Prozessoren und Wireless-Lösungen herstellen. Ist hochwertige Virtual Reality ohne PC oder Spielekonsole einfach noch nicht so weit? Intel kippt Alloy: https://vrodo.de/project-alloy-weshalb-intel-die-entwicklung-der-mr-brille-einstellte/

Matze war dieses Jahr vor Ort und hat sich TVs, VR Brillen, Audio Systems und noch viele andere Gadgets angesehen. VR Offensive Gleich vier neue VR Headsets sollen am 17.10. im Rahmen von Windows Mixed Reality vorgestellt werden. Die Hersteller dahinter: HP, Lenovo, Dell und Acer. Alle mit 1.400×1.400 Pixeln pro Bildschirm und für 450€. Damit sind sich alle recht ähnlich, was die Technik angeht und kommen wohl nicht an Oculus und HTC mit deren Brillen ran. Der Markt wird aber größer, was den Kunden zugute kommen könnte. Virtual Reality mit Gedankensteuerung? Neurable will es möglich machen. Die Firma hat ein brain-computer interface (BCI) präsentiert, mit dem man die Inhalte seiner Virtual Reality Brille rein mit Kraft der Gedanken steuern kann. Nicht auszudenken, was damit alles möglich wäre. Man müsste zum Spielen nicht mal mehr den Controller bedienen. Goodbye verrenkte Daumen. Aber Spaß bei Seite, denn wie viel Bewegung in VR-Computerspielen stecken kann haben wir selbst schon erfahren, als wir das Hologate getestet haben. Interessant ist die Technologie aber dennoch. Drone-Watch ganz ohne Bikini und Badeanzug gehen in Australien jetzt unbemannte Bademeister auf Tour. Wie Reuters berichtet, gehen im September an Stränden Downunder Drohnen mit Hai-Erkennung künstlicher Intelligenz auf Patrouille um rechtzeitig zu warnen, wenn ein Hai auftaucht. Bei der Hai-Erkennung haben Menschen nur eine Trefferquote von 20-30%, die Drohnen schaffen 90. Wow. Und cool… Playstation Now PlayStation Now, der Games-Streamingdienst von Sony ist nun endlich in Deutschland gestartet. Wir waren für Euch im Betatest dabei und erzählen was zu Bild- und Tonqualität, Spieleauswahl und v.a. ganz wichtig ob es sich flüssig spielt. Weekend – Sofa King Im letzten Geektalk hatten wir schon die erste Single von Weekends neuem Album “Keiner ist gestorben”. Nun gibt es die 2. Single und wir stellen sie Euch vor. Sofa King Be a fastfood Guy Jobtraining ist eine tolle Anwendung für Augmented Reality. Das dachte sich auch KFC und hat ein Spiel für die Oculus Rift entwickelt, um naja.. Hähnchen braten zu unterrichten…. Ich weiß nicht, wer da in die Versuchung kommt, sich sowas für zuhause zu holen… Das Geheimrezept der Soße soll übrigens nicht verraten werden. Es gibt wieder ein Galaxy Note Nach dem Debakel mit dem Note 7 (Sag was! berichtete), wagt sich Samsung erneut vor in die Welten der Phablets und kündigt das neue Flagship Galaxy Note 8 an. Bisher haben wir noch nichts von brennenden Akkus gehört, aber schauen wir mal, was schief geht, wenn es in größeren Mengen auf den Markt kommt. Wir drücken Samsung aber die Daumen, dass es diesmal reibungslos abläuft. Ghost in the Shell Realverfilmung und VoD Tipp “Death Note” Der Kult-Animé von Masamune Shirow bekam eine neue Realverfilmung mit Scarlett Johansson spendiert. Wir haben das bildgewaltige Epos für Euch geschaut und sagen ob es was taugt. Ausserdem haben wir uns die Animé Verfilmung von “Death Note” angesehen, welche seit dem 25. August verfügbar ist. Trailer Was für ein Modell Lego bringt am 1.10 das größte Millennium Falcon Set auf den Markt. Über 7.100 Teile hat es, ca. 800€ kostet es. Einfach wow. Die Frage ist, wie viele davon auf den Markt kommen und wie viele davon dann zusammen bebaut werden. Der Schwarzmarkt wird blühen, wenn die Nachfrage größer ist als die Produktion und dafür sehen wir eine große Wahrscheinlichkeit. Also wer eine Wertanlage sucht, das wäre sicher eine Überlegung wert. Wer basteln will ist damit sicher auch gut beschäftigt. Crowdfunding Wieder mal ein kleiner Kasten, der das Leben im digitalen Bereich sicher machen soll. Firewalla schützt das Heimnetz, nachdem man es mit Strom und Netzwerk verbunden hat. Wer jetzt noch zuschlägt und sein Netzwerk effektiver überwachen will, der kann sich sogar noch eine Lifetime Membership sichern. Der Beitrag 145 So viele Themen erschien zuerst auf Sag was! Geektalk.

