If Rockstar didn’t back up a truck full of money to Tim Dillon so that he can have full control of making a radio station in GTA VI then they made at least two failures (Not shipping on disc is the other).

I just realized … only now Control Resonant is totally helping the development for the Max Payne remakes.

Half-Life Alyx on standalone is my killer app. It’s just amazing it exists and performs as well as it does. Steam Frame is comfy & light AF too, Arcturus Vision for color passthrough and taking stereo photos and videos, plus the Ergo kit are both a must-have to get the Index style back.

I got a PS4. It has only one purpose. So glad I added this to my account way back when. Masterpiece and a crime original is so hard to play. @hideokojima.bsky.kojimaproductions.jp

IMAX visionOS app is severely under utilized with no feature films to rent/sell. Deals need to be made. It’s very difficult to get decent seats for big releases at the AMC Lincoln Sq theater & their full IMAX screen. It may not get to be the same quality (celluloid vs digital) but it’ll be close.

I’m glad im not the only one not happy about UE6. Specifically Blueprint deprecation with no solution that BPs solve to replace it.

• Spatial accessories can be 6DoF tracking • Mac remote rendering (not new but I have line of sight on prototype) • Accessability visionOS27 has motion cues for when in a vehicle. I Was Literally just saying this needs to come to visionOS.

Being very careful because it isn’t water resistant. But best way to take spatial photos and video.

Visited the Washington National Cathedral fully wearing Vision Pro 80% of the time. It takes incredible Spatial Photos and Videos and it just worked. Here’s some of them flat and tiny. 🫣

I cannot emphasize enough how overlooked and important the relationship with a company is when evaluating user experience; especially through the lens of a single touch point (product, OS, app etc.).
Diagram titled 'Levels of User Experience' showing three interconnected circular diagrams representing Single Interaction Level, Journey Level, and Relationship Level.

Single Interaction Level includes: Visual, Aural & other feedback Design, User Psychology, Interaction Design, Navigation Design, Content Strategy, and Information Architecture.

Journey Level builds on Single Interaction Level and includes: Anticipate user actions, Seamless Transitions, Based on data, Streamlined steps, and Consistent across channels.

Relationship Level builds on both prior levels and includes: Customer Service, Sustained Connections, Brand & Trust, Communication & Marketing (communicating expectations), and Value & Offerings.
