Lilliputian hallucinations: “visions of pint-sized, elf-like figures – marching under doors, crawling up walls and clinging to furniture.”
…can we link this to body perception and create a VR version?

#HappyHolidays everybody.
Take care and see you next year ✌️

Coffee and quests
Day 2 of #UnitedXR
Quite the buzz as the expo hall is opening. Found some #damngood coffee on the way, too.
-> come by to try our medical use case 🥽 #INDUX-R
Picture of the panel members discussing : Beyond the Pilot: Scaling XR in Real-World Clinical Settings
Second #medicalXR session of the day - the first one was so full I couldn’t even get into the room 😅
@unitedxr.eu 💪
PANEL: Beyond the Pilot: Scaling XR in
Real-World Clinical Settings
Snap of the UnitedXR main stage featuring the hosts Alexandre Gerard and Ori Inbar
From hosting our #INDUX-R consortium at the Centre de l'innovation des #HUG to showcasing our use-cases at @unitedxr.eu Europe. #StartingNow #medicalXR
I’ll be in #Brussels the next three days - please reach out if you would like to connect.

Where’s an internet café when you need one?
🚀 We're hiring !
🕵️ Seeking a postdoc to study the development & individual-level organization of brain circuits supporting (in)flexible behavior in psychiatric populations.
🧠 Precision functional mapping, fMRI, normative modelling
Details 👉 tinyurl.com/3h8tcv2e
🗓️ Apply by Dec 10! Please RT 🙌
initial results are very promising - and we have created an incredibly flexible, cost-effective platform in collaboration with the University of Bern, the Institute for Medical Learning, and ORamaVR
Please get in touch if you're curious to find out more!

before obtaining their degree, medical students have to pass their #OSCE - Objective Structured Clinical Exams, the gold-standard assessment, involving actors as standardised patients.
Happy to share, we have created a #VirtualTwin of these exams, including auto-assessment: rdcu.be/eOzyX #medicalXR

home office vs remote conference presentation vs school holidays
Are they still made up once you start citing them? 😅
For science!
oh man. I never realised the young parents / I submitted at 3am emoji is finally here 🤣

gibt bestimmt auch samples für #JanDelay 🎙️
It’s so useful and unambiguous though when you use it correctly. maybe it’s a school book that was handed down and has your older sibling’s doodles in it… a stolen car… lab equipment when something suddenly does/n’t work.
Tried the tiramisu HMD now, too. Man. Kind of upset to go back to our standard headset 🤣 if they manage to combine this resolution with the FoV of the boba, we’re in trouble.
Hyperrealistic VR: a 90-PPD, 1400 nits and high contrast headset 😳

Awkward selfie wearing the meta boba headset.
Tried to find an opportune moment when the line to test the meta boba HMD wasn’t too long 😅 NGL that extended field of view is amazing 🤯 SIGGRAPH2025
General critique of VR demos remains that… we need bodies in VR 🤣 enough with the disembodied views.
“floating in a most peculiar way”

Art Gallery We Are Entanglement Fungi are everywhere, in the air, water, and soil, where they support and mediate between living and non-living. We Are Entanglement invites visitors into an immersive, interactive environment in which humans become part of the networks of communication through fungal networks beneath the floor of a forest. The artwork combines procedural modeling, generative Al, and dynamic simulation of vast numbers of living organisms. It is grounded in an imperative of drawing attention to the importance of nonconscious cognition and interspecies communication in biological and machine senses, as a reminder of the essential broader world around us.

or not. I’ll leave that up to you.
Here’s an interesting selfie (?) from the #SIGGRAH2025 art gallery. As you move around, or linger, your outline becomes intertwined / entangled with the fungi growing under a tree.
Kind of like being a postdoc.
wearing a parasitic fingerlonger with an LED at the end. It… it just moves around by itself. Carry on.
Parasitic finger poster. Apparently the idea is inspired by tentacles and we’ll leave it at that.
…or how about a parasitic finger?
another user wears a sensing / sending interface so that you as receiver can perceive the orientation and location of their touch… via tingling sensations
Project Description: Tele Touch : Human-to-Human Teleoperation with Bare Finger Tactile Sensing and High-Resolution Electro-tactile Display Tele Touch is a human-to-human teleoperation system enabling direct tactile communication. It uses a fingernail-mounted vibration motor with a 6-DOF sensor for touch sensing and a high-resolution, wearable electro-tactile display for feedback. AR integration synchronizes hand movements for intuitive remote interaction. Shoha Kon Michiru Sobue Izumi Mizoguchi Hiroyuki Kajimoto The University of Electro-Communications

some really cool / bizarre demos here 😅 always interested in haptic interfaces though. How about this referred touch interface? #SIGGRAPH2025
literally a wall of donuts 🍩

Next up at #SIGGRAPH2025
Workshop: XR in Medicine: From the Dev Floor to the Operating Room - curious about this one.
Most speakers are from the same company (illuminate surgical)
Good to see more #medicalXR at SIGGRAPH in any case 🥽
Large, dark conference room with a tiny speaker seen in the back (Ed Catmull) next to the projection screen showing Toy Story concept art with the “to infinity & beyond” slogan.
busy here
amazing to hear some of the behind the scenes stories… “Disney suggested a musical… and adding 5-7 songs. It worked for them” 😆
Off to see my first session - Ed Catmull on 30 years of Toy Story #SIGGRAPH2025
