I've been using the XReal One Pros for coding work for a few months now, and have had a great experience. For me, the ergonomic benefits are the selling point, not the display quality. Not having to sit hunched over a laptop screen for

It's probably not got the entertainment factor of Guitar Hero, but I'm working on an Android app that connects via Bluetooth/USB MIDI and teaches you sight reading. It starts with individual notes, then progresses to interval

There's a library Valve made for spatial audio for games (inc. VR). I've played around with it a bit, it's incredible. I'm surprised more games haven't adopted it. https://valvesoftware.github.io/ste

Keep in mind that the present value depends somewhat on the discounted future earnings, which by definition extends to the end of time. That being said, the associated time discounting heavily reduces the impact of earnings envisaged say 10

To provide some contemporary evidence to support your hypothesis that there were "luxury rocks" and that humans would be interested in such things, here is a gallery of various skins for a handheld rock in the videogame Rust. One

Just FYI, there is a fairly widespread issue with Nvidia drivers causing a slowdown (no matter how fast your PC). The game was basically unplayable for me until I found the solution. The fix is to run 'd3d_windowscursor' in the ga

You should look at Unity's high definition render pipeline. It uses physically based lighting so you can just e.g. look up the brightness of a particular light, enter it in, then it will render as you would expect. And yes, you're

Apologies, misread your comment as "won't frustum cull by default".

This is wrong. Unity has frustum culling enabled by default. You are correct that it only operates at whole model level though. Occlusion culling in Unity is fairly straightforward. Simply requires a bake. It also supports 'occlusion a

I'm not really convinced nor reassured by their supposed tests to prove the physics will work. The test involving the iPhone? That's like saying "well, a marshmallow can withstand 1g of forces without being crushed therefore

I disagree. I regularly downvote comments whose purpose is largely for humour. Not because they aren't funny/witty/clever, but because this is Hacker News, not Reddit. Let's keep it that way.

This is totally incorrect. Individual options contracts are indeed written against 100x of the underlying asset but this has absolutely nothing to do with the relationship between the price (premium) paid per contract and that of the underl

I agree, and the proposed solution which is to limit point gains/losses to one point per game feels like throwing the baby out with the bathwater. Specifically, convergence takes a long time, the result of which is that a very good pla

I propose a less effective, but easier to implement, way to optimise who to test. It relies upon a simple result from network/graph theory that I will outline here. Assume, if you will, that typical social networks contain a small numb

I released ModularPro, a tool for the Unity game engine to massively improve the process of assembling modular assets during level design. It started as a side project and I ended up releasing it in the Unity store. Would be great to get so
