Yes, they could have done the same thing with an Android WebView. But the Chrome team is actively working on implementing WebVR (which also want to support many AR use cases) so they already have a native (= higher performance, lower latenc

There's actually a couple of Chromium-based browsers on there, Samsung Internet for GearVR which has been out and quite popular for 360 video watching (Youtube.. etc.), and Oculus just came out with theirs.

Yes ideally they'd be able to be composited together at the depth buffer level. But even separate I can see a ton of devs making some very cool more UI-centric applications just with CSS mode. Can't wait to see the webdev communit

Really looking forward to the the stereo rendering of non-WebGL content, HTML+CSS, which the Mozilla team is working on. More challenging path to figuring out but will open a lot of possibilities.

On the Gear VR (dev kit, 2014) there was a 2.5k screen at a smooth 60fps. The consumer Gear VR coming out this fall will likely have a 2.5k screen but we'll likely see 4k screens on mobile headsets in 2016. 120fps will be a nice improv

I don't disagree completely but underlying the growing excitement was for the past 18 months (since Abrash, etc. started talking about VR and presence as something incredible, game-changing and deliverable in around 2 years) was in lar

Jeff is speaking from a position of not having tried the good stuff that delivers a sense of 'presence' in the virtual world. That is the game changer, the thing that is making people believe something special is on the way. When

It's less about the mobile as in using-while-walking-around than the ability to have with you wherever you're at and not tied down to the context of sitting in front of a PC. VR is for everywhere: the couch, the kitchen table, in

Yes, while the current dev kit would have a hard time being a consumer success for easy to point out reasons, knowing that the consumer version will be qualitatively 10x-100x better (~4x resolution, content availability & quality, bette

This kind of hits the nail on the head. An idea is in many ways the context by which you judge a startup team in terms of a core commitment to a common goal, as shown by working on it together for a period of time (more than a week, etc.).

Perhaps the whole idea of the noidea app set the stage for the disaster that was S12. Even though only one noidea app was accepted strictly speaking perhaps both a signal sent that the 'idea bar' was lowered and and a lowering of standards.

Interesting that however fast the startup world runs there are often ideas that are sat upon for years that still remain viable, without direct competitors coming on the market (and the idea still being one that is good). I bet it's a fairl

Simple. Do some monte carlo comparisons between a large number of generated functions, based on various heuristics like number of instructions. So quickly get rid of explicit mapping of tests, especially if used larger. Add some genetic alg

It's a basic economic principle that if supply decreases with the demand staying the same the price will go up, and a sudden, unexpected decrease in supply will lead to activity of buyers to look elsewhere to meet that supply. Basically, wh

A non-square grid would itself not be an issue but if you want to do multiple LED strings as would be needed for a 10x50 grid the code might need to be modified to have multiple data outputs for each string. You should be able serially conn

Why 36 hours? For the 24-hour hackathons I usually stay up the whole time but 36 plus the surrounding time might be pushing it. I'll try it though :) I see that the tickets are limited in numbers based on what they bring to the table: dev,
