📣 Today I’m excited to share an IMPORTANT update... on where we’re headed with VR & Worlds. Over the past year, we’ve listened to feedback from developers and creators. One thing was clear: both communities needed more focus and clearer direction. Starting in 2026, VR & Worlds will operate as two distinct platforms: - VR is focused on third-party developers, with the Meta Horizon Store restructured around apps and games instead of Worlds. - Worlds is going mobile-first, with dedicated tools to build for mobile. We remain the largest investor in VR, and we’re building both platforms to support the long term success of our creator and developer communities. 📌 Read the full details in Samantha Ryan’s postshow more

The architecture of this new world model is one... of the most interesting things I've seen lately: Let me first explain how most world models work: They predict and render one frame at a time. If you are navigating in one of these worlds, and you look left, the model draws whatever looks right in the moment. Every time you change your viewpoint, the model has to imagine what should be there again, so it's very common for these models to "forget" what's in the world. For example, if you put a toy on the table, look away, then look back, the toy might not be there anymore. Tripo AI is releasing its Project Eden model, which works very differently: The model builds the world first, and then renders it based on that map. That map holds the real state of the world: the geometry, every object, where things are, what's already happened. The picture you see on screen gets generated from the map. This architecture flips the whole thing. Now, you get the following: 1. The world stops forgetting. Leave, come back, and the toy is still on the table because it lives in the map, not in the last frame you saw. 2. You can edit the world, and those changes persist for anyone who enters later. 3. Multiple people and AI agents can coexist in the world and see it from different perspectives. This is early research, but it's looking really promising. They just raised nearly $200M across two rounds to build it out. Tripo will be at SIGGRAPH 2026 (July 19–23, Los Angeles Convention Center). If you work in 3D, embodied AI, simulation, or anything spatial, go connect with them there.show more

I've dedicated my career to focusing on the intersection... of Brand & Product Design and I've spent years archiving branded product experiences across a variety of digital products. In doing so, I've realized there really isn't a great place to discover these types of emotive experiences and/or interactions. I've decided to fill that gap and build a place where you can explore, save, and share curated examples of brand experience design all in one place → 🔮✨ Follow The Brand XP for launch updates, exclusive giveaways, and much more! 🎉show more

Imagine making 2D concept art for a game world... –pressing a button – and suddenly you can walk around an interactive 3D world. That's what Google DeepMind's new paper Genie 2 can do – simulate virtual worlds, including the consequences of any action (e.g. unlock door, jump, swim etc). Right now Genie 2 can generate consistent worlds for up to a minute. And this world model seems to generate larger 3D worlds than what World Labs showcased yesterday. Plus they're dynamic vs. static worlds – the foliage moves in the wind, the water ripples etc. Not quite ready for prime time, but promising on two fronts: 1. For game developers: enabling rapid prototyping of interactive experiences straight from concept art 2. For AI research: providing unlimited, diverse 3D environments for training and testing AI agents The race for building the biggest, baddest world model is very much on. Meanwhile, all I can think is "if only Stadia was still around!"show more

ClickUp is working on agents that build custom user... interfaces on the fly. > Agents can build custom interactive blocks, with buttons, editable fields, and embedded charts. > Agents decide what the user needs to see and construct an interactive experience in real time. > Clicking or editing inside a generated block can fire an action directly. Agents will be able to create a working code block that responds to users' input, built in the moment for the task at hand.show more

Today, we're launching the Runway Game Worlds Beta. Over... the last few months, we have been working on research and products that are moving us closer toward a future where you will be able to explore any character, story or world in real time. While generating the pixels of these experiences is one aspect of this new frontier, another is the need for novel mechanics and interfaces. From how stories unfold to how your choices affect the worlds you’re simulating. Today’s beta release marks a first step in this direction, learn more below. (1/5)show more

Something to note here for Vancouver's Rainfall in July... 2026. This is simply what a normal July actually is for us over here weather wise. It's just been 10 years since we have last seen a normal July for Rainfall. July 2026 has had nothing extreme, nothing abnormal. Just that this is what statistically a normal Vancouver July is weather wise for Rainfall. The only ENSO phase that is consistent with us having wetter than average Rainfall in July seems to be Super El Nino's, or either coming off or heading into one like in 2026. 1982: Well above average Rainfall in July 1997: Well above average Rainfall in July 2016: Slightly above average Rainfall in July 2026: Slightly above average Rainfall in July You want to blame something, blame El Nino for our good fortune in Vancouver this July. #bcstorm #shareyourweathershow more
