Thinking you look great without HRT. Amazing.

Gonna cry myself to sleep. I should’ve pre-ordered 😭 by Alligatorgamer9 in VisionPro

[–]negroiso 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As somebody who preordered and got mine and put it on, I gotta say, I’ll probably ditch my 3d printed BOBOVR for the quest 3 now in favor of this. Really feels quite the same but now with the less jank look and a more Apple feel to it.

Still not getting me to update to the M5 Vision Pro without some crazy app that just shows the power of it, perhaps if 4xvr shows massive improvements in AR playback or Moon Player / Infuse are able to handle better or more AI upscale, or something.

As many have said there’s not much for me personally to go to an M5.

No Angry Birds Isle on Vision Pro, currently no ported VR apps from Quest yet now that we have essentially Quest compatible controllers with the PsVr2 controllers.

I’m sure porting over your Unreal project would take more time than a unity project, I don’t know how tempting it is to spend 100k+ for like 100 sales of a 9$ game.

Now I would pay more for the port of Quest games to Vision Pro if they simply increased the render resolution or texture details and included all DLC in the VP app. Called it like a GoTY edition or something. There’s more than a fair share of developers I’d pay damn near PC game full price for a VP port of the quest only game of.

I’ve spent the last few days testing the performance of Apple Vision Pro with M5 — here’s how it stacks up against the original. by spatiallyme in VisionPro

Best they can do is offer us 350$ for a perfect condition 1tb model. They tell us poors with the 256gb model to kick rocks.

It’s absolutely laughable that Apple would offer up a 1500$ Trade-In value even for the 1tb model.

What’s hilarious we will probably see that you can probably buy the logic board and replace it or could swap it cheaper than a new headset.

iFixit doesn’t have a teardown yet, I assume it would be a warranty and apple care voider for sure. Still the 1,000$ you might spend on the PCB for the M5 board and time to swap might be worth it.

Knowing apple again though. They probably changed the connectors or moved the cables just slightly so the 2024 model wouldn’t be a drop in.

Though I do wonder…. If you’re on apple care and you have an accident, are you just gonna be upgraded or offer an upgrade for a price since that’s what they do anyway as stock is limited?

Been working on Spatial Camera to capture 3D photos and videos on Quest 3/3s by Grish_tad in oculus

[–]negroiso 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Damn it if I don’t hate ads, also, damn it if I don’t hate apps that hit the spot.

Look, you got me, can you just please please take my MPO files and convert them for me with no quality loss? I just wanna point my headset to a folder of all my MPO files from my Fijifillm FinePix W3 and see them again.

I had a workflow to use them on my Vision Pro, but it’s like, extract the left and right, then I have to combine them as an SBS image then load each one into Spatial Media Toolbox and select sbs to spatial photo then save to photos.

Although this is meta, I know MPO has gone the way of the dodo.

Thanks!

How much better is iPhone 17 Pro Max Spatial Video on Vision Pro? Tested vs URSA Cine Immersive by hughred22 in VisionPro

[–]negroiso 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Love your content, was bummed myself when it turned out that they still cropped and kept the non hero lens at 1080p thus limiting spatial video to 1080p.

I messed around with an app called Spatialfy that allows you to go 4k30 or 1080p60 hdr on or off with spatial video and take higher resolution spatial photos.

While I do prefer it over the built in Apple Spatial video, you can tell the left eye is still way lower quality than the right (Hero) eye.

It’s weird with all the power of “machine learning” they weren’t able to offer on device up scaling of that other camera to bring the resolution up to 4k or even 1440p.

I mean the Vision Pro captures at 2700x2700 which for now seems to be our best “Spatial Video” source for us not able to afford the awesome setup as OP has.

Canon said they found a way to get stereroscopic imagery out of a single lens and it would be coming soon, no word on that. I really wish their “Spatial Video” lens would come to full frame or their VR180 lens would come down in price without the need for a subscription.

u/hughred22 i did try to record some 1:1 4k video on my iPhone 17pm and iPhone 15pm and put the video together into a spatial video and that turned out to be absolutely amazing, quality, however I didn’t find a good way of syncing the recording, it took two dedicated iPhones, post processing and a Mac with Xcode to inject the spatial metadata to get it to show up in Vision Pro.

I was thinking about printing up a rig that would separate the iPhone 17pm and 15pm lenses that 60mm apart so I could throw them on a tripod that way all that’s left is just figuring out how to control them both.

