What’s an example of worse?
I wonder if it had to be called experimental in this headline.
It’s funny how often things stay the same in information technology just due to inertia. Yet the overall pace of change has been relentless.
It does, but not in the sense that it “repairs” them or whatever. There are plenty of natural fibers and styles of clothing that would be a wrinkled mess eventually if they were not ironed.
You may be use to synthetic fabrics or blends of synthetic and cotton that don’t wrinkle in the same way. And by synthetic, I mean petroleum based fabrics.
Aww you’re no fun. Stop with the nuance.
OpenGraph tags in particular? Or do you mean something else?
🙏 have you had the opportunity to travel to a different dark sky location yet?
I have wanted to make such a dark sky trip, and almost did in Feb. 2020 only to have something come up… you might be able to guess what.
Lots of great software ideas out there. It’s always the execution, availability of resources, and the reality of capitalism getting in the way.
He’s just an old man they can push around.
But the head of Nvidia says he’s very smart, and has a lot of stamina. He remembers everything.
I think that guy might be an impostor.

Some readers may recall the Lynx-R1 headset — it was conceived as an Android virtual reality (VR) and mixed reality (MR) headset with built-in hand tracking, designed to be open where others were closed, allowing developers and users access to inner workings in defiance of walled gardens. It looked very promising, with features rivaling (or surpassing) those of its contemporaries.
Founder [Stan Larroque] recently announced that Lynx’s 6DoF SLAM (simultaneous location and mapping) solution has been released as open source. ORB-SLAM3 (GitHub repository) takes in camera images and outputs a 6DoF pose, and does so effectively in real-time. The repository contains some added details as well as a demo application that can run on the Lynx-R1 headset.

As a headset the Lynx-R1 had a number of intriguing elements. The unusual optics, the flip-up design, and built-in hand tracking were impressive for its time, as was the high-quality mixed reality pass-through. That last feature refers to the headset using its external cameras as inputs to let the user see the real world, but with the ability to have virtual elements displayed and apparently anchored to real-world locations. Doing this depends heavily on the headset being able to track its position in the real world with both high accuracy and low latency, and this is what ORB-SLAM3 provides.
A successful crowdfunding campaign for the Lynx-R1 in 2021 showed that a significant number of people were on board with what Lynx was offering, but developing brand new consumer hardware is a challenging road for many reasons unrelated to developing the actual thing. There was a hands-on at a trade show in 2021 and units were originally intended to ship out in 2022, but sadly that didn’t happen. Units still occasionally trickle out to backers and pre-orders according to the unofficial Discord, but it’s safe to say things didn’t really go as planned for the R1.
It remains a genuinely noteworthy piece of hardware, especially considering it was not a product of one of the tech giants. If we manage to get our hands on one of them, we’ll certainly give you a good look at it.

“Oh, that seems expensive, can I use just three trackers instead of eight? Sure!”
Hopefully clever engineering can improve the system over time. Full body is cool.
