Hi! I've been here for a while, but things really took off last few days Time for my #introduction.

I'm Ellen, 35 years, and i spend most of my available time either making NES displayable graphics, music & games, or the tools to make them in, or socializing in communities dedicated to the same things.

One game that's out is called Project Blue. It's a neat flick-screen platformer. Two more are actively in development.

@FrankenGraphics Interesting. Do you dabble in 3D design as well?

@localjoost Not since high school i'm afraid haha. Would *love* to get into it again some day, but got my plate full for the time being :)

@FrankenGraphics I see. Well good you have your plate full. I am a HoloLens developer, so working with 3D graphics. People working in the same field - or even adjacent fields are rare enough on Birdsite, let alone here

Have you tried the XR Web API on the new hololens? Did a few tests on the Quest 2 but was wondering how good it would look/feel on a AR headset like the Hololens.

@thoeby I have. I've built this native HoloLens app HoloATC and I made an experimental A-Frame version. It works on basically everything ;) https://holoatcbf3a.z6.web.core.windows.net/

@thoeby Are you a Mixed Reality developer as well?
Show threadthoebyNov 8, 2022

@localjoost Cool. Yeah, I mean I try to experiment a bit. I think this will be big in a few years so I want to be at least somewhat capable of knowing whats going on.

How did you get into AR? Work full time in the field?

@thoeby I am a Microsoft MVP, was invited over to the campus, and got half an hour of quality with the HoloLens 1 on November 4, 2015. I decided to pivot my career on the spot. Made some apps myself, did some project for a consultancy firm - small projects. Full time in MR since July 2020