Der VRODOCAST #39 ist da. Diesmal geht es um Googles und Microsofts Strategien für die Mixed Reality sowie künstliche Intelligenz in Spielen und VR-Anwendungen. Oculus schließt, Google kauft? Oculus schließt das hauseigene Content-Studio für VR-Filme, Google kauft kurz darauf das Entwicklerstudio Owlchemy Labs - wahrscheinlich mit der Absicht, hochwertige Inhalte für VR und AR zu produzieren. Owlchemy Labs konnte bei der Entwicklung von "Job Simulator" und "Rick and Morty VR" viel Erfahrung beim Design neuer Interfaces und Interaktionsparadigmen für räumliche Inhalte sammeln. Wir spekulieren, was genau Google mit dem Studio planen könnte und was nach Daydream View kommt. Denn ein Google-Sprecher deutete an, dass die mobile VR-Brille noch lange nicht das Ende von Googles Mixed-Reality-Bemühungen ist. Mehr dazu: https://vrodo.de/virtual-reality-weshalb-facebook-sein-vr-filmstudio-schliesst/ Mehr dazu: https://vrodo.de/google-manager-nach-daydream-werden-viele-viele-dinge-kommen/ Mehr dazu: https://vrodo.de/virtual-reality-google-kauft-das-vr-studio-owlchemy-labs/ Neuigkeiten von Microsofts Build ab 13:30 Im Rahmen der jährlichen Entwicklerkonferenz Build konkretisierte Microsoft die Pläne für die Mixed Reality. Die ersten VR-Brillen von Acer und HP sind zu einem günstigen Preis von rund 300 US-Dollar ab sofort für Entwickler vorbestellbar. Die technisch identischen kommerziellen Versionen sollen Ende des Jahres erscheinen. Außerdem beantwortete Microsoft die noch offene Frage nach einem 3D-Interface für Windows Mixed Reality und stellte einen neuen Controller vor, der an Oculus Touch und die Vive-Stäbe erinnert. Die Hardware kostet rund 100 US-Dollar und wird je nach Hersteller im Paket mit einer Brille oder einzeln als Windows-zertifiziertes Zubehör verkauft. Wir nehmen die Neuigkeit auseinander und diskutieren das Marktpotenzial der neuen Hardware. Mehr dazu: https://vrodo.de/windows-mixed-reality-microsoft-zeigt-3d-controller-vorbestellstart-fuer-vr-brillen/ Künstliche Intelligenz in Virtual-Reality-Games ab 23:23 Bei Ubisofts Virtual-Reality-Ausflug auf die Brücke der Enterprise steuert man das legendäre Raumschiff mit drei weiteren Kollegen. Doch was tun, wenn man keine drei Freunde mit VR-Brille hat? Dann muss die künstliche Intelligenz in Form von IBMs Watson ran. Mit der Integration der KI ab Sommer können Spieler den computergesteuerten Crewmitgliedern Befehle zurufen. Watson soll diese verstehen und umsetzen. Was bedeuten solche fähigen digitalen Assistenten für Alltagszwecke und Games? Mehr dazu: https://vrodo.de/star-trek-bridge-crew-wird-dank-watson-sprachbefehle-verstehen/

Episode #33 des VRODOCAST ist da und Christian und Tobias pflügen einmal querbeet durch die Mixed-Reality-News der Woche. Hololens feiert den ersten Geburtstag - und ist noch immer allein auf weiter Flur. Die Konkurrenz von Apple, Facebook und Co. pennt sicher nicht, lässt sich aber auch nicht in die Karten schauen. Christian und Tobias lassen das erste Jahr der Hololens-Brille Revue passieren und diskutieren über das Potenzial von AR-Gaming. Mehr dazu: https://vrodo.de/augmented-reality-microsoft-feiert-ersten-geburtstag-von-hololens/ Ab dem 11. April rollt Microsoft Windows Mixed Reality aus. Allerdings ist die Software auf absehbare Zeit nur für Entwickler relevant. Für Endverbraucher fehlt es noch an sinnvollen Anwendungen und - viel wichtiger - an kompatiblen Endgeräten. Es sei denn, sie legen 3.000 US-Dollar für eine Hololens auf den Tisch. Denn VR-Brillen speziell für Windows kommen nicht vor Ende des Jahres auf den Markt und