Physics-based Motion Retargeting from Sparse Inputs paper page: Avatars are important to create interactive and immersive experiences in virtual worlds. One challenge in animating these characters to mimic a user's motion is that commercial AR/VR products consist only of a headset and controllers, providing very limited sensor data of the user's pose. Another challenge is that an avatar might have a different skeleton structure than a human and the mapping between them is unclear. In this work we address both of these challenges. We introduce a method to retarget motions in real-time from sparse human sensor data to characters of various morphologies. Our method uses reinforcement learning to train a policy to control characters in a physics simulator. We only require human motion capture data for training, without relying on artist-generated animations for each avatar. This allows us to use large motion capture datasets to train general policies that can track unseen users from real and sparse data in real-time. We demonstrate the feasibility of our approach on three characters with different skeleton structure: a dinosaur, a mouse-like creature and a human. We show that the avatar poses often match the user surprisingly well, despite having no sensor information of the lower body available. We discuss and ablate the important components in our framework, specifically the kinematic retargeting step, the imitation, contact and action reward as well as our asymmetric actor-critic observations. We further explore the robustness of our method in a variety of settings including unbalancing, dancing and sports motions.

The AI ​​companion of the replicant K in Blade Runner 2049 has been embodied in a physical form. A Shenzhen-based embodied intelligence company, Aiyo Technology, is developing a humanoid robot called Eva.i, an embodied AI companion. It's like bringing the virtual AI girlfriend from a science fiction movie into reality. Users can wake her up simply by touching her. She combines robotic hardware with a virtual avatar app, incorporating AI multi-modal interaction (visual, audio, and tactile) and emotional recognition. The body features an aluminum alloy frame and a three-layer composite skin (maintaining a constant temperature of approximately 37°C, FPC electronic skin tactile feedback, and a precision outer shell), supporting natural postures, micro-expressions, and synchronized breathing, among other human-like characteristics. Simultaneously, the AI ​​supports offline processing, personalized learning, and tone/expression analysis; the app includes features such as an intimacy system and emotion tracking, which can be adjusted to constantly meet user needs and provide timely feedback. Privacy measures include local encryption and a detachable camera. In short, the team is creating another type of human-machine relationship. They call it the fourth relationship: a relaxed, burden-free emotional relationship without the fear of rejection. The team states that it promotes emotional independence and is not intended to replace real human relationships. The project is currently preparing for crowdfunding on Kickstarter, with plans for a limited edition of 200 units.

Really excited sharing the first look at our modular clothing items for #Earth2 🌍✌️ (will be gone in #3hrs) From concept art, to 3D sculpting, high poly, low poly, baking, rigging, skinning, animating + other steps in the pipeline. Only 3,000 will ever be available, #congrats to those who grabbed some! In the future #LimitedEdition drops will be less frequent, especially after #E2V1 releases as we will then move more to randomised time limited drops without limited supply. For example, less limited supply drops and more unlimited drops with items being available X times a month, or year etc. The #LimitedSupply drops we release leading up to #E2V1 are more for those who want something that was an early edition and might be a bit rarer long term. Remember they are only for #aesthetic & #collectible purposes. The modular clothing system we're building means you can own any one of these items and interchange them on a variety of avatars. So it's not like buying a set skin, but items you can mix & match. Perhaps not in #Chapter1, but long term there will be gameplay that allows you to apply clothing alterations such as fabrics, colours and so forth, drastically changing to look of your clothes. Some #Players may even offer tailor services for those who don't have time to alter themselves. I also want to build a system where the #community can submit designs, vote on them & if our design + 3D team approve we can do joint collab releases from time to time. This would be something in the future though, we have other higher priorities to focus on now. Anyway, I just wanted to share a little more insight for those interested & if you want to learn more about how the #blueprint system will work, or just to refresh your memory, be sure to check out: Christmas rolled in here now, just went midnight, so hope you guys have a safe and #MerryChristmas with family and loved ones🙏 #Earth2 #Metaverse #Collectibles #Avatar #Modular

