Apple spent 7 years and $3,500 per unit building... Vision Pro, this guy did something better with a webcam in his bedroom. And no, this isn't a render, it's running live on his laptop right now with a webcam pointed at his hands. The webcam tracks 21 points on each of his hands in real time, every fingertip, every knuckle, every joint, mapped to a 3D skeleton at 60 frames per second. A piece of digital silk is rigged to that skeleton, so when he opens his palm the fabric drapes across his fingers, when he closes his hand it crumples in his fist, when he tilts his wrist the cloth slides off and folds with real physics, light reflecting off it like actual material. He can grab it, stretch it, throw it, catch it, all with his bare hands and zero hardware on his body. No headset, no gloves, no $3,500 face computer, no 600 gram brick on his skull, no 2 hour battery, no Apple ID, no App Store. Just a webcam, TouchDesigner and a kid who saw the Vision Pro keynote and thought, I can do that for free. Apple has 3,000 engineers, $200 billion in cash and 7 years of development time, they built a face computer most people will never own. This guy has a laptop, a webcam and a weekend, he built a future most people can actually use. The mixed reality industry just got embarrassed by a guy in a white t-shirt.show more

He's 26. Apple offered him $8.4 million for the... tongue-controlled retainer he 3D-prints in a San Diego apartment on a $180 Prusa. He said no The retainer sits inside your mouth like an Invisalign tray. Inside it: a miniature accelerometer array wired to a Bluetooth LE chip, all encapsulated in medical-grade epoxy he sources from a Kearny Mesa dental supply company for $28 a bottle. It reads tongue and bite pressure patterns at 240 samples per second, translates them into cursor movements and click gestures, and streams the output to any device paired over Bluetooth. Total hardware cost per unit: $47. He wears his own retainer eleven hours a day and hasn't touched a mouse in six months He posted a demo video to Reddit r/AssistiveTech in October showing a full 47-minute Cursor coding session controlled entirely with his tongue and bite gestures. The post hit the front page in nine hours. An Apple Accessibility engineer found it through a Hacker News crosspost three days later. Tim Cook quote-tweeted the demo the following Wednesday - called it "the accessibility hardware Vision Pro should have shipped with." Apple's business development team wired an $8.4 million acquisition offer to his lawyer in November for the retainer design, the embedded firmware, and a three-year exclusivity contract that would make Apple the only distributor globally. He declined the offer in December. His public statement was seven words: "This should be open. Everyone needs it." He open-sourced the firmware and STL files on GitHub the same day Apple Vision Pro burned $3.5 billion in R&D on the premise that spatial computing input requires their proprietary hand-tracking silicon and their multi-year hardware roadmap. Neuralink raised at $2 billion on the same premise for neural implants. Tobii runs at $340 million selling eye-tracking hardware to accessibility clinics at $12,000 per unit. He runs a Prusa in a San Diego apartment printing a $47 retainer that a nine-year-old with cerebral palsy in Argentina downloaded and printed at her local library last weekshow more
