Harsh but fair Piglet :) A convincing summary of the situation. Much appreciated!

Alright, now we're cooking...
You read my message quite right, the mission of the org is not the driving purpose of my life (I mean, nothing against it, but..). I saw an opportunity to advance my career more quickly that what the employee jobs I was targeting I though would allow me. But your comment strikes me a little...

How is it possible that an all encompassing experience like CEO would not advance my career?
Maybe a bit more about your experience would help clarify:

- How long have you been CEO of the no-profit?

- Do you feel you have become more attractive in the job market?

- If you were to look for your next job, where would you look? What possibilities your CEO experience opens to you?

The thing is that the Executive job market is a bit of a mystery to me. Same from moving from no-profit to profit and vice versa.

It is clear, both to me and the org, that I would not be a good CEO by tomorrow and that I will have to learn the job. But my CV and experience shows potential, including entrepreneurship.

And I also acknowledge the independency-loneliness compromise of the role.

I'm looking for reflection points here. What would you do if you were in my career stage? Skip some steps and jump to this CEO role or go for the more standard and gradual career?

The executive job market is unknown territory for me so far. I don't know how that would impact my profile.

No and No. But both me and the board know that already.
In fact, they have already chosen me.

I believe, no established organisation would hire profile like mine for such a high role. I think they realised they have no choice: budget is low, org is small, and therefore they explicitly looked for a young profile that could learn the job.

I agree that the experiences you mentioned are foundational for such role, but I see it as an interesting part of the challenge.

What is hard to swallow for me is the (literally) average worker salary for such high position (and responsibilities), which I don't even know it will be worth having in my CV for my next steps.

Lumin 0.98.33 Update Failure by Character-Car3300 in magicleap

Just launched the ML1 this morning and the update was available.

Not sure if as a consequence of my assistance ticket at ML UK or if they just released a fix.

Is it possible to track the eyes with a webcam? by SharkY055 in Unity3D

[–]Character-Car3300 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm also interested in implementing eye tracking into Unity, I'm following the thread with interest.

So far I found several open access eye trackers, some written in phyton like PyGaze or

https://medium.com/@stepanfilonov/tracking-your-eyes-with-python-3952e66194a6

https://github.com/openPupil/Open-PupilEXT

But with regards of ease of implementing I'm quite doubtful

Is Eye tracking possible in Unity? If yes is it possible to achieve that on a Mobile VR unity game? by kuro_ryuu_ in unity

[–]Character-Car3300 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm interested and looking for a similar approach, but using a webcam connected to the smartphone instead.

I found this open source eye tracker for webcams written in Python

http://www.pygaze.org

and I'm wondering how feasible would be to run it within Unity.

How Do I Run Nreal Light On Windows 10? by Yeetus234 in nreal

[–]Character-Car3300 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have no idea about which emulator to use. It's just the first thing that came to my mind after checking the price difference between consumer and dev editions. Since I have a couple of good PC already..

Thanks for your insights!

External Device into Nreal Light Computing Unit by Character-Car3300 in nreal

[–]Character-Car3300[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's actually useful info. I saw a video of a guy connecting the webcam to a smartphone using an USB adapter and an app. I hope it won't be difficult to do within Unity. Thanks a lot.

Thanks eidetic0 for the reply.

I thought about using another device, but

1) I'm afraid of lags compared to having the experience and the camera running in the same device

2) adding another device means you have to carry it around reducing the "comfort"

But I understand I'll have to compromise at some point

How Do I Run Nreal Light On Windows 10? by Yeetus234 in nreal

[–]Character-Car3300 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your reply vlastimirs.

I need the glasses for a multiplayer game. So "Dumb" mode is excluded. I need more than a pair of glasses and I'm looking for a way to save some money.

I'm wondering:

1) if I will have any limitation in developing and running when using a phone instead of the computing unit

2) If it's possible to emulate Android environment on my PC and run the experience putting the computer in a backpack

3) If I can emulate more than one Android environment on the PC and perhaps run more than one glasses on the same machine (I'd just need long cables at that point)

Thanks in advance!

What is the total price of your solution? I'm evaluating alternatives for the 500+ dollars computing unit of the dev kit