🎋MOCOPI vs VIVE TRACKERS🎋 I got a crazy crazy upgrade on full body tracking thanks to the support of my bambuds, so I made a silly dance comparison to compare the tracking between my old FBT and my new one!! ✨ I danced Bibbidiba by Suisei! (ft. bae as my guide lol) I had to use a different model for the Vive comparison because my Toffee model doesn't work well with the trackers! PROS AND CONS 🔽 1. Mocopi is SO MUCH EASIER to set up! It's very very beginner friendly as well and a great asset to get if you're just starting on doing 3D stuff or want to try it out! Vive trackers are lowkey a pain to set up each time! 2. Vive trackers are EXPENSIIIVEEEE!!!!! The tracking is so so so good but only invest in it if you plan to do lots of 3D content! Mocopi is a much affordable option! 3. Related to point 2, but you get what you pay for when it comes to tracking. Vive may be more expensive, but the tracking quality and accuracy makes it worth it. 4. This is only for people that don't have the Valve Headset, but I use a Quest 3 and I have to do EXTRA SETUP to calibrate the trackers with an external program to use in VRChat! (Mocopi also needs an external program (SlimeVR) but it's much easier to set up imo). 5. Since calibration is paired to your headset with the vive trackers, if your headset goes to sleep or something the calibration will be LOST and you will have to recalibrate again which may take 1 to 2 minutes. Mocopi doesn't have this issue and recalibrating is only one button. 6. Mocopi is an IMU so no base stations required but because of this the trackers need to be recalibrated A LOT of times. This may be annoying if you're streaming and you constantly have to press the button to recalibrate. Vive trackers may take longer but you VERY RARELY have to recalibrate if your headset doesn't go to sleep. 7. Vive trackers take a lot of space on your setup. Each tracker needs to be connected to the PC so if you have a lot you may need to buy an USD hub! 8. You need to have a good room space to use vive trackers properly because the base stations need to have a clear view of your trackers or else they can lose tracking! Mocopi is an IMU, so no amount of obstruction will make the trackers lose tracking. 9. The amount of poses and movement that you can do with vive trackers is NIGHT AND DAY compared to the mocopi. A lot of poses or rapid movements will make the mocopis mess up their tracking and you will have to recalibrate. Vive trackers will not need any recalibration. Basically if you're a vtuber that only wants to dabble into 3D content as a fun little thing I think mocopis are very much a good choice! But if you'd like to do 3D stuff that require more intensive tracking like dancing, vive trackers are excellent and very much worth the price!

How do you build an end-to-end agentic RAG app? Lucky for you, you can just run two commands: ‘pip install elysia-ai’ and ’elysia start’ I wrote a massive blog post detailing all the things we built into this 𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗻 𝘀𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗰𝗲 𝗲𝗻𝗱-𝘁𝗼-𝗲𝗻𝗱 𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝗥𝗔𝗚 𝗳𝗿𝗮𝗺𝗲𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸: But if you don't have time to read though that, here’s the TLDR version 🔽 Instead of the typical "text in, text out" approach, Elysia uses a decision tree architecture where intelligent agents determine the best tools to use, evaluate results, and decide whether to continue or complete their tasks. It's an AI that actually thinks through problems step-by-step in a controllable, user-understandable format. The three main things that set Elysia apart: 1️⃣ 𝗗𝗲𝗰𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗧𝗿𝗲𝗲𝘀 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗦𝗺𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗔𝗴𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀: Each node has a decision agent with global context awareness. They evaluate past actions, current state, and future possibilities to choose the optimal tool. Plus, they can handle errors intelligently – if something fails, they'll try a different approach rather than just giving up. 2️⃣ 𝗗𝘆𝗻𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗰 𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗽𝗹𝗮𝘆𝘀: Elysia chooses from seven display formats – tables, e-commerce cards, tickets, conversations, documents, charts, and more. It analyzes your data structure and automatically picks the most appropriate way to present information. 3️⃣ 𝗔𝘂𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝗗𝗮𝘁𝗮 𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘁𝗶𝘀𝗲: Unlike traditional RAG systems that perform blind searches, Elysia analyzes your collections first. It understands your data structure, creates summaries, generates metadata, and uses this knowledge to handle complex queries intelligently. The frontend displays the entire decision tree as it's traversed, showing you exactly why it made each choice. No more black-box AI systems – you get complete transparency into the reasoning process. We built Elysia to be the successor to Verba, taking everything we learned about RAG applications and pushing it to the next level. It's not just about retrieving and generating anymore – 𝗶𝘁'𝘀 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗔𝗜 𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗹𝘆 𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗲𝘅𝘁 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗶𝗻𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗲𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗹𝘆. GitHub: Demo: Get started:

