Since 2013, I have been focused on making more accessible tools & workflows for creating interactive 3D experiences and apps. Prior to that, I was (mostly) a software engineer for 14 years making apps and games.

I have various hobbies that stimulate my creative and technical brain. Right now I’m really into overlanding (vehicle based exploration and adventure).

👋 Hi Mastodon! Glad to be here!

You can expect all things Augmented Reality, Virtual Reality and Metaverse from my feed.

Interested in these topics? Let's connect!

I'm starting a new adventure at #Roblox today!

Roblox is uniquely positioned to transform how immersive virtual content is created and shared.

These opportunities have me incredibly excited to be working on the product side of the Roblox Studio platform.

It's actually pretty amazing that a open source product developed by a tiny non-profit, running on a network of servers self-funded by volunteer administrator and moderators has managed to absorb some portion of one of the world's largest for-profit social networks.

It's a miracle the whole thing didn't collapse or catch fire.

Great job everyone.

Ben & Jerry's made a cool TikTik on how to get the ~*~inside scoop~*~ on the money flowing into the 2022 midterm election using OpenSecrets - check it out! https://www.tiktok.com/@benandjerrys/video/7163369523784207662?amp%3Bsender_device=pc&amp%3Bweb_id=7161178423284041262&is_from_webapp=v1&item_id=7163369523784207662

A quick note of something that may be important for people to know: I already noted that DMs here are a bit sketchy security wise, but (THIS IS THE IMPORTANT BIT): if you mention someone else's account in a DM, Mastodon, yoinks them into the conversation.

So, you know, if you think you're talking about someone behind their back, you might be doing it to their face.

It’s been great building up my Mastodon timeline. I’m finding new, interesting people through timeline and hashtag browsing. Twitter seems to be full of folks dunking on Mastodon’s “complexity” — while I personally don’t see it, I’m fine with a little friction for the masses. 😇

(Also: holy shit I was able to edit this Toot!)

here's a free tip for all the #TwitterMigration people:

mastodon ONLY has text search for your toots, and the toots of people you follow, nothing beyond that, so you MUST use hashtags for others to be able to find things you post. And don't be afraid to use them, unlike the hellsite, mastodon doesn't limit your reach in any way based on how many hashtags or links you use in your posts :)

and there's an edit button too

Netflix made a #Roblox experience for #strangerthingsday and it’s really well done. Nice mix of light interactivity with streamed video. Nice polish on the UX and includes an option to hide all other players.
Even the average person with rudimentary Photoshop skills (and a dash of patience) can make their very own social media AR filter. Here's how. https://wired.trib.al/W5EPjpu
How to Use Effect House, TikTok's Augmented Reality Tool

From Paris to Dubai, I spoke with designers around the world about the process of creating AR effects for social media.

WIRED
I guess a bright spot of the AI creation wave is that @archillect can conjure its own imagery instead of ripping it from other people with absolute minimal attribution.