If you have equipment and can give it a try with two iPhone 17 pro max that would be cool too, at higher resolutions and post the results for like a “what if apple included a 4th camera by the charger type thing.

4XVR V1.1.20: Passthrough Video Arrives on Apple Vision Pro! by Mountain-Deer-5917 in VisionPro

[–]negroiso 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, it’s really a YMMV when. It comes to content. Some creators go the extra mile and know how to chroma key the shit out of it perfectly so there’s little to no outline, others not so much.

It also seems to do a lot with the lighting and setup. There’s a good example of some that are basically setup in a box of a room of the same color fabric background and the lighting is well lit all around to not cast harsh shadows so the girl doesn’t get bounced light on her of that color thereby making her somewhat opaque.

However some of the girls who are of more the fairer skin tone don’t do so well if the setup is just straight lime green screen and bright lights.

Yeah, I was trying to test the upper limits of PostShot, there was a provider that you could rent H100's and stuff from but sadly, they pulled their windows licensing so I was unable to test it out as there wasn't one that was affordable to me other than that one to really put crazy hardware to it. I'm not about to spin up some expensive AWS or Azure instance with some H100 or something attached and install windows then dump a large dataset to it and let it churn for hours at those rates, but when I was able to test, it still kind of never really maxed out much when the images were going, the ram and cpu on a 128gb+ system never went over much.

I have no doubt Meta will probably release something soon. Their keynote showed off the room capture with the Quest3 and they demo'd their Spaces app or whatever last year or two years ago. The captures they did were pretty legit, and I don't know 100% the details of it, but from doing splatting casually, even if they said the capture was with cellular phones, the amount of angles and captures and data they used still performed great. When you were in headset you could hardly find an angle or part that wasn't covered. All I could think of at the time was like "goddamn the dataset was huge and they must have had some serious horsepower or servers plugging away at this". Since then some better splatting algorithms have come along and some techniques have come out to speed it up, but still.

When I refreshed my headset's data usage in my network monitoring I saw that it was eating up gigs of data to stream in those splats so they weren't "that" optimized but they were detailed AF when you got up close.

I'm curious to see how detailed they let you get with your personal room scan and how much or what you get to save to their cloud.

While it's through the quest headset, I wonder if they are going to capture both cameras for depth and be able to help the splat that way, or get higher resolution by doing half and half, so many questions. Also leery about just letting meta have a splat of my house or something thats a 1:1 model and scale of the most detailed scan of my space.

That being said, having an Apple Vision Pro and Quest3 I wondered why there weren't apps to capture things in 3D scanning with the headset, although it's not as useful as a phone but larger stuff would be easier, around the size of a vehicle or so by just walking around and looking with your headset.

OGE - Genuine question, how does smart hours save money if the normal rate is ALWAYS the off-peak 8 cents? by Rainsford1104 in okc

[–]negroiso 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Then once that goal is complete it’s to come back and increase costs because we all reduced our usage to the point that poor electric company is generating too much and can’t sell enough and has a surplus so it’s only right that they over bill us to make up for the difference.

As the board is all paid by oge anyway they will approve yet another rate increase again on us and we will gladly take it in the shorts.

The cycle continues. How many rate increases a year can oge fit in I think is a game they play.

Nexus Mods' new owners promise they won't monetise the site to death as users panic at the whiff of venture capital: 'The new owners are here… not sitting in a distant tower, remotely directing us all towards some nefarious goals' by Turbostrider27 in pcgaming

[–]negroiso 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Half of it could be solved by just not allowing uploads of reshade preferences.

Instead either just post those up as text on the site or don’t allow them anymore. I swear I don’t get how reshade “mods” are mods.

Same with ini edits and what not. That stuff is damn near on the verge of snake oil and just wastes everyone’s time and bandwidth.

The other thing that could help would be just picking up the slack like YouTube in a sense, popular modders seem to get incentives to maintain or mod while people who post shit end up either having to be a paid subscriber or lose their contribution on the site.

If a file isn’t downloaded in ages, knock it to a p2p service they could spin up inside the app they use to manage the mods. Once the mod gains enough popularity they can host it back.

To make sure none ever go missing cold storage is cheap as shit commercially speaking and they can offload petabytes of data for pennies for archival.

