Basically how I feel about @frooxius.bsky.social, Resonite and YDMS btw ...

Said another way - Public service announcement: It has been observed time and time again that being positive, genuine, kind, respectful, understanding, generous, giving credit where it's due are great ways to build lasting trust and fruitful collaboration, where people are happy to help you out.

There are more of us infatuated with handtracking on resonite and how to make it usable... We've even developed some complementary hardware. Come join us at the VR-HUG (hand tracking user group) events.resonite.com

Merci à Pénélope McQuade de @iciradiocanada.bsky.social de m'avoir invité à son micro ce matin pour répondre aux excellentes questions du public concernant les répercussions de l'IA sur nos sociétés.

Vectorized instructive signals in cortical dendrites - Nature Mice learning a neurofeedback brain–computer interface task show neuron-specific teaching signals in cortical dendrites, consistent with a vectorized solution for credit assignment in the brain.

This paper on how the brain may do gradient descent is very cool: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

How's the desktop getting in there? Doesn't look like the dashboard desktop ... Purely local or can others in the room see?

SIMA 2: A Generalist Embodied Agent for Virtual Worlds We introduce SIMA 2, a generalist embodied agent that understands and acts in a wide variety of 3D virtual worlds. Built upon a Gemini foundation model, SIMA 2 represents a significant step toward act...

The technical report with more details about our work on SIMA 2 is now also available on arXiv!

Thank you so much for doing this!

Epic!

Thank you WEF for the golf cart ride through Davos, but also (more importantly!) for the excellent questions about the future of AI. 🛺

Totally agree! My goal is to get a 3d visualization of a neural simulation (such as below signal propagation in dendrites) into resonite for teaching and demos, controlled live by a jupyter notebook also visible in world so ppl can follow along what I'm doing (our data APIs are in Python).

This is so awesome! For teaching and demos I want Jupyter live in resonite ... It could control live viz with your API, right? Is there a git repo available?

Yeah there's a big difference building your own dream ...

Dear Alfred, apologies for the delayed reply. Why exclude? Let's assert! I think that's what's going on ...

I think it's because you guys have your hearts in the right place, and are building the right thing. Actually I do believe resonite-style builder-focused social VR can disrupt how we work and teach ... And become very important for it

I need hand-tracking in social VR for my research, but gestures just don't work well. I invented a solution. I call it #CyberFinger. We shipped first beta-dev units in late 2025. Now its 2026 and it's really satisfying to start to get community interest and feedback ... here's one of my favorites👇

🤩Excited about ResoniteLink - it looks like yet another powerful science/exploration/experimentation/creation/customization-friendly feature has been added to my favorite social VR platform/engine #resonite

This CyberMonday, we are launching the #CyberFinger to creators and developers of the #Resonite community for a developer evaluation beta now at scicortex.com.

In what alternate universe would that be true???? This one: not a chance. Zero.

A glimpse at what #NeuroAI brain models might enable: a topographic vision model predicts stimulation patterns that steer complex object recognition behavior in primates. This could be a key 'software' component for visual prosthetic hardware 🧠🤖🧪

Five canonical findings from 30 years of psychological experimentation in virtual reality - Nature Human Behaviour This Review presents five canonical psychological research findings in virtual reality (VR) over the past three decades. These findings have been consistently replicated and are useful for both resear...

Five enduring, in-lab VR results (w/ @stanfordvr.bsky.social): (1) presence depends on activity, (2) self-avatars shape behavior, (3) VR better for procedural than abstract learning,(4) body tracking is powerful but privacy-risky, (5) people underestimate VR distance.

It matters @frooxius.bsky.social. You've achieved an amazing thing with the splittening (I didn't expect it so soon). @resonite.com and its community are awesome, and its exciting as a user to see how quickly things develop, while maintaining the open community spirit. Get some rest!

Congrats to @frooxius.bsky.social and team! Very exciting milestone for my favorite Social VR platform @resonite.com !
I'm def seeing a huge jump in performance! Looking forward to the larger events this enables!

I generally go Motorola for stock android. My provider had a crazy deal on a Motorola Edge ... basically free, and it has been great.

Congrats @clayreid.bsky.social @andreastolias.bsky.social @sebastianseung.bsky.social and the MICrONs team!
Glad to see this heroic dataset is finally out!
