@gruber PQ3 is cool and all but I’m pretty sure that 99+% of iMessage users would prefer even the most rudimentary spam filtering instead. Maybe someone with a large reach amongst Apple developers could make mention of that… :)

Via @neilhimself on Bluesky, an interesting post from @ronbrinkmann about the potential for comics in the Vision Pro.

I’ve been thinking a good bit about the potential for this, a more dynamic reading experience, like Comixology’s guided view (RIP) but not constrained to the limits of a window.

Separate layers in 3D are a gimmick, granted, but still add a ton. Imagine speech bubbles or SFX set off the page (like in Marvel Snap).

Apple Vision Pro – What About Comic Books?

@gruber I sure can't seem to find any info on what people with bifocals should be doing with Vision Pro inserts... is the distance prescription the important one or the near-focus?

@erictopol have they not published any results in the Paxlovid-for-children trial that Pfizer initiated in March 2022? I can’t find anything…

Before I ever played Half-Life: Alyx - the most transformative #VR gaming experience I've had to date - I got to explore a street scene from the game that they released standalone. No game play here - just exploring the detailed environment on foot with ambient audio. Sold me on the game right there.

I've since wished studios would release environments from their games for VR in this same manner. There are countless #TLOU and #Uncharted 4 environments I'd love to just walk around in and absorb.
