1/9 📜On Friday, @HBCoop_ hosted a 3 Hour Twitter Space about latest developments in Generative AI and VR/AR (So far, 2,000 people tuned in!)

Speakers included:
@Scobleizer, @bilawalsidhu, @AnnGreenberg, @angrypenguinPNG

I used Claude-Instant-100K (not ChatGPT) to take notes. twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

2/🍏 The Apple AR/VR headset was a primary focus. Talk of eye sensors tracking your gaze, even predicting where you'll look next. Imagine typing just by looking at a keyboard? is the market ready for mass adoption? The next 6-9 months should tell. #AppleVR

3/📸 Ever heard of Neural Radiance Fields (NeRFs)? An AI takes 2D images, processes them and hallucinates a 3D scene. Luma AI was suggested as an accessible tool to experiment with this tech. #NeRFs

4/🎨 As the cost of creating content approaches ZERO, a democratization of 3D content creation is underway. Traditional media and content creation industries might face a major shake-up, allowing everyday people to participate and receive compensation for their contributions.

5/💼 The paradigm is shifting - we are moving from monetizing consumption to monetizing creation. With an explosion of content, new business models will have to evolve. The whole economic structure might change, and that's a disruption worth waiting for. #FutureBusiness

6/📲 Apparently mobile devices might be the gateway to spatial computing. With Apple focusing on phones and iPads, these devices will bridge the gap, allowing people to get acquainted with AR before headsets become mainstream. #AugmentedReality

7/💡 The potential impacts of VR and AR are mind-blowing. From immersive learning experiences, like watching live surgeries for training, to entertainment and even pain management. A snowball game in VR even reduced pain in burn victims 5x more than morphine! #SpatialComputing

8/👥 A big concern was the balance between the virtual and real world. If it takes off, how to we make sure we don't lose touch with reality? Humans can be weird sometimes, and that is a good thing and something we should embrace.

9/✨ That's my wrap of this week's AR and VR insights from Heather's 3-hour deep-dive Twitter Space.
