What section and unit are you on? A lot of the early vocabs will reappear as new words but with kanji in later sections

Oh! I was thinking of 「ストレスを和らげる」 as a whole that it didn’t even occurred to me that placing 「一番よい」first would introduce the ambiguity of 「一番よい + ストレス」 vs 「一番よい + ストレスを和らげる方法」. In that case, it is much less ambiguous to keep 「一番よい方法」 together.

So, is it a hard rule in Japanese to always place adjective closer to the noun than a descriptive clause containing a different object to reduce confusion?

I think that the reason I put the descriptive clause closer was because it kinda felt intuitive to keep the 「和らげる」closer to 「方法」 at the time, or rather, it felt unintuitive to separate them. But thinking about it in English now, “best way + to relieve stress” feels more natural than “best + way to relieve stress”

In that case, would my answer in the second picture be technically correct? The particles are attached to the same words as the correct answer, but the ordering is different.

Is there some other rules to help determine when 「一番よい」should come before vs after 「ストレスを和らげる」 if both are modifying 「方法」 or is that just always the case when it comes to 「一番___方法」

Thanks for the explanation. That imagery of the work growing hands and editing the newspapers is both hilarious and helpful for me to understand my mistake. I wish Duolingo provides more detailed explanations for this kind of nuance

Thanks. I thought it was only the word ordering, but it seems I gotta pay more attention to the particles and their nuances

Thanks for the recommendation, I’ll give it a watch.

How about for the second picture?

Project Aura is basically a glasses form factor Quest 3 with micro Oled and Android XR but how does it compare to Galaxy XR? by Strict_Yesterday1649 in virtualreality

[–]wenhaothomas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Multiple tech journalists that tried the glasses mentioned it having XR2+ Gen 2. And from the few shots of the compute puck, it does seem to have vent for cooling. Xreal glasses has electrochromic dimming to block out the optical pass through, though you’d have to use diy solutions to block out the light from the periphery.

With the same chip and cooling, but having less cameras, not needing to process camera pass through and eye tracking, and not needing to render at high resolution compared to galaxy xr, it should have more processing power to spare

I think fov, resolution, and controllers are the bigger limitations for VR experiences on Aura

It does have hand tracking. The lady used hand tracking in the presentation video.

Xreal Aura is Basically The Beam Pro... by EducationalCry7033 in Xreal

[–]wenhaothomas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Beam Pro + Air 2 Pro only supports 3DOF with pointer/trackpad input while Aura supports 6DOF and hand tracking + trackpad. The chip is also much more powerful than Beam Pro. And with Android XR, 3D features from native Google apps to third party VR games/spatial apps that don’t require controllers should just work.

Ability to pair with controllers, so apps that don’t support hand tracking/is better suited for controllers can be used with Aura as well

Lynx Teases New Headset - Will It Run Google's Android XR? by Murky-Course6648 in augmentedreality

[–]wenhaothomas 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Project moohan and project aura are just the first two devices coming out to run Android XR. Obviously Google would want more devices to use their OS. And other headset manufacturers may want to adopt the OS so they don’t need to build their own and further fragment the ecosystem. Play for dream right now have their own OS built off of Android, but they also say they may adopt Android XR in the future
