Snapchat just unveiled their new AR glasses called Spectacles ’24. They feature a better field-of-view, nicer resolution, and hand-tracking. It's designed for developers and available now for $100/month with a one-year commitment ($1,200 total)

Found some time to add scene collisions to my Vision Pro playground, and I did not expect this level of accuracy!

🤯 wow, love to see people experimenting in mixed reality with #MetaQuest3
Dr @MarcoGilardi81 experiement of mixed reality prototyping in @ShapesXR using @Meta Quest 3. The door is open to endless possibilities! [3D model 'Camera Limits Demo: Van Gogh - Bedroom in Arles' by @Sketchfab, licensed under CCA] @UWSKTP @UniWestScotland @SchoolCEPS @UWS_CPD

I spent an hour exploring the concept of 'magic door' using @ShapesXR interactions on #Quest3. I can think of some applications of magic doors for #mindfulness, #realestate, #heritage, and #tourism #VR apps. @SchoolCEPS @UWSCCT @UniWestScotland @UWS_CPD @UWSKTP @ResearchUWS

#Mixedreality is here and is just going to become more accessible as we move forward. You can #design and prototype together in @ShapesXR right now... with just a little help from the #technology #Meta and #Apple have already built 😉

Scaling Transformer to 1M tokens and beyond with RMT Recurrent Memory Transformer retains information across up to 2 million tokens. During inference, the model effectively utilized memory for up to 4,096 segments with a total length of 2,048,000 tokens—significantly exceeding the largest input size reported for transformer models (64K tokens for CoLT5 (Ainslie et al., 2023), and 32K tokens for GPT-4 (OpenAI, 2023)). This augmentation maintains the base model’s memory size at 3.6 GB in our experiments abs: arxiv.org/abs/2304.11062 github: github.com/booydar/t5-experi…
