Got OpenXR running on Apple Vision Pro with vision-openxr, my experimental runtime. Godot uses Metal, my C++ xrlib demo uses Vulkan via MoltenVK and shares OpenXR code with Meta Quest. github.com/1runeberg/xr... #OpenXR #visionOS #Vulkan

Spending the weekend chilling with some games on Vision Pro. With TFT, it took a bit of finagling to get everything hooked up since it doesn’t have native Mac support and there’s no Steam Link, but got it working nicely now. Note: no work context involved here, just for fun!

Been getting into TFT over the last 3 weeks after my Riot Games denewb. Did a test Twitch stream today and caught myself hitting Silver I! 🥳 Follow to see if I can reach Gold at some point - or fall back to the depths of Silver 😅 Either way it'll be a fun ride. www.twitch.tv/videos/26604...

Love the portability of the #SteamDeck, but sometimes you just want a giant screen - #AppleVisionPro currently fills this gap.

Landslide! Thrilled to see Labor win. Normally don't mind the usual swings between Labor+Greens and Liberals+Nationals, the Liberal leader's recent dog whistling pushed me to vote Labor instead of my usual Greens. Bonus: Lost his seat held by Liberals for 24 yrs! Go trumpin get a thumpin I guess?

Want to see something cool? We revisited the real library that inspired the one in Moss! (Location: Suzzallo Library on the University of Washington campus in Seattle, WA) This would be perfect paired with the Moss Book 2 soundtrack: youtube.com/playlist?lis... #GameDev #MR #VRgaming #cozygame 🎮

Working on my skinning pipeline: GLTF → OpenXR+Vulkan → GLSL. Left: Decent result with just palm and wrist. Center: My actual hand with debug markers. Right: Lovecraft would be proud! Or perhaps I should just tag this 'Generative AI Skinning' and call it a day! 😅 youtu.be/gdzcg7_cTKU

An important message from our team at Toast Interactive.

We have difficult news to share with the VR community. Last week, we made the difficult decision to reduce the Toast Interactive team. Ten of our talented colleagues, fellow devs, and friends have been affected. Without their contributions, we never would have created an award-winning game like Max Mustard. And while Max is one of the highest-rated games on both PSVR2 and Meta Quest, it sadly can't sustain a large indie team. We want to do everything possible to support the future of all affected. Their award-winning work speaks for itself! So if you're a developer, publisher, or recruiter in need of talent, please get in touch with us. Our remaining team at Toast is dedicated to delivering incredible experiences and we all appreciate your support during this challenging time.

Been tinkering w/ a privacy-focused chat app #ConfiChat . Handles local models via @ollama and online @OpenAI w/ local history encryption. Looking for beta testers but planning to open-source this w/e. Pls let me know if I should keep the "cutesy" branding. Not so sure about it

Rune Berg @runeberg.social · 31/07/2024

Always felt foreign language practice is a great use for #LLMs First attempt at fine-tuning Meta's llama3.1 (via @ollama ) to help with my now rusty German - lived in Germany for 5 years but have been away for as long. Great immersion substitute I think! (red: AI, yellow: me)

000

Rune Berg @runeberg.social · 06/07/2024

This got me curious if these models can generate doxygen comments, so I fed #ChatGPT and #ClaudeAI code from my OpenXR wrapper lib and url to the spec. Claude came up with "ok" results but chatgpt seems unable to access the spec. Not quite useable but seems getting there imo.

000

Rune Berg @runeberg.social · 03/07/2024

Been testing @ChatGPTapp & @AnthropicAI side-by-side for some of my more boring tasks. Here's an interesting one using a quick sparse prompt. #chatgpt4o provided an interesting name; #ClaudeAI is I guess an Apple fan 😆 Both hallucinated features but leaning on ChatGPT on this

Rune Berg @runeberg.social · 15/05/2024

Just tried the new ChatGPT model. My German's super rusty so thought I'd see if it can help with practice, from the basics. Perhaps my pronunciation is super bad as it thought I was speaking Japanese at one point 🤣 Here's the transcript: chatgpt.com/c/4a06c996-a0f0-464a-b7…

Portability, device agnosticism, and accessibility are hallmarks of modern actions-based input that has served the wider games industry well. #OpenXR is capable of this - happy to announce that we're working to unlock this potential for @thekhronosgroup beyondreality.io/projects/#kh...

Rune Berg @runeberg.social · 18/10/2023

There's been a sudden spike of interest with my @OpenXR provider lib & demos in @Github. It *appears* to coincide with the @Meta #Quest3 shipping date. I'm glad there's so much interest with OpenXR and if traffic is indeed Quest3 related, MR content specifically 🧵1/4

000

Rune Berg @runeberg.social · 18/10/2023

Happy that my #openxr provider repo is getting quite a bit of interest @github - however, it's eating up my bandwidth faster than I can purchase packs for it. The spike is so sudden, are these bots or some valid use (e.g. school)? I haven't really done any active promoting.

Thanks for the feedback - still noodling. But as requested, releasing code & binaries early in a dev branch for folks who wish to follow along! Closest I’ve gotten to moving seamlessly in-and-out of different realities ala Star Trek’s holodeck. Enjoy!🖖 t.co/UNXZpHIBZC t.co/B...

Noodling a level transition mechanic for a WIP reusable app template+interaction demo for my #OpenXR library. Wanting something bespoke to #XR like The Lab’s orbs for #VR. What do you folks think of this? (Similar code to the eye tracking demo but switched it up a bit)

Decided to rewrite my #OpenXR library to support both PC-and-mobile (Android/Quest), and focus only on #VulkanAPI. Still WIP - but pretty happy with my PBR renderer which I plan to formally improve on as an optional module as it's a fun tinker 😄 github.com/1runeberg/OpenXRProvider…
