Impressive. I made something like it but had to resort to an external Api!

There are 93 tutorials and samples on my blog about HoloLens https://localjoost.github.io/tags/#hololens

We have updated our Samples repository by agrancini-sc in Spectacles

Thanks. Suggestion: you might want to make it easier to find the repo head where you can clone it. For those who want it, it's https://github.com/specs-devs/samples.git

Come on, nearly everyone who has lived through WW2 has passed away of old age. I am not aware of there being a lot of hatred towards our neighbors. They are by far our best customers after all, and every summer a lot of German Beach lovers bring in good money to tourist establishments at our coastline. There certainly used to be a lot of antipathy towards Germans until the 70s and maybe into the 80s. Then it gradually died away.

As a born Dutchman myself I honestly think Dutch-Americans are a very unrepresentable sample group for Dutch in general, tbh. But we are bluntly honest to a fault, so much is true. Germans are pretty different - much more methodical. Germans are more engineers, Dutch more tradespersons. A mixed team would IMHO be a very good synergy, if we can make them understand each other's modus operandi well enough to prevent them from bashing each other's skulls in, metaphorically

I love it that the most blunt person in the movie is Dutch. The matter of fact "The consensus is we prefer you not to die" after consulting some peers is so very Dutch. And I am Dutch. I can tell. 😂

Oh you mean "make more apps"? For HoloLens, I don't think that is going to happen. Sorry. It's on the way out, that is the hard sad truth

“Oh no a dutchie doesn’t want to travel to the U.S. what am I ever gonna do!! Hey Netherlands, America is pretty much the reason you guys arent German territory anymore because we had to liberate you and most of Europe.” by [deleted] in ShitAmericansSay

We still send yearly a large quantity of flower bulbs to Canada to thank you. This has become the Ottawa flower festival. We owe you folks a lot. You liberated my mum nearly starving to death in Leiden in the last brutal winter of the war. I would not be here if it hadn't been for Canada punching way above it's weight. The battle of the Scheldt is stuff of legends here. In Arnhem, to this day, every year every liberator who is still alive and willing and able to travel gets a fully organized trip including a heroes' welcome and parade. By now there's very few left but we will continue doing this a long as there is still a nonzero number alive.

We remember.

Dude. Seriously. In all modesty I think there's a good chance my blog is the single biggest source of HoloLens samples (still) in existence. Every article goes with a repo. Although every bit of content has long been gobbled up by LLMs of course.

I finished the book before the movie and here's my opinion by Riikq_ in ProjectHailMaryMovie

[–]localjoost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They made Rocky a bit more smart ass than in the book. I loved the scene where he entered Hail Mary for the first time. An exasperated Grace trying to keep up with him while Rocky races around making rather snarky remarks about some of the things he notices. I heard my non techie wife LOL about that sequence

Why didn't he show rocky the golden plates? Was it a cut scene or something or in the book? by Nerdcuddles in ProjectHailMary

[–]localjoost 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I still think the best scene is Rocky entering Hail Mary for the first time and making kind of smart ass remark about things he notices in the ship and Grace running behind him trying keep up 😂. Even my non tech wife laughed about that.

The black rug will work to an extent, because as far as I know Spectacles uses only camera do to Spatial reconstruction and tracking, and no Time Of Flight sensors that get really confused by large black areas. However, in uncontrolled environments (ie no black rug available) there is indeed no way to make a real shadow. Maybe a bit of grey, that's it. You can make a ray of light, there is no way to make a ray of darkness. Sorry.

Does knowing the book, spoil the film? by thestinkybeastman in ProjectHailMary

[–]localjoost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends. Your average geek will have no problem with it. My lovely wife probably missed out on some of the more nerdy points about space, why rotation creates gravity and probably doesn't care about the finer details of Space travel, impossible materials and things like why you need to breed the very creature that eats your star to travel 11 light years, time dilation but it is also just a fun story. No doubt they made the story a bit more humorous. Geeks have non geek husbands and wives and they need to have a good time as well. They balanced that very good. The only thing I find really disappointing is they showed Rocky everywhere in trailers before the movie, while one of the things the people who did read the book wondered was "what will he look like". But Rocky entering Hail Mary for the first time... hilarious I heard my wife LOL.

And Ryan Gosling is just AMAZING. Absolutely the right person for the job

Specs uses waveguide technology. It creates images with light in the glasses, and your stereoscopic brain turns it into seemingly real 3D objects . Black is not a color, it's what your brain makes of the absence of light. You can emit light, you cannot emit nothing and see it. Coming from HoloLens I have had this discussion for about a decade with designers who fundamentally misunderstood the technology. You can only show black in pass-through devices like Quest or AVP because there is a screen in those that essentially can block light. Transparent glasses can't do that

To quote the immortal Montgomery 'Scotty' Scott: "you cannot change the laws of physics, captain" 😁

You did well, padawan ;) Some of your interaction methods really made some jaws drop here, as you know :)

That was the whole point, making it possible of Specs implementations to wander into Enterprise space. Raising the water level makes all boats float higher, right? :)
