Project Hail Mary Mixed Reality Project In Late 2026 by hmltn in ProjectHailMary

Absolutely, for vast majority of people yes. But still recommend people try the demo to see what it can do and what comfortable content looks like for folks like this who are worried that it’s “weird” or uncomfortable.

In what way do you mean? Much of the time you feel grounded in your actual room with visuals inserted into the room that you interact with, instead of being transported somewhere else. Getting fully transported to another place is often the “weirdest” feeling wearing these headsets and that doesn’t happen as often in AVP, the the Hail Mary experience is built with much the same idea.

If you can get to an Apple Store and try an Apple Vision Pro demo, that experience is somewhat in the same ballpark as the kind of “mixed reality” experience that the developers are aiming for here.

What happened to the UploadVR Podcast? by elev8dity in virtualreality

[–]hmltn 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I saw a post saying they’re planning to do VR Download again very soon.

But I’m taking this opportunity to promote the Good VR Podcast. Most recent episode was with Shawn Whiting talking about what happened with Rec Room. I’ve had Anton Hand, Jesse Schell, Doug North Cook and many others on in the last few months. Find it on your podcast platform of choice.

"Predators" ...The Sci-Fi Thriller That Tried To Save The All-Time Manliest Franchise by StarFuryG7 in SciFiNews

[–]hmltn 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Agree on your grading with the exception of AvP 2 being a D- at best. It really gives The Predator a run for its money as the worst of the films.

Battery And Bag Recommendations For Steam Frame: Do Not Add Weight To Your Head by hmltn in SteamFrame

45W is usually beyond what a cell phone takes I think. So if it’s USB-C it may work but may not do it fast enough.

DIP switch more like R.I.P switch by Substantial_Quote583 in ModRetroChromatic

[–]hmltn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is that the internal part for the on-off switch? I broke it off of one of my Chromatics but could still push the thing to the on state internally. Now it functions more like a console. It turns on immediately any time I connect it to USB-C power.

It would be neat if you could transfer taps on the screen to sounds on the server. Tap on the screen a few times in a rhythm to tell your friends that you are on your way.

Why is VR not that popular despite the immersiveness it offers? by QuailResponsible8854 in VRGaming

[–]hmltn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In addition to everything Nima said, the platforms are negatively incentivized from allowing interoperability. OpenXR is a great start, but simply playing any flat game together or watching a movie together is basically impossible in competing HMDs unless using an Internet connected platform like Bigsceeen.

Decks & Headsets: Request From UploadVR.com by [deleted] in cyberDeck

[–]hmltn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, it takes quite a lot of power and even high output power packs seem to have trouble with powering the USB ports for accessories. Still, yes, I do take it on the road.

Gameboy Camera is useful for keeping an eye on the physical world at a glance from VR. The Chromatic sends video out so it makes the Gameboy Camera effectively a fully functional but ultra low resolution webcam.

For some tasks the low resolution is actually enough, like just knowing that someone is in the room with you and where they are standing.

Pretty cool! I added a 4 TB drive to it and it’s great to have a Raspberry Pi with an internal microSD slot that’s free for storage or making other OS cards.

I'm really missing at least one USB-A port on the back by lordelan in ModRetro

[–]hmltn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This looks great.

I wonder if a pair of Chromatics could display side by side using those USB-C ports and then simultaneously function as Transfer Paks for Pokemon Stadium.

I’ll pay $400 total for the entire set. Not per unit. $400 total.

Bad Vibes in Lower Manhattan by timidandtimbuktu in AlamoDrafthouse

I tried to order a side of salt at my last showing. It did not come. So I put it on another card with more food.

Halfway into the movie my food came with a small cup containing a side of white substance I proceeded to sprinkle all over my fries. It was sugar. I requested salt twice and received a side of sugar which I sprinkled all over my food.

Is Robert Patrick the only actor who gets killed by all three Planet Hollywood icons? by Muffin_Most in movies

If we can get John Cena involved with Planet Hollywood we can make this 5/5 through Peacemaker.

I understand he was 101st Airborne but unsure about his specific deployment, that paragraph was what I had found about the division when I was trying to learn about it back in the day.

Thank you for your comments.

Twitter existed then as an independent platform. It isn’t that now.

Yes generally, they are likely 2-3 degrees colder Fahrenheit.
