🏔️ 🆘 Lawinenrettung üben in der virtuellen Realität: Ein Team um Pascal Knierim vom Institut für #Informatik fand heraus, dass das Training von Lawinenrettung mit VR-Brillen genauso effektiv sein kann wie traditionelle Übungen.

VR-Training könnte daher eine wertvolle Ergänzung zu den klassischen Kursen am Hang sein.

expérience très sympathique hier soir à Nivelle, avec présentation d'une version réelle du prototype V1 du @Shifti_SC #veli et une version virtuelle de la V2 en cours de développement (tks #godotengine #vr #openxr ) dans un masque de 2eme main "libéré" * pour tous public ( de 9 à ??? ) durant un "salon des écogestes"

I'd love to chat with someone (on or off camera) who's been following the #VR space for the last couple years about the Steam Frame. Specifically the implications it might have for Linux VR support going forward. (Not to mention what it could do for wider adoption of ARM and compatibility for that architecture...)

If you're interested please DM me.

Valve's upcoming Steam Frame is a VR headset that brings a major update to SteamOS. Originally a Linux-based OS for AMD-powered handheld & desktop PCs, it now runs on an ARM-based VR device that supports Linux, Windows, and Android games + streaming. https://www.uploadvr.com/valve-steam-frame-official-announcement-features-details/ #SteamFrame #Valve #VR #SteamOS

The tongue-in-cheek premise of the VR game Job Simulator is that all every-day jobs have been replaced by robots, and humans can enter a job museum to learn what it was once like "to have a job".

I don't think there's anything tongue-in-cheek left at this point, with the way things are going...

Potentially powerful political storytelling, enabled by media technology:

The #UN recently commissioned a #VR experience that gives viewers "a real, tangible sense of what peace keepers do" in South #Sudan – "which often gets lost in discussions and presentations."

Small heads up for new #Linux users:
While Mint is often recommended for Windows converts, be cautious if you're into #VR. Getting headsets like the Valve Index to work can be a real challenge on it.

A friend just switched to Fedora to solve this exact issue. Distros with more up-to-date software often provide a smoother experience for modern gaming hardware. Mint isn't necessarily bad, but for e.g VR/etc, it pays to research your use cases with your distro before install

Apple has been working on a cheaper version of its Vision Pro headset, but is no w said to be shifting resources to wok on smart glasses to compete with Meta's. The first could be audio-only glasses set to launch in 2027, followed in 2028 with a version that has a display. #Apple #VR #AR #SmartGlasses #AppleVisionPro https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-10-01/apple-shelves-vision-headset-revamp-to-prioritize-meta-like-ai-smart-glasses

Free Workshop this week! Tracking fast-moving objects in real time presents a unique CV challenge, especially on low-compute devices. Using OpenCV’s lightweight and low-latency capabilities in Unity with Meta Quest. You’ll learn how CV can run efficiently on wearables with local inference, enabling real-time tracking from a first-person POV and seamless integration into immersive environments.