Exciting updates on Project GR00T! We discover a systematic way to scale up robot data, tackling the most painful pain point in robotics. The idea is simple: human collects demonstration on a real robot, and we multiply that data 1000x or more in simulation. Let’s break it down: 1. We use Apple Vision Pro (yes!!) to give the human operator first person control of the humanoid. Vision Pro parses human hand pose and retargets the motion to the robot hand, all in real time. From the human’s point of view, they are immersed in another body like the Avatar. Teleoperation is slow and time-consuming, but we can afford to collect a small amount of data. 2. We use RoboCasa, a generative simulation framework, to multiply the demonstration data by varying the visual appearance and layout of the environment. In Jensen’s keynote video below, the humanoid is now placing the cup in hundreds of kitchens with a huge diversity of textures, furniture, and object placement. We only have 1 physical kitchen at the GEAR Lab in NVIDIA HQ, but we can conjure up infinite ones in simulation. 3. Finally, we apply MimicGen, a technique to multiply the above data even more by varying the *motion* of the robot. MimicGen generates vast number of new action trajectories based on the original human data, and filters out failed ones (e.g. those that drop the cup) to form a much larger dataset. To sum up, given 1 human trajectory with Vision Pro -> RoboCasa produces N (varying visuals) -> MimicGen further augments to NxM (varying motions). This is the way to trade compute for expensive human data by GPU-accelerated simulation. A while ago, I mentioned that teleoperation is fundamentally not scalable, because we are always limited by 24 hrs/robot/day in the world of atoms. Our new GR00T synthetic data pipeline breaks this barrier in the world of bits. Scaling has been so much fun for LLMs, and it's finally our turn to have fun in robotics! We are building tools to enable everyone in the ecosystem to scale up with us. Links in thread:

The United States Government Is Corrupt To The Core, Our 3 Letter Agencies Are Using Our Tax Dollars To Bribe Politicians & Openly Rigging Elections PART 1: “I bribed Hillary Clinton $18 million. I facilitated a bribe for Hillary Clinton on January 14, 2016, right here in this town. On behalf of the FBI, they came to me around December 1, 2015. They told me Hillary Clinton had accepted a bribe from Turkey for $20 million. They told me that I would be working for a group in New York, FBI agents, who had authorization to set Hillary Clinton up in a sting. They asked me to facilitate a bribe for her, an 18 million dollar bribe from another government. The bag man from that other government was, I was to befriend and I was to get that person ten minutes alone in a room with Hillary Clinton. I did. On January 14, 2016, Hillary Clinton was in this town and she met in a way that was kept off her schedule. She accepted an 18 million dollar bribe. But General Barr knows this. This is the Durham, this is what is behind it all and I'll even tell you, I'm going to drop one more thing. I've been waiting to say this publicly. And this is what really happened. I will tell you, if you hear this and give me 90 seconds, your viewers will understand what's happened in the last five years in America. I've been waiting to say this on mainstream TV, and they will not have me back, because once they understood what this was about. I had Hillary Clinton, I caused Hillary Clinton, I facilitated a bribe, and she took a second bribe for $18 million. And I worked with the FBI as I did that. They're deeply involved in this. They came to me three days later and told me I had to forget about it and forget that it ever happened. And I said, what are you talking about? And they gave me one excuse. They said, Hillary's going to win and it's been decided upstairs nothing's going to be able to stop that now. So she's going to win and she's going to send her people over to the FBI and ask who was part of investigating Hillary and any of us who were part of it are going to be destroyed and that includes you too, Patrick and so this mission has been scrubbed from the highest level. And I thought about that and I said, yes, sir. And I came, but two or three weeks later I was back with three federal agents this time. Three federal agents. And I let them know that wasn't sitting, and this is in Salt Lake City, Utah, that that wasn't sitting well with me. And I'd like to know why we had almost a year before that. They told me.”

