No Netsurf. I guess thats why you also switched off access on google search pages too because unless a browser is bigger than 1G its not a real browser?

+Coneheads and Telepathy.

Yeah a phone is a 5d FOV. its appauling.

Right now I'm using Picobot on my Vision Pro in a Linux Riscv5 emulator. Some might say thats 3 evils in one.

This strikes me as a distinct negative about tech that only bothers with the display and needs and external processor. I guess the MetaVRGlasses must be sending that down the optical channel too.

I guess it depends on your view of what portable is. Lugging around a tablet size thing seems a bit odd when glasses solve both in one device. My aim is one pair of glasses that have enough grunt to run Linux on the device. Most likely candidate is Meta VR glasses right now but perhaps Apple might do something late in 2027 (I hope)

they have bad vertical FOV too. Meta VR Glasses will be much better for this.

definitely I'm looking forward to Meta VR glasses because they will let me do what I'm doing right now on A Vision Pro. Typing this using a VM running Debian 13. I'm running a Picobot agent and chatting with it about Neuromancer. I can do this because I run Anjin Virtual Computer. There are two software issues in VR, breadth and depth. Running Linux at least gives a lot more software. In time people will fill in the deep experiences that full 3D UX needs but for now its been helpful to run mobile apps and other OS's. On Quest and GXR I can run Windows XP.

Interesting

It's actually embarrassing the number of new things we do in XR thanks to Anjin Virtual Computer from RiscV verilator to IBM 360 mainframe to Ardupilot drone sims.

The beauty of booting a full OS means we really can make software that works as though its on a real device

In one of our sub projects using Anjin Virtual Computer-

We really are emulating an XR headset inside the Galaxy XR. That hasn't been done before- with a real OS that boots and a stereo passthrough renderer. Can't explain it clearer than that.

Here's another video that shows it. Look closely at the lenses of the virtual XR headset.

No I don't work at Samsung. I work on the Côte d'Azur in a small village called Saorge. I do indie XR development and so it nice of you to believe.

I'm sure they are monitoring these posts though and will get right on it ;-)

Its is a fully networked PC it even runs ROS and AI just like a normal computer. It has OpenGLES acceleration so can run 3D graphics or AI stacks. Its main use is for in-world robotics simulations. We have holodeck and NPC components as extensions which allow a complete sim for Robotics.

Some of this you can see in my X posts (old twitter)- we have emulated many systems under Linux from IBM 360 through to RiscV verilator. Even drones running Ardupilot. It's incredibly powerful.

better yet download it, it speaks for itself.

FYI- If you look very closely at the video tile on the bottom left you will see XR inside XR. You can't get that capability anywhere else.

The PC is in a passthrough environment with the screen floating in mid air. I use it on a daily basis.

This is our promo video and its very clear it's in XR with passthrough. https://studio.youtube.com/video/At7KdrGfTTg

We also have a number of XR widgets which are not enabled by default (Holodeck for example). They will be turned on soon in a pro version so if thats what you're looking for I am delighted!

Try the download if you don't believe me.
