I've gotten lots of feedback regarding the grab mechanic so I've decided to make it fully grab onto objects which is more intuitive, also Subside is getting closer to release, stay tuned for the official launch trailer

Today we’re introducing SceneScript, a novel method for reconstructing environments and representing the layout of physical spaces from @RealityLabs Research. Details ➡️ bit.ly/3x2cOzh SceneScript is able to directly infer a room’s geometry using end-to-end machine learning and represent it using language. Compared to previous approaches, this results in representations of physical scenes that are compact, complete, interpretable and extensible.

𓏠 Lego Cloud ☁️ Color data in the #Quest3 Passthrough isn’t _currently_ provided, so another benefit of networking #ARKit into #VR with Unity’s #Netcode is sharing that info (along with surveying the geometry of the room with #LiDar) #AR #XR #MixedReality #Lego #MadeWithUnity

Accessible design is good design. Very cool to witness @ForzaMotorsport welcoming more players to experience the joy of gaming through Blind Driving Assists, a new way to play made possible by co-creating with the Blind and Low Vision community.
The most accessible @ForzaMotorsport ever. Accessibility consultant @superblindman shares how he masters hairpin turns using Blind Driving Assists: xbx.lv/3LaM6Yp