gängige System wie Oculus Rift und HTC Vive sind noch nicht kompatibel. Ist das die richtige Strategie - oder juckt es ohnehin niemanden? Mehr dazu: https://vrodo.de/windows-mixed-reality-startet-am-11-april-mit-3d-paint/ Das neue Galaxy S8 würde "im Zeichen von VR" stehen, kündigte Samsung zu Beginn des Enthüllungsevents zum kommenden Flaggschiff-Smartphone an. Wirklich viel ist dann allerdings nicht passiert: Eine überarbeitete Version der Kugelkamera Gear 360 bietet kaum technische Verbesserungen, optimiert wurden in erster Linie Design und Ergonomie. Die zuvor angekündigte neue Version von Gear VR bietet ebenfalls nur rudimentäre Upgrades gegenüber dem Vorgänger. Der Bewegungscontroller ist zwar ein Fortschritt bei der Bedienung im Vergleich zum Touchpad, rein technisch haut das Zubehör aber niemanden vom Hocker. Auch das Galaxy S8 bietet keine signifikanten Upgrades im Vergleich zur VR-Erfahrung mit älteren Galaxy-Smartphones. Mobile-VR stagniert - oder doch nicht?

Im VRODOCAST #30, dem deutschsprachigen Podcast über Virtual Reality und Augmented Reality, geht es diesmal um Social VR mit Facebook und dem Second-Life-Nachfolger Project Sansar. Außerdem sprechen wir über Microsofts Mixed-Reality-Strategie. Facebook 360 Vor wenigen Tagen veröffentlichte Facebook die erste VR-App unter eigenem Namen. Bei "Facebook 360" kann man ausgewählte 360-Grad-Videos und -Fotos von professionellen Produzenten ansehen oder durch die 360-Inhalte der Freunde scrollen - sofern vorhanden. Ebenfalls integriert sind soziale Funktionen wie Reaktionen via Emoticons und die Möglichkeit, anderen Accounts zu folgen. Die App lässt sich mit dem eigenen Facebook-Account synchronisieren. Zwar ist "Facebook 360" im aktuellen Zustand noch keine sonderlich aufregende Anwendung mit großem Mehrwert. Aber Facebook könnte den Social-Videoplayer als Basis nehmen, um kontinuierlich neue Social-VR-Funktionen hinzuzufügen. Wir überlegen, welche Features sinnvoll sein könnten. Mehr: https://vrodo.de/gear-vr-facebook-veroeffentlicht-erste-virtual-reality-app-facebook-360/ Project Sansar ab Minute Um Social-VR geht es auch im zweiten Thema: Project Sansar, der VR-Nachfolger zu Second Life, startet im Frühjahr in die offene Beta. Die Entwickler von Linden Lab versprechen eine vielschichtige und komplexe Welt, die von ihren Nutzern erschafft und monetarisiert wird. Hat die App das Potenzial, einen ähnlichen Hype auszulösen wie seinerzeit Second Life? Und sind gerenderte 3D-Welten, in denen man sich als Avatar bewegt, tatsächlich die Zukunft für Social-VR - oder bleiben sie eine Nischenanwendung für Nerds? Mehr: https://vrodo.de/der-nachfolger-von-second-life-oeffnet-diesen-fruehling-sein-tore/ Windows Mixed Reality ab Minute Aus Windows Holographic macht Microsoft kurz vor dem Launch Windows Mixed Reality. Die Umbenennung ergibt Sinn, denn der neue Name beschreibt deutlich konkreter, was Microsoft plant, nämlich ein Betriebssystem für eine neue Generation räumlicher Computer zu schreiben. Das im April erscheinende "Creators Update" verdeutlicht den Mehrwert des VR-OS noch nicht, scheint stattdessen auf Rückwärtskompatibilität zu setzen. In bisherigen Demonstrationen sind die VR-Nutzer zwar in einer immersiven 360-Grad-Umgebung, bedienen dort aber nur herkömmliche 2D-Anwendungen, wie man sie aus Windows kennt. Hinzu kommt, dass hochwertige und kommerziell verfügbare VR- und AR-Endgeräte wie die kommende Acer-Brille für Windows oder Hololens noch Monate oder gar Jahre bis zur Marktreife benötigen. Wir diskutieren Pro & Contra von Microsofts Mixed-Reality-Strategie.
