Home Sports is a collection of five sports that includes amazing AR pickleball and badminton, and a pretty good AR mini-golf. So I would recommend starting with it. But it does need quite a bit of space—about 2 × 1.5 m. I had to rearrange m

I get that there needed to be tradeoffs, I just disagree with this particular one. I could suggest many other ways to save ten bucks in hardware costs. Any other cost saving measure would still allow to play the same games, just with worse

Such a miss not having good full-color AR included. I’m a VR enthusiast with a Meta Quest 3, and it’s a shame that this headset is better than the Quest in every way except the most important one. In my opinion, VR gaming never becomes more

Glad that you used this exact example! This guy doesn’t have a photorealistic memory. At least it’s far from as good as it’s claimed to be. He’s an artist proficient in a particular style - better than most, but not superhuman. When he’s no

I mean - it's either similar or it's not. Things I see with my eyes are definetely photo-realistic. So mental visualisations similar to that would also be photo-realistic. If they're not - they can have interesting qualities,

Speaking of the Apple test, as many other commenters here I truly believe that people who describe themselves as being at 1 are actually much closer to 4, they just aren’t aware of it or don’t understand the concept well. https://

There's a guy who is a genius at creating Reface DX patches, and he uploads them all for free on SoundMondo. I recommend everyone checking this video to see how wonderful Reface DX can sound. After discovering those patches I've s

I have several artistic lives. My first one was in graphic design. I've studied it in college and done it professionally for many years. At first it was fascinating and artistically fulfilling. Each new logo was a small new adventure.

I am not happy or unhappy about it. I just don't have a moral problem with it. I did the same thing to get into the logo industry. In the process of learning I've analysed hundreds of logos made by other artists. I've tried h

When we get to $0 for any possible artwork of any quality - yeah, it's game over for everyone, the end of the industry. Right now we are far from it, thankfully. AI still can't produce usable commercial quality files. Most of them

Her style isn't original and unique to her from the art world perspective. There are dozens of people who draw exactly like this, and hundreds who can draw like it and just choose not to. This is not a criticism against her personally

Many services like that already exist - at this moment they are using stock images. Once AI generated images become as good and predictable as stock images - I have no doubt that the services will switch to them. But, stock images have exis

I am a guy who does those kinds of Fiverr commissions. Not the $10 ones, but plenty of $50-100 dollars ones. I have a lot of thoughts and concerns about the impact of Dalle-2 on visual arts as a whole, but I see no threat at all to my Fiver

Yes, Dall-e 2 is definitely much better at it than other current AI services. But, most people still don't have access to it. Like me for example. I've been in the waitlist from the start, got a cool portfolio - still didn't

Using existing logos for inspiration (like the NFL ones) is a tightrope because when you get inspired too much you get into legal problems. No one wants a plagiarised or copied logo. Every small borrowed idea, color, composition or a detail

Outside of my regular job, I am an indie folk music artist, trying to rise in the local music scene here in Dnipro, Ukraine. Even though learning to be a musician from scratch in my 20s was a hard process that took years and years, by far t
