do you have any recommendations for an educational, immersive VR experience focussing on the human heart? 🫀🥽 there seem to be a lot of anatomy apps but I'm looking more for a guided/exploratory experience geared towards the general public.. #medicalXR #VirtualReality #healthEducation #AR

Lilliputian hallucinations: “visions of pint-sized, elf-like figures – marching under doors, crawling up walls and clinging to furniture.” …can we link this to body perception and create a VR version?

Tried to find an opportune moment when the line to test the meta boba HMD wasn’t too long 😅 NGL that extended field of view is amazing 🤯 SIGGRAPH2025 General critique of VR demos remains that… we need bodies in VR 🤣 enough with the disembodied views. “floating in a most peculiar way”

some really cool / bizarre demos here 😅 always interested in haptic interfaces though. How about this referred touch interface? #SIGGRAPH2025
Project Description: Tele Touch :
Human-to-Human
Teleoperation with Bare Finger Tactile Sensing and High-Resolution Electro-tactile Display
Tele Touch is a human-to-human teleoperation system enabling direct tactile communication. It uses a fingernail-mounted vibration motor with a 6-DOF sensor for touch sensing and a high-resolution, wearable electro-tactile display for feedback. AR integration synchronizes hand movements for intuitive remote interaction.