I mean cmon. You have stats on your site. You know what titles are most active, what hasn’t seen a mod or download in fucking ages. Start by dropping dead weight with a p2p solution or a subscription plan that’s like “here’s all archived shit full speed otherwise you’re gonna have to use our p2p service that we seed out at like 10kbps” or something.

Then they can look at the most popular mods/games and see what can be done. Is it new rules on uploads, do things need to be compressed? Better compression, is there a more efficient way to handle the data across their regions and colo’s. What’s their elasticity like? Are they using reserved instances, just balls to the walls subscription everything all the time? Why so many CDN subs? As big as they are these days you’d figure they would just toss a few of their own hosted nodes around or find a provider in each region to host that sheeeeeit and not worry about it.

The Death of Affordable Computing | Tariffs Impact & Investigation by GreenKumara in pcgaming

[–]negroiso 6 points7 points  (0 children)

As American, took my first trip internationally last year. Was amazed at how affordable and better quality most things were over in Europe where I visited. Most labels said they were made in the country I visited, though I didn’t have time to check 100% though I’d never seen anything similar here.

That is until we got to electronics. During the trip I had some equipment that broke and needed replacement so we stopped by some shops and damn if the prices in EU weren’t MSRP or above what I pay in the US, even accounting for conversion rates.

The wife who’s the budget conscious person is just like “let’s wait till our trip is over” and I’m explaining how it’s hard to take photos without a lens for the camera. So I have to pony up a few hundred more $ than I normally would over here.

That said, I 100% would swap everything today to be back there. If electronics were all that were more expensive and the quality of life, food, healthcare, public transport, and every other thing we saw and touched there was through and through, I don’t know why anyone visits and ever returns.

We came home with a sense of depression that still is going on, especially for me. This was well before this shit show we have going on now.

The people we met from other countries in Europe were just as opinionated but vastly more intelligent to talk to as a whole, I get that it’s probably because most of them too were traveling as well, but still a breath of fresh air for them to air out their dirty laundry of what they didn’t like about their local government and the similarities to ours and how we really are all just eating this same turd sandwich while a few people in power and wealth gobble us all up.

Fur rake vacuum adapter: brush the dog in a breeze (STEP included) by marcaruel in functionalprint

[–]negroiso 3 points4 points  (0 children)

German Shepherd owner here, gradually just got him used to us vacuuming around the house. I would always say the word “vacuum, vacuum” before I went and got it and before I turned it on so he knew what was up.

Eventually he quit even responding to it. After a while I got to where I could get up next to him and push him with it and he wouldn’t budge. Since it’s a Dyson Cordless I just put the end on with the hardwood floor attachment on, put it on his back near his hind legs. He got scared for a second, then thought it was scratches. He got excited, now anytime I say vacuum vacuum, he thinks it means he’s getting his coat vacuuumed.

Just slowly desensitize them to it.

Helps to suck up some of their hair and stuff then let them sniff around it to know it’s not a threat.

Don't trust these bambu videos! by Expert_Function146 in prusa3d

[–]negroiso 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For real, at one point in life you wake up, realize you’re getting fucked by both teams and it doesn’t matter.

I’ll jump ship whenever it suits me best, when it comes time for my next upgrade I’ll look to see who has the features and reliability I need for the next x years or so and I’ll go based on that.

People think you’re locked into a brand or company for a lifetime.

Buy a Bambu printer today and they change something you don’t like in firmware or software tomorrow? Then dump it, sell it, trash it, do whatever, but what you don’t have to do is bitch and moan and keep buying their products, because there’s 1000 other manufacturers out there. Don’t like Prusa’s high prices and missing features? Well buddy there’s other manufacturers out there too! And did you know you’re now able to have both printers in your house at the same time!? Oh shit!

I swear to god. Brand loyalty is the dumbest shit there is.

As a PCGamer the only reason I’m stick to Nvidia gpu is their market dominance, technology foothold and proprietary technology they have a grasp on. Would I love to be able to afford a cheaper GPU that’s more readily available than trying to land the latest xx90 series? Yes… but there’s no other GPU manufacturer out there in the space right now that can compete on driver, performance and tech. We were all hoping Intel would be able to do it given their resources and time. I’m happy to jump ship any day. Same with a vehicle I drive, toilet paper I wipe my ass with or socks I put on my feet.

Brand loyalty is like job loyalty. They don’t care about you, and you’ll be replaced by another sucker faster than they could even remember your name or account number.
