Quite incredible that this horrible person continues to burn through billions on stupid things (#metaverse #genai #oculus ); single-handedly torched #democracy over the past 10 years; is buying #hawaii for his #bunker and yet #investors keep rewarding the behavior.
Facebook (Meta) is using the camera on your Oculus/Quest device not only to map people’s homes, but also to identify anyone in them.
If you own an Oculus/Quest, throw it away.
It’s being used to help ICE.
New York remains a good place to be.
Seen while passing through The Oculus the other evening: a large Progress Pride Flag and some nicely-done themed lighting design.
Official and commercial New York aren't going along with the creepy hatreds the current US regime is obsessed with.
Happy Pride, everyone!
Oculus-Gründer wiedervereint: Neues Brillenprojekt dreht sich um KI statt VR

Happy birthday #Quake! On June 22, 1996, id Software launched Quake — the first full-3D shooter using the #QuakeEngine. Unlike 2D-sprite-based games, Quake featured fully 3D environments, dynamic lighting, and Lightmaps.
#HalfLife and #CounterStrike are built on the Quake engine — making it a milestone in multiplayer #FPS history. Earlier, #Doom (1993) set the stage with groundbreaking 3D visuals, network play, and the birth of #Deathmatch.
The evolution continued with #idTech2 through #idTech5 powering games like #Doom3 and #Rage. Developer #JohnCarmack was the technical genius behind id’s engines before moving to #Oculus.
Which #idTech-based games do you remember?

Nachdem er Donald Trumps ersten Wahlkampf unterstützt hat, wurde Palmer Luckey von Facebook gefeuert. Nun ist Trump zurück und Luckey arbeitet wieder mit Meta.
Love this decorated oculus on the 1904 St Vincent Masonic Halls on Overnewton Street in the west of Glasgow. I particularly like the face on what I think is the rising sun just starting to make an appearance at the bottom.

Anyone doing #XR work? I have the perfect idea. A #mixedreality #app that helps you cut things into perfect portions.
Cake, Pizza, Meatloaf, Baked Oatmeal, whatever!
Show cut lines on the object and then let me mark and cut.

Yet another #Billionaire with a chip on his shoulder
Not much to show after spending billions on #Oculus and AR..yet 
At #Meta Connect, it’s Zuck or nothing
“But it left unsaid what seemed to be the larger point, which is that #Zuckerberg intends to crush his rivals — particularly — into a fine pulp
His swagger on stage was most evident when he discussed the company's next-generation glasses as the likeliest next-generation computing platform, and highlighted the progress that Meta had made so far
And it also failed to capture just how personal all this seems to him”

The central oculus in the rather stunning dome of the Hamilton Mausoleum to the southeast of Glasgow. It was designed by David Hamilton, with additions by
David Bryce and Alexander Handyside Ritchie, and was built in the1840s and the early 1850s.
Inside the Oculus, a bustling transit nexus situated in the heart of New York City, just a stone's throw away from the iconic World Trade Center, one is instantly enveloped in a captivating urban panorama.
