There's some things about "what you do" in regards to the cold and flu that you probably take as assumed, general knowledge, that's undoubtedly true... When it's actually not so well proven. #Cold #Flu #Immunity #Health #RealityCrafters lnkd.in/p/g2Rjj4qg

Community is essential. Feeling that sense of belonging, being with your "tribe"... it's so important. We're honoured that we get to organise one very special community here in Sydney - #SydAR

Excited to try coding for these Everysight Maverick AR glasses, as well as the Even Realities G2s! Gonna be some fun and curious AR prototyping in the coming months!

For most of my life, I had my blood pressure taken at the doctor's office with no idea what it actually was, let alone what a good number or bad number was 😅

In the next 15 years, we get to watch little Nora grow up alongside our next adventures — travelling the world, The Reality Crafters and enjoying all the other parts of life in between 😊 I love you Meri and I am forever grateful I met you that day on the train.

Meri, thank you for being my soulmate and best friend for all of that time. It's incredible how of every person on Earth, we found our perfect match. Two wildly creative, ambitious, very unique humans who found their other half!

WebXR still has huge potential and maybe bringing some of the 8th Wall codebase to the wider dev community will accelerate things even further. More eyes. Fresh eyes. More innovation! 😎 www.8thwall.com/blog/post/20...

Thank You For Building With Us: The Next Chapter for 8th Wall | 8th Wall
8th Wall will wind down over the next year, with hosted projects remaining active through February 2027.

The innovation they managed within WebXR was incredible, I'm hopeful that this will be the start of lots of that innovation being brought into the open source ecosystem for all to access 😊

MASSIVE AR news today 😮 8th Wall will be shutting down next year - with platform access shutting down 28th Feb 2026 and all hosting being decommissioned a year later, after 28th Feb 2027. Maybe it's not all sad news though. #AugmentedReality #WebXR #WebAR

We've been learning all about the links between balancing tech, health & wellness. With everything we learn, we find even more to delve into. The mind always craves more learning with every bit you give it. Lots of positive health outcomes come from lifelong learning 🧠

Being able to run Mentra OS on them is also a major plus, even though I'm sure that wasn't on the awards criteria 😅 #AugmentedReality #AR #smartglasses #emergingtech

The Even Realities G1s totally deserve THREE major design awards! They're my daily pair of glasses and always surprise people with how they look like a normal pair of glasses. If only they had speakers and/or a camera and they'd be perfect.

It’s just US$3 on Bandcamp — less than the price of a coffee, and worth so much more than that (I speak as a coffee addict here too ☕️). Share with a friend who needs a musical hug today.

Each song is professionally produced and the stunning artwork is crafted entirely by Meri (no AI, just pure creativity). If you, or someone you know, could use a musical pick me up or a reminder that they’re not alone, please take a moment to listen, buy, and share ❤️

Your mental health matters. Today on #WorldMentalHealthDay2025, I get to share something truly special: my wife Meri's brand new Mental Health EP — her first release in 8 years. This isn’t just another CD. It’s three heartfelt, original tracks on an important topic.

That's the new me right there. No hat! No glasses! A fresh start! At least that's the start of each day that most don't see. Just as raw and full of potential as my day is, that's the boundless potential of The Reality Crafters from this moment. You'll be hearing a lot more from us this month. ⚜️⚓️🕰

There's so much detail and accessibility in the Apple Vision Pro that I can see being hard to replicate well on smart glasses in the near future at least. Can't see Apple releasing green-based display smart glasses any time soon that's for sure 😅

Patrick Catanzariti @patrickcatanzariti.bsky.social · 02/02/2025
This is about more lightweight smart glasses that connect to a separate device. While these are exactly the type of smart glasses I'm keen on, I can see Apple being more eager to build a self-contained headset that gets progressively more lightweight.
