Rich beyond my wildest dreams!
Is there *anything* less than a quid that's worth getting on the Oculus Quest?

Hello Mastodon. I'm Alex, a #Scottish ex-pat living in #Texas. I'm a software developer by trade and do #gamedev for fun.
I also love #retro technology and have a little collection of #8-bit computers that I enjoy hanging out with of an evening.
If you like old vector-style video games or fancy new virtual-reality video games or both you might like to try my game VekWars.

#Introduction: I started building #worlds on the #internet nearly 30 years ago. I’m an expert in #AR, #VR, #AI, and #ARGs.
Over 2 years ago, I started exposing the people abusing the digital world to #radicalize people and destabilize global #liberal #democracy.
I was banned from the #birdsite w/60k followers and smeared by hundreds of sadistic trolls because I exposed #MikeFlynn, #QAnon and the #insurrection
Grateful for #mastodon and my new home toad.social. 💙🙏🇺🇸🏴☠️

I'm a #Berlin based #MediaArtist reflecting on the relationship of society and technology. I work with a variety of media, write, and give talks. And #SoftwareEngineering!
Some projects:
The https://wohnungsbot.de is a #FOSS #automation tool to help you find a flat in Berlin.
I presented the bot & background at #36C3: https://media.ccc.de/v/36c3-10988-wohnungsbot_an_automation-drama_in_three_acts
Also told in a fully-automated #puppet #theater: https://neopostmodern.com/portfolio/von-einem-der-auszog-eine-wohnung-in-berlin-zu-finden-3-akt
I'm chair of https://palast.jetzt, to rebuild the #PalastDerRepublik, and member of https://thisisfake.team, a #VR collective.

A month ago, I had the opportunity to go on a train trip through beautiful 🇫🇮 #Finland. So it is time to post my updated Finland 🚂 transit diagram of 2025. It shows all #VR and HSL services. Have fun browsing it.

First trailer for Portal Foxes TD is up. Not very flashy, but it should let players know if the game is for them. #gamedev #indiegame #towerdefense #vr https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=32iBkzi_s84
Hey Mastodon! 👋 Here is our #introduction post: We are the Data Visualization Lab at Khoury College of Computer Sciences at Northeastern University. You can find more about our work here: https://vis.khoury.northeastern.edu/
We'd love to be connected to more folks and labs in the realms of #DataVisualization #HCI #xAI #AR #VR #VisualAnalytics #PhD #Research
Our lab has been applying visualization to domain areas like #accessibility #UAVs #Genetics #Privacy #Pedagogy #Networks #GraphTheory
Say hi!
I never did a pinned intro post, so: Started in #radio 30 years ago, which transitioned to #podcast 20 years ago. “Mac OS Ken” focuses on Apple News. “The Checklist by #SecureMac” focuses on security. Did a show about #StarTrek, until the people who owned it wouldn’t pay a decent wage (no fooling). These days, all I REALLY want to talk about are #bookbinding, #fountainpens, #postcards, and #stationery. Well… and #VR. And #AR. And #Apple and #podcasting and radio.
Oh. And fuck the fascists.

In 2017 I did an artist residency focused on #3D #augmentedreality drawing.
My favorite piece from that series is this video of me getting into bed with a drawing of my own idealized body.

Hi, I'm Dex, #dragon star of a (fictional) series of 90s platformers.
#Furry, #NB (check profile for pronouns), over 30, #sysadmin
Passions include #PowerShell, #PKM via #ObsidianMD, #VR (with a focus on #VRChat), commissioning art, and #Apple products.
Due to some past injuries, we're dependent on mobility aids, including the use of a cane to walk long distances.
https://cohost.org/Dex is where we currently post longer writing.

Howdy #mastodon, I'm Crag!
I'm a washed up roleplayer and science nerd. I sometimes do mildly interesting and educational things related to VR, roleplay and VRChat. Finding various ways to escape reality from my engineering day job. xd

I never wrote a proper #introduction so here goes.
I have been working in "IT" for over 15 years. Starting all the way at the bottom and working my way up.
I mostly work in small and medium sized business as a security professional. Helping them to uplift their security posture. This involves a lot of education around the basics and what is and isn't good practise and/or value for money.
Being in that space does mean I still do a lot of "traditional" IT work (i.e. IT Ops). I really enjoy the variety that brings.
Outside of work I play video games, dabble in 3D printing and home automation.
Other people tell me I'm a foodie, so I guess I am. I'd probably describe myself more as a dessert aficionado 😋
I'm #nonbinary and prefer they/them. But won't get upset at you if you forget.

I've made a first pass at the sound effects in my as yet unnamed VR tower defense game, and I'm looking for new play testers. If you're interested in trying to hold back the slime invasion with a band of elemental foxes (and have SteamVR capable hardware) please let me know! #gamedev #sound #VR #playtesting
I'm a #digitalnomad with my GF and my #cockerspaniel (Miles). We've been #travelling for 4+ years and we've done 40+ countries.
We taught ourselves to #sail and lived on a yacht (#boatlife) for part of this year (didn't stick).
I'm working on #bootstrapping a startup (Twirrl). Nominally #buildinpublic.
I'm also interested in #pkm and currently use #obsidianmd.
I fly #drones, engage in irregular #3dprinting and I'm a recovering #vr and #ar developer (#unity3d).
and with that, we are live!

I'm extremely sad to share that there’s been a big layoff at VRChat. https://twitter.com/VRChat/status/1801028372262248815
A bunch of *extremely* smart & talented people across Unity & VR dev, Security, Web dev, APIs, QA, Design, User support and more are now looking for their next roles.
If you know of any open remote roles it would mean a lot to me if you could pass them along.
(It perhaps goes without saying but I don't really want to talk about the company right now, I just want to help the people pick up the pieces. Please be kind)

🆕 blog! “VR Review: Moss 2”
★★★★☆
Did you enjoy the game Moss? This is a sequel which is identical to the original. The graphics are identical, the gameplay is identical, the puzzles are identical. There are a couple of slightly new mechanics and a new playable character (also a mouse). But it is fundamentally more of the same. So I suggest […]

Alright, so it seems like @Michael and I are official starting something together.
In a nutshell, we are building an environment to design and code mixed-reality (MR) experiences directly in headset, on the web.
Mixed-reality, spatial computing, “the metaverse” (🤢); regardless the name, Apple and Meta are coming in hot with new hardware, new app stores, and not-new 30% taxes.
But what about the web? How do we create a thriving ecosystem of apps for those devices?