The new Google Search is rolling out. Information Agents are now appearing inside AI Mode. These agents operate in the background 24/7, continuously monitoring the web for information matching the customer’s exact requirements. When something relevant changes, Google can send them a detailed update with links to the web. For businesses, this changes things a lot. Let’s go through it together. And if you want to see whether your business is already appearing across Google AI, ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Grok, check here. It’s free: Google originally announced Information Agents at Google I/O in May. They are now available across all AI Mode languages and markets for Google AI Ultra subscribers. Google says access will expand to more people this summer. The process is fairly simple in that a user tells AI Mode what they want to monitor. For example: “Keep me updated when a new apartment matching these requirements becomes available.” “Alert me when one of my favorite athletes announces a sneaker collaboration.” Another possible use case could be: “Tell me when this product comes back in stock.” Google’s agent then works in the background and sends an update when it finds something relevant. Google says Information Agents can monitor: Blogs News websites Social posts Other web content Real-time shopping information Finance data Sports information The agent searches for changes related to the user’s specific question. This creates a new type of search visibility. A customer no longer needs to return to Google and repeat the same query every week. They can describe what they need once and let Google monitor the web for them. For businesses, that creates opportunities to appear after the original search has ended. Imagine someone tells Google: “Keep me updated on payroll software that adds better support for construction companies with employees and contractors.” Several weeks later, your company publishes: A new contractor-payment feature A construction-specific product page Updated pricing A QuickBooks integration A customer case study A comparison with another payroll platform Google’s agent may encounter that information while monitoring the topic. Your company can reach the customer at the moment your product becomes more relevant to them. This is my interpretation of what the rollout means for businesses. Google has not disclosed exactly how Information Agents select which pages or companies to include. But we do know the updates can contain links to the web. That creates a potential traffic opportunity for businesses publishing information that closely matches what customers are monitoring. A vague announcement such as: “We are excited to introduce several powerful improvements.” gives Google less specific information to match against the customer’s request. A clearer announcement might say: “Our payroll platform now supports automated contractor payments in all 50 states. The feature is available today on plans beginning at $149 per month and integrates with QuickBooks Online.” That gives the agent specific facts it can match to the customer’s request. This is where SEO Stuff’s done-for-you package becomes relevant: The package combines 10 AI-search-optimized articles with three DR50+ authority placements. The content can cover: New products and features Industry-specific use cases Pricing Integrations Comparisons Customer results Frequently changing information The authority placements reinforce the company’s identity, category and claims across other credible websites. Google has not said that Information Agents directly measure Ahrefs Domain Rating or backlinks. That connection is my interpretation of how businesses can become easier for Google to discover and verify across the web. Information Agents also make freshness more commercially important. A page published two years ago may still rank well. But if it has not been updated, it may not tell Google about: A newly launched feature A recent price change A product coming back in stock A new service area An updated integration A current customer result A newly published report Businesses need a system for keeping important information current and publishing meaningful updates when something changes. This does not mean publishing a constant stream of thin announcements. The update still needs to contain something genuinely useful. That could include: New product information Original research Current pricing Inventory changes Industry data Detailed case studies New integrations Updated comparisons Specific customer results The Premium Content Bundle can help build that broader information footprint: It includes 60 long-form articles mapped across the questions, comparisons and use cases surrounding