Apple Vision Pro's launch

ALVR support does expand the AVP use to outside the :green_apple: ecosystem. With how fast they gained support suggests Apple invested in making that happen.

Pimax needs to even with the release of the Wigig. Need to see about getting ALVR support for the week for 6e.

Added Tag group to newsfeed as well as tag for “The Verge” & Article(for news sites not in tag list.)

So now this category is further organized.

Ie

RoadtoVR\Apple-hmd
RoadToVR\Meta-Hmd

With the RSS feeds though have to apply the extra tags a couple of times until the plugin not pulling those recent topics.

This details how the bat but worked. Pretty cool.

Visited apple store covent garden London yesterday

Surreal touch look good despite the accuracy being a little loose (10mm) compared to existing lighthouse and Meta slam solutions

The plus? You don’t need to dismantle your AVP like you did with the considerable cheaper 5k+.

His testing simply shows what the lenses distort when used on a static 2d image without any correction being applied.

So it would be easy to use these images in the headset with a viewer to see that the out edges as shown where it is distorted being properly corrected for.

Which based on your previous “hyping” is being done to proper level needed. Easy for you to test if you have not loaded a test image yet in the AVP. Covering entire FoV.

Bottom line I have read enough time know the AVP is quite amazing and the fact it seems they have the right distortion correction working makes that even more true. Since Apple is often more focused it would be curious if they consulted Lionel or were able to do it purely on their own.

I am looking forward to when a. Opportunity arises for me to demo one in a store or better maybe an event.

I never refused to go try why. Just no reason at present to make a special trip to do so.

You would be surprised. Been working on that and not all areas are visible to the public

I have been working I. It slowly with being selective mostly of who is invited to help get things setup.

I had thought you could help; As you are often really good contributor helping a variety of people and when we were a team we both did well in the early days curving toxicity. By reaching out to individuals directly in very positive ways.

I miss those days.

Agreed just need ppl to stop distorting articles.

All these articles of Meta adding AVP features to the Q3 is very positive for :green_apple: as it proves Apple is on the right track. With their first hmd release.

It wouldn’t be hard to find real apple hater articles.

One positive post I shared on Reddit. iVRy Dev responded not to believe anything they post as they claimed to have reviewed software not released. iVRy is apparently making an app for AVP and that publication claimed to have reviewed it. :joy:

Karl may like clickbait titles but when you read that particular Articles with picks. It clearly shows the pancake lenses have a nice sweet spot but also suffer from bad distortions outside ring. I was surprised by it as it was over hyped as being much better. I am talking pancake lenses in general.

I would be curious to see someone use the test images in the headset to verify/demonstrate that Apple has accomplished what Lionel said. Which with low FoV shouldn’t be that difficult vs Wfov hmds.

The more Meta scrambles to add/demonstrate AVP features on the Quest is simply a testament of how well Apple is doing.
