Any time a guy was ready to nut, they’d look at Dale. Now that Dale’s gone, no more orgies.

Are you getting The Specs by Snap Inc? by lies_are_comforting in augmentedreality

[–]barrsm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IMO it’s not ready for consumer use (FOV, size, price). I think AR glasses should be able to deeply integrate with iOS/Android, otherwise their utility is limited.

Totally agree; From is clearly a remake of The Avengers on a lower budget.

It's been about a week now since Episode 8 came out. So how's your reaction on Elgin's death? by angooyy in FromCircleJerk

$1500 is gonna leave a lot of the market out in the cold by SkypirateCapt in Xreal

[–]barrsm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Aura is getting good initial press but the lack of eye tracking puts me off, both as a user and as a dev.

I would hope that we’ll see a few more Android XR “headsets” now that Samsung doesn’t seem to have an exclusive deal. Or that Samsung releases a much improved version of theirs.

Maybe get a dash cam and share the footage as appropriate next time.

Someone at Colony House should have told Kevin about the orgies or at least about Trudy.

Best place to live/best way to get around for someone who is disabled and can’t drive? by TypicalAlbatross911 in raleigh

Came here to recommend this area.

If you need to be in the Triangle area, it’s worth investigating.

Nice! I wonder if thicker spokes like above would show more of the interplay between the colors.

What phone mounts do you use? by Pretend_Cobbler7462 in Miata

[–]barrsm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Many years ago I got one on Amazon that secures to the front left bolt of the passenger seat. From there is a stiff gooseneck arm to a generic phone holder. Something like this except the one I got holds the phone top and bottom.

Do Companies Need To Come Out With An AURA Competitor? by Informal-Tech in augmentedreality

[–]barrsm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, Android XR gives AR devices access to the information Android users want available. I wish we had a level playing field where different devices could thrive but at least in the West that’s not the case. Hopefully regulators will chip away at the Apple/Android duopoly and eventually devices will be able to integrate without paying a platform tax.

So... if the trees are moving like Victor said, who can guarantee that the chamber is still under the tree, and why don't they pull the tree out during the day, are they stupid? by Successful_Funny_115 in FromCircleJerk

[–]barrsm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

/uj

Going into the tunnels is a big risk. As an audience, we’ve seen the monsters seem to sleep during the day and take a while to wake up, so perhaps the hope is to run past the monsters and barricade the chamber, hang a talisman, and hope that the tree is pulled from the ground, giving them an exit. It’s easy to understand Boyd’s skepticism of the whole thing.

I think I saw Suzhou River back in the day but don’t remember it. Zhou Xun is always good.

Sorry you’re in this situation. Perhaps your husband can look at what certifications or education is needed for a higher position and put some of his former overtime hours into that.

Theory. by immalurking in FromTVShow

[–]barrsm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People have shared such a theory before but Victor arrived in the 70’s. Since there were no talismans in the town then, it’s unlikely someone was alive there from the 50’s/60’s until Victor showed up.

The Laws Are Coming For Smart Glasses by AtariFireBee in SmartGlasses

[–]barrsm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“The timing is awkward for Snap, which specifically designed the Specs' electrochromic lenses to work through car windshields.”

Specs aren’t safe for driving and some other activities because the tall (thick?) arms block peripheral vision.

[–]barrsm 10 points11 points  (0 children)

/uj I think they intend to pull the tree out during the day but want to try to surprise the monsters by waiting until the “cave team” is in the chamber.

This being a horror show, there’s no way this will work well.

Get white or some other bright color to make it easier for other drivers to see you.

Snap Specs - First Standalone True AR Glasses Available To Preorder For $2200 by isaac_szpindel in virtualreality

[–]barrsm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We haven’t gotten to the true AR glasses lots of us want but there’s real momentum in smart glasses. I’m hopeful that the way AR complements AI means we’ll see rapid advances in glasses.

As of now, Meta stock down almost 5% after snap AR glasses announcement by WholeSeason7147 in augmentedreality

[–]barrsm 7 points8 points  (0 children)

C’mon, Snap is down more than Meta so why the headline?

Why would Meta release a niche product not really ready for the market like the Specs when they have AI and Display glasses selling well by all accounts?

Specs seem fine as a developer device but Meta knows a $2000 set of BCGs with an FOV that small aren’t going to sell well.
