They also acquired 250 people who they are now laying off and Weta is rehiring. Seems like a disaster of a deal by Unity. Weta just got free money for a snapshot of their code.

That’s fine, but it’s okay to call out the author’s bias. They contributed wonderful tests of the limitations of the headset. But the headset is only a failure for the authors use case. (AR)

That is a valid problem, but with MR pass through there is also a compute issue. The cameras are not in the same location as the users eyes. They have a wider parallax than the users eyes and are forward several inches. There is no simple t

This is the same person who did comics at Google. Their work was a highlight during my time there. Google even used their comics for basic employee training. I’m surprised folks say that we can’t be critical of own employer. Our employers a

Isn't that what VecLib is for? Also there are other math libraries to use on ARM. I think we use EigenBLAS in our products.

This article opens up with a mistake? It's 7 yuan per dollar. Not the other way around.

This likely won't work too well because the Pixel and S8 are the only ones they have camera and imu calibration for. If you do hack it to get it working, you should at expect degraded performance or complete failure.

I've been looking for something like this. Massif makes it look like my code is reasonably healthy. HeapTrack shows I'm doing absurd number of small heap allocations.

I believe depth of field is only a function of aperture size and not focal length.

The mask kinda looks like a cosine filter rather than just a simple grid to make many pinholes. If so, then it might be a small version of heterodyne light field camera. http://web.media.mit.edu/~raskar/Mask/

This was filed also before the re-org to Alphabet. I'd imagine that future patient filings would say Calico or Alphabet instead of Google Inc.

I remember the same thing. I thought there was some form of fraud associated with this because the electrodes would only work for a little while. I thought there was a malpractice suit about patients being left with a bunch of unremoved wir
