XR Women的动态

This XR Women post and video warms my heart ??. Community is the foundation of what Karen Alexander Sophia Moshasha & Sarah Klein started back in 2020 when we decided to learn every week about emerging technologies, and learn immersive together. This was the key. Sharing the same passion & mission with our goal, we created a community. ?? Today, 182 events later XR Women is breaking geographical barriers with a diverse and passionate global community 1000+ women strong ?? courageous, with grit and purpose. Every week a community of 30ppl meet every week immersive, as avatars from multiple countries. We learn about real world impact and emerging tech building around us. Our XR Women mission provides a platform for our XR Women Community to learn, connect & succeed. #XR #VR #AR #AI #Blockchain Key word = #Community. When people feel part of a community, trust is built and more likely to share ideas, offer support, and collaborate effectively. A sense of belonging nurtures open communication and innovation, allowing different perspectives to come together to solve complex problems. Key takeaway thought... ?? How does your organization/business meet the mission & values while building a community to engage with, enhancing loyalty, engagement and elevating trust during a time of complexity of connecting? By fostering trust, communication, and connection, communities will be the driving force behind successful collaborations, driving adoption creating an ecosystem for growth in an increasingly interconnected world. ?

This isn't just the future of sports viewing; it's a giant leap for immersive experiences. And here's the kicker—the NBA League Pass is currently on a slam dunk of a sale: just $15 for the season. Yes, you read that right. So, why am I sharing this? Because behind every game-changing technology lies an opportunity. An opportunity to innovate, to elevate your game, to connect with audiences in ways previously unimaginable.

Today, Ruth D. presented a mind-blowing session on her research and development of The Troll Project. It dives deeply into the hows, whys, and strategies of troll behavior to help us better understand people who choose to be disruptive in society, especially in communities like social VR, and how to respond and make our communities more inclusive. She demonstrated the different avatars used by many trolls, and those used by those who are most likely to be trolled and attacked in VR. We discussed the pros and cons and the psychological impact of the avatars. It was fascinating when she used avatars based upon beloved characters like Kermit the Frog, familiar trolls from video games, and Troll Face were found to be uncomfortable for those unfamiliar with the cultural references, but enjoyed by those who did. Understanding the psychology of avatar choices for all of us in virtual spaces, and recognizing when and if someone's choice is for deceptive, distracting, or evil purposes is more challenging that most of us expected. This event in VRChat was a perfect prep for next week's Troll Strategies event on Wednesday, Oct 23, in ENGAGE XR at 10:00 am PT / 1:00 pm ET / 6:00 pm UK / 1:00 am* Hong Kong / 4:00 am* Sydney https://lnkd.in/gZbwwWKY For the first time in many years, seasoned VR community managers are coming together in a unique opportunity to discuss how they navigate the challenges of moderating social VR at scale. The nature of managing any community means managing conflict, and in social VR, this also involves handling disruptors and trolls. This panel offers a unique opportunity to discuss practical strategies that prioritize community well-being while minimizing risks. Panelists will share their tried-and-true methods for addressing trolling strategies: * Emphasizing proactive engagement * Building community resilience * Supporting restorative justice within virtual spaces * Innovative approaches and tools to further empower community managers * Foster safer, more inclusive environments Whether you’re refining your community management techniques or exploring new ways to address trolling, this event provides valuable insights from those on the front lines of virtual community building. Join us for another powerful session exploring Cyberbullying and beyond!

Developed by solo creator Cameron Kostopoulos, "Body of Mine" isn't just your average VR trip, it's a walk in someone else's shoes... or rather, their entire being. This VR experience catapults you into a world where you can switch genders faster than a chameleon changes colors, all while diving into the profound seas of gender's gloomier water. Racking up awards -- including the Producers Guild of America Innovation Award, the SXSW Special Jury Award, and Games for Change's XR for Change Award -- and the runaway hit at the XR section of the Fondazione La Biennale di Venezia, this isn't just a tech-savvy fashion show, it's a profound journey into gender dysphoria, combining the latest in VR with real-life stories, making empathy more accessible than a 24-hour 7-Eleven. It's like being given the keys to a secret room of human experience, allowing both genderqueer and cisgender individuals to understand each other's worlds in a space safer than a pillow fort.

The Future of Virtual Reality and the Democratization of Soccer ?? Advancements in Meta’s virtual reality technology promise to revolutionize not only our VR experiences but also democratize sports like soccer. Andrew Bosworth, Meta’s CTO, envisions a future where VR headsets offer significantly higher resolution, wider fields of view, reduced weight, and superior audio quality. Key Advancements: ? Resolution and Pixels Per Degree (PPD): Meta aims for 50-60 PPD for clearer visuals. ? Field of View: Enhancing immersion with taller vertical fields of view. ? Weight Reduction: Decreasing headset weight by 100-200 grams for increased comfort. ? Refresh Rate: Maintaining a 120Hz refresh rate for smooth visuals. ? Audio: Improving stereoscopic audio with potential for closed-ear options. ? These technological advancements will make high-quality VR more accessible and affordable, leading to the true democratization of soccer and other sports. As VR becomes more widespread, virtual sports could not only be included in the Olympic Committee but also see a growing number of professional athletes. Future Implications: ? Inclusion in the Olympic Committee: Virtual sports could become official Olympic events, recognizing the skill and dedication of virtual athletes. ? Professional Opportunities: As virtual sports gain legitimacy, professional athletes could emerge in this space, competing in international tournaments and leagues. ? Global Participation: VR technology will enable individuals worldwide to participate in soccer, breaking down barriers and uniting fans and players in a shared virtual arena. ??? From BeFootball, our vision was clear from the very beginning; the union of sports, entertainment, and health through new immersive technologies like VR was something that was bound to happen sooner or later. We were just waiting for the technology to advance so we could see our goals/dreams a bit closer. Certainly, we are on the right path. #BeFootball #IMMsoccer #ImmersiveSoccer #Immersive #meta #quest #soccer

Mike Manzano dropped by the other day to play some games. And it made me think: Without knowledge sharing, there is no tech industry. Every Friday I get together with some friends for a VR coworking session where we share tips and tricks and just have some dumb fun together as our Apple Vision Pro Persona’s. Things always get weird and interesting. I probably wouldn’t even be as fascinated by VR today if it hadn't been for Mike sharing his passion with me, and now we egg each other on. He recently double-dog dared me to walk onto an airplane wearing my VR goggles. Not being one to turn down a double-dog dare even if it means being publicly embarrassed— I accepted. Ultimately these VR sessions and relationships I’ve built are a testament to the power of the community we have in the industry. That community of practice is reflected at Codingscape. We have regular show-and-tell sessions where we each share what we’re all learning, whether it’s new tools or ways of working. More times than I can count, I’ve walked away from those sessions having learned something I didn’t know before. It’s more than just an obligation, fostering community is something I’m deeply passionate about preserving. The future of tech relies on it. --- So- what games should we test out tonight?