a business. The goal is to create useful pages covering the different needs a customer may ask Google to monitor. One customer may care about pricing. Another may care about a specific integration. Another may be waiting for a feature. Another may want a product designed for their industry. Another may want evidence that the service works. Each page creates another opportunity for an Information Agent to discover the business while monitoring the web. This rollout also makes brand consistency more important. Google may encounter information about your company across: Your website News coverage Social posts Industry publications Review websites Comparison pages Customer discussions If those sources describe the company differently, Google has to determine which information is current and accurate. Clear and consistent information gives the agent stronger evidence to work with. If I had to reduce this rollout to one core idea, it would be this: Search is becoming continuous. The customer describes what they need. Google monitors the web in the background. A relevant change can trigger an update. That update can include links to supporting websites. For businesses, visibility increasingly depends on being discoverable at the moment something changes. That requires: Current product information Clear positioning Specific feature and pricing details Useful industry content Meaningful updates Consistent third-party validation Pages worth sending the customer to The businesses that benefit most will make it easy for Google to understand what changed, who it matters to and why the customer should care. This is the system SEO Stuff was built around: And if you want to see whether your business is already being cited, understood and recommended across Google AI, ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Grok, check here:

Introducing Wikiwise: an open-source Mac app for managing your own Karpathy-style LLM wiki. Set up a new wiki in a few clicks: all you need is Wikiwise + your agent. It's infinitely customizable, just markdown/html under the hood, and one click to share your wiki publicly. Here's how it works: * Install Wikiwise for mac (it's built in Swift so super minimal and performant). In Karpathy's framework, Wikiwise is your IDE. * Start a new Wiki: it generates a new folder on your machine that's scaffolded in the wiki structure Andrej Karpathy describes (index.md, raw folder, wiki folder, CLAUDE.md/AGENTS.md, although it tries to be as un-opinionated as possible). * Then just point your agent (Codex, Claude Code, Cursor, etc) at the folder and tell it what to import -- files on your machine, connect to your Readwise account, or urls from the web. * Your agent creates wthe wiki for you: Your agent will know how to ingest your raw sources (via the AGENTS.md) and will immediately start writing+linking wiki pages for you. * Go crazy on customization! The rendered wiki pages live as static html/css in your folder too so just tell your agent to change stuff, and if you need any more customization Wikiwise is fully open source :) * Ask questions about your research with your agent, ask it to bring in new sources, write new documents, etc. * (optionally) Hit the Publish button to share your wiki with friends/colleagues at a custom URL === I tried to walk the line on a couple constraints with Wikiwise: 1. I wanted it to be easy to spin up new wikis, especially without chaining together a bunch of different apps. It takes me a few minutes to spin up a new wiki on a topic -- I already have five! 2. Infinitely Customizable: one great aspect of building a wiki as Karpathy described is that you can modify any aspect of your wiki with your agent. Every new wiki styling+structure is self-contained in the local folder, which allows you to preserve this. Wikiwise is just an IDE that makes the setup easier and includes a nice un-opinionated starting state. 3. Minimal: Wikiwise is built mostly in Swift, and the DMG you install to download it is only 2.6MB (!) 4. Easy Publishing: my colleague Eleanor Konik has been building her own LLM wikis for months, but has always really struggled to actually share them with her book club. There are tools to do it, but figuring out hosting is always a huge headache. This seemed like an ideal usecase for a tool like Wikiwise to solve. The process of building wikiwise was also pretty interesting -- I "bootstrapped" the app in a way by first building my own wiki based on Karpathy's tweet and other notes I had, and slowly formed the shape of the project in collaboration with my LLM. This was all done in 3 days over the latest Readwise company hackathon we had. Truly an incredible time to be alive. Anyways, curious what you think! Links in next tweet.

