The Vision PRO Experience: Can It Replace Traditional Movie Theaters? 36:53

In this episode, I'm taking you on a journey through the world of immersive video using the pricey Vision PRO headset. We'll explore how it stacks up against its contenders like the Meta Quest, especially when it comes to price and versatility. Is it truly the VIP ticket for personal streaming that could replace your cinema experience? Or is it a costly gadget that falls short in creating the communal vibes we crave? You'll hear about my adventures in porting animations from Unity into the Vision PRO, where I used an Analog-AR headset, equipped with a phone, to test the AR waters right in my living room. As an animator and AR developer, I'm pumped about the ways this tech could revolutionize filmmaking and production, but there's no shying away from its current limitations and hefty tag. We'll also discuss the nuts and bolts of working with Unity's render pipelines. Get ready for a technical tango between URP and HDRP, where we dodge the dreaded pink materials and tackle shader snags. Can HDRP's high fidelity be harnessed for mobile AR? Is it possible to create an animated AR paradise as a screensaver for your real world? We'll find out. Plus, as an MD PhD student deeply entrenched in integrated neuroscience, I've got a keen eye on how these immersive experiences could play a role in medicine. From research to relaxation, we're pushing the boundaries of what AR can do for us, both in our health and hearts.

I am a content creator, I create comics and cartoons using emerging technology to inspire, educate and entertain people. I want to make Black people enjoy their experiences, that’s what I do. Med school has caused me to take an introspective approach in finding ways to integrate the arts into healthcare education, allowing people to explore themselves or explore the things that happen within them, thus creating an immersive experience for patients and professionals alike, as health education is essentially learning about ourselves and what works and what doesn’t work with ourselves. It’s all about helping each other out as we advance in this technological age.…

What would Augmented Reality look like from an unapologetically Black perspective? How do you create and pursue ideas without losing your identity? These are the questions that propelled me forward in my creative journey as an AR developer, Black content creator, and a social activist. In this video, I talk about the manifestation of my ideas and projects that led me to finding a medium that didn’t force me to compromise on the decisions of things I wanted to make, instead AR opened up a door of infinite possibilities that can be used to help shape a future that benefits everybody, particularly Black people. Even more so, I also decided to develop a whole curriculum that is at the intersections of Black identity, content creation, just being an artist, being an activist, and being a technologist.…

1 Year in Augmented Reality Recap 35:57

4 years fa35:57

35:57

I recap a remarkably interesting year of Augmented Reality Development. Things have been remarkably interesting, especially this year. One of the things that I am enormously proud of is the fact that I spent literally a year in AR, and because of that I learned so much. I feel like it took a pandemic for me to get a career. I think that is just pretty crazy to me. For the most part it has been an interesting year to say the least. One year in Augmented Reality I was able to accomplish literally opening unity for the first time; to going ahead and making my first app called Eyelnd Feevr that I released in January, and I started working in this pseudo influencer YouTube video maker and online educator thing. I essentially took on the idea of exploring my identity as a black creator and sharing that with the world.
