Happy Canada day! In a world that continues to blow our collective minds in its stupidity, I've never been more proud to be Canadian. Imperfect but pretty damn close...especially by today's standards.

Horizons developers in an uproar. Gazillions invested. Corporate pivots to calm the noise... Meanwhile in VR gamedev land, where the cold wind blows, we're all like:

What many get wrong about XR (VR, MR/AR) is that any one aspect of it set to disappear. In the "pan-ultimate XR wearable", the distinction between VR, MR/AR will be a gradient of experience based on user preference. Each modality will become MORE important, not less. The how & when are footnotes.

9 days ago my family (& 2 sets of grandparents) evacuated due to wildfire. It was a deeply destabilizing & humbling experience. The return order came yesterday. Grateful to the fire fighters in ways I can't describe. In the midst of that we went to NIN! Thanks to Trent Reznor & NIN for the levity.

If you are new to VR or have friends new to VR please do us a solid and check out Meta's "Best Curated Bundles" where our beloved Pistol Whip is married with the brilliant Super Hot. Honestly a match made in heaven :) Ends Sept 8th. www.meta.com/experie...

On this Canada day, I just want to say how grateful I am to raise my family in this diverse & beautiful country. When the world presents chaos & uncertainty, Canada represents safety, ethics, reason, & calm amongst the storm. Its not perfect, but comparatively, its damn close! Happy Canada day!

Real-talk; AI doesn't have "perspective", therefor its for-profit dataset outputs are inherently based on skilled human inputs. There are potential ways to reparate & move forward ethically but it needs to happen before AGI or ASI gain that "perspective". After that core human purpose is threatened.

Some of the team from Cloudhead Games was lucky enough to take a tour of James Cameron's Light Storm studios recently. The museum area with the Power Loader and Queen Alien...drool :)

Guess who finally ordered a Bigscreen Beyond 2 with all the fixings? Every HMD has its benefits and sore spots but I love exploring the ambition & innovation of all HMD makers, to get a bead on the future. Every development an key step forward for XR. Can't wait to add BSB 2 to the collection :)

R.I.P Val Kilmer. Such a genuine creative that made everything he was in better. I will always have a soft spot for Real Genius...which if you haven't watched, now is the time.

1 of 3: After 10 years of being a proud contributor to our growing VR community on Twitter (now X), my ride there is over. We’ve seen X become increasingly polarized, feeding slanted politics, xenophobic or hateful discrimination, rewarding Trolls, and allowing global bad actors on platform.

As a Canadian, one of the questions I never thought I'd have to ask... Kind of insulting isn't it America?

Happy to say, we hired a HUMAN concept artist full-time at the studio today. So for any of you artists out there who are feeling down about genAI taking your jobs, just know that there are studios out there whom still deeply value the unique perspective & originality of human creators.

I wrote recently about VR/MR/AR outcomes & MR/AR's true superpower. This video by Jesser772 almost perfectly captures what I've been blabbing about for the last few years. Custom authored realities are where we're headed...for better or for worse... t.co/JSFFc5uGyV