Dr. Mike Yeadon: "It's absolutely clear, there's really only one senior institution. It's a group of people who you can see as supranational groups, from the UN, WHO, the International Panel on Climate Change, the World Economic Forum, you know, Bilderbergs. You should see them as the same, they're different manifestations, the Trilateral Commission." "Keir Starmer is a member of the Trilateral Commission, the only elected British politician who's a member of this globalist group, at least that particular one. They're all founded by the same group of people. They've been running for decades to much longer than a century. And I believe, they believe, their destiny is to control all us little people." "They see us as useless eaters. Useless eaters. Where have you heard that phrase before? What happens to useless eaters, do you think? I think they believe it's their destiny, maybe their obligation, to take control of everyone, everywhere, forever, using digital means. So digital ID, digital money, geo-location, and an obligation to be injected, something like that. You don't need much more than that. " "The control mechanism is so frighteningly simple. I warn people, and I'm not going to sign up for digital ID. I'm probably going to regret that statement, but you don't need a new global single format editable digital biometric ID. But that's what digital ID means, single, global, editable, biometric digital ID. I'm warning you, I'm trying to help. It's the last really important decision you will get to make if you sign up for it." "The people who are taking over do not require your consent, your collaboration, to do anything after that, and this is why I'm going to tell you why. Even I, as someone who's not involved in finance, I'm clever enough to see that the debt of all major countries has been deliberately piled on and escalated to the point where it's obvious to all of us that the debts can never be repaid." "We're struggling even to service the interest on the loans. So at some point, I predict with great confidence that an event like 2008, the global financial crisis, only a thousand times worse, will occur. And that will mean every country is bankrupt at the same time. All businesses would be bankrupt at the same time." "And to find out what will happen to you, if like me, you're sort of comfortable and middle class, early retired, and you've got a bit of saving, you should be really right in what I'm going to tell you. David Rogers Webb, David Rogers Webb. He is my soul, my matching half in finance. He's a retired hedge fund manager who discovered that the laws pertaining to private property rights have been altered over the last 50 or 60 years surreptitiously in every country on the planet." "So when you think you own something, I invite you to look in. If you've got an investment account, you will find now you won't find any statements to do with ownership. You'll only find the phrase beneficial owner, beneficial ownership. It makes no difference most of the time. You can buy it and sell it. Let's say it shares, stocks, bonds. You can receive dividends and so on." "But the small print says, in the event of a large enough default, all the financial intermediaries who money, who own money to the people they borrowed it from, and then they owe money to the people they borrowed it from, in the event of a large enough default, the senior secured creditors, the people at the top, may seize the assets ever pledged as collateral by the layers below them." "That includes your house, your pension, any stocks and shares you have in an account with an intermediary like Hargreaves Lansdowne, A.J. Bell, and the like, JP Morgan. Basically, legal theft of all of your assets will occur, I think, within hours of a large enough financial crisis that I've just discussed." "So even if you didn't think anyone was plotting against you, I think you would agree with me that, in fact, I factored in it when I was doing retirement planning, I assumed there would be at least one other 2008 during my life when I set out my my affairs so that I would probably be able to survive that. But we can't survive this." "So, yes, I think I think there will come a time between now and 2030 where legally all your assets will be stolen. I remember there's a lady called Katherine Austin Fitts, is a finance lady. She says, I believe that possession, where we're talking about objects, not humans, but when it comes to objects, you really only, only if you can sit on it and defend it at the point of a gun." "I know she says it to get a laugh, but there is something to that. If you've left any assets with a third party, maybe you own some gold and it's in the bank. Maybe you do have a large pension with a financial intermediary upon a large enough financial crisis that is being engineered because, as I'll explain in a moment, look how useful this is, that the moment of that big enough financial crisis, all of the institutions will be bankrupt and all of the assets will be moved legally, stolen legally, and they will belong to the senior secured creditors because those assets have at some point been used in a financial transaction." "There's no point in you protesting that they haven't told you they've borrowed it and it's not really theirs. This has been tested in a major court in New York, where one financial institution was both the custodian and acting on behalf of senior creditors. So it stole the assets of another of its clients and it went to court and I'm afraid it was found that they were legally able to do that." "So David Rogers Webb, a free book called The Great Taking is my gift to you. You should go and read that. So that's part of the takeover. It is a takeover. It's a global coup."

Apple Vision Pro: My Initial Impressions I agree with some others. This is one of the most impressive pieces of tech I’ve ever used, but it's not perfect. The Good: • The eye tracking and hand gestures are simply incredible. The accuracy is like 99%. It’s quite intuitive and feels very natural. You can put your hands almost anywhere and it'll sense them. • I’m not exaggerating when I say Apple’s immersive videos made for the Vision Pro literally make you feel like you’re there in person. I felt like I was literally in the room with Alicia Keys while she sang, or traversing 3,000 feet above Norway’s breathtaking fjords while walking on a rope. My only complaint is that while Apple Immersive Videos are 180-degree 3D 8K recordings, they are still a little blurry. • You can use the Vision Pro while lying down in bed in complete darkness and the hand gestures will still work just fine (just like FaceID does in the dark). • In 2013 Apple introduced TouchID. In 2017 FaceID. With Vision Pro, Apple has introduced OpticID. It scans your iris and unlocks your Vision Pro when you put it on. It’s incredibly quick and accurate. And like FaceID, it's secure. It's what you will use to pay for things on the device as well. • I didn’t experience any vertigo, dizziness, etc while using the device. • I'm a bit of a display nerd. For the first time outside of a theatre, Avatar The Way of Water feels true to the directors creative intent. High frame rate (HFR) wasn’t possible in any other device. The 3D is exactly like the theatre. I went to a dolby cinema to watch it originally, and the Vision Pro gets it about as close to a theatre video quality experience as you can get. • The sound quality is really good. The spacial audio is very convincing. • The Vision Pro is heavy, but I found myself not caring all that much if i used the dual loop headband. • I was skeptical of the productivity side of the Vision pro, but wow does the mac virtual display work insanely well. You can easily edit videos or browse the web. • You can complain about plenty of things, but built quality is not one of them. It's really good and solid. The device feels very dense. • Neck strain was not an issue • I watched John Wick in one of the immersive environments, and the movie was reflecting onto the water perfectly. It’s was incredible. I'm not joking when i saw it literally felt like I was watching a movie on a 4K HDR screen in then middle of the wilderness. • Battery life is fine most of the time. The Not So Good: • The app ecosystem just isn’t there yet, which is understandable. That will happen over time, but currently there are only 600 apps built for the Vision. For developer, It doesn't make sense to make a custom Vision Pro app when there are only ~200k users in the ecosystem. • The field of view is kinda of small, which is disappointing, and sometimes a little distracting. It's not terrible, but I wish the FOV was bigger. • The passthrough video is dissapointinly low quality, though it’s still better than anything else on the market. You can’t read your small text on your phone. Colors are muted, and it's a little jittery. Future versions will be better no doubt. • It is sort of an isolating device. I almost guarantee you future versions of the Vision Pro will be able to connect with one another so two people can be looking at the same virtual safari window, movie, etc. • Price: It's expensive. • As I said above, while heavy, the weight of the VP was not an issue for me, but that doesn't mean I don't want it to be lighter. It does press against your face pretty hard, which can cause minor cheek area fatigue. Future versions will no doubt be lighter. Final Thoughts: Going back to my Mac felt weird. It suddenly felt like a technology of the past. If you have the money and want to be an early adopter, you’ll be happy with the Vision Pro. But I have to say, the second or third generation of this device, I think, will be better and cheaper, so it’s probably worth waiting for that. While it’s one of the greatest pieces of tech I’ve ever tried, I can’t see myself using this in my daily life yet, and for $3,500, I should be able to envision that. I'm going to give it a few more days, but I'll likely be returning it. The app ecosystem needs to improve and expand a lot. That's ultimately what will make or break this thing's success. Apple knocked it out of the park engineering this thing. It's mind blowing, but if i'm already mind blown, Imagine how good future versions will be.

🔥👽 This is REALLY good! 👽🔥 "In my view, there absolutely is an adversarial actor in our world. There is a human-engagement program underway. I don't think it's the rainbow that everyone kind of hopes that it is." ~Reed (IMO, Reed Summers is an unsung, VERY important voice in this community, and what he says in this clip, currently, resonates with me in a big way. Take the time to read or watch. Then we have what Ross Coulthart says about the "deliberate lifting of consciousness" and "frequency," which is more on the side of love, light and space brothers. I don't see that right now, and none of my contacts have ever mentioned it. If it's there, maybe its hands are tied with how it can help us?) ~ "Genetic interventions, cultural influence, right? Social engineering. All of these could be at play in a subversive sense. NHI is operating in a strategic silence, in a state of non-disclosure. Intelligence indicates intent, intentful engagement indicates a program. And so what is their program? We talk about the Legacy-human program. What about the non-human program? ~Reed ~ Ross: "I've been told that the United States has developed quite advanced weaponry, particularly plasma-beam technology that might, in part, have been inspired by what they've seen or recovered from non-human technology. I think, also, just to add the concern of NHI with what humanity is doing. There's also a very deliberate lifting of consciousness. And I really am struck by what Chris (Bledsoe - Chris Bledsoe) says about the frequency. This is something that I'm getting from so many people. That the level of intensity of public reporting of their engagement with NHI, of a clear intent by NHI, to essentially give up on governments from ever disclosing. But to raise human consciousness and awareness. "And I think they're doing this, increasingly (laughs), through direct engagement with individuals. I've got many friends and colleagues and people I've interviewed - witnesses - who've had incredible experiences. I've just been recording for a TV show, something that we're doing here in Australia, where people are inviting or summoning the phenomenon. And there seems to be an interest in the phenomenon engaging with humans much, much more overtly. And I do think that stems from a concern about us primitive monkeys playing with matches." (Were they concerned when this abduction-like event allegedly happened to Jim Semivan and his wife? Semivan: "I had a hole in the back of my neck, and my wife...unexplained bleeding for 17 days." Source: Engaging The Phenomenon's interview with Jim ~ Jim Garrison: "But Reid, speak to us about this interplay between malevolence and benevolence." Reed: "Sure, well, and you described, Jim, the first part of my life in which I was focused primarily on supporting my father, Marshall (Vian Summers and The Allies of Humanity), who had direct encounters with NHI, communications with NHI." (Was Marshall really in contact with extraterrestrial intelligence, known as The Allies of Humanity? I don't know. But a lot of what he has said rings true to me. Doesn't mean it's true. Read one transcript I did in 2021: “It’s Probably Not Human” – Elizondo, Blumenthal & The Allies Of Humanity ~ Reed: "And my family felt the full force and impact of what that was like, as well as what comes with it ("it" being his dad's alleged contact with ET intelligence). Which is, what might be called the hitchhiker effect, the anomalous effects that attend those who have been selected by the phenomenon without their understanding or knowing why." (Add another few names to the list of people who have now said they experienced the hitchhiker effect: Jay Stratton, George Knapp, Kelleher, Davis, Bigelow, Brandon Fugal, Thomas Winterton, Semivan, and more. That includes poltergeist-like events, shadow people, orbs, etc.) Reed: ""But my later work is really about assessing intent with a structured framework. I think we need to step back from belief systems, hopeful or fearful interpretations, and lay out the spectrum of possibilities, right? From curiosity on the left, salvation and assistance, even further on the left, to transaction, integration on the right, or even something more hostile. And in the end, intent is all about human outcomes. We can't know their consciousness. The project, in my mind right now, is not, let's set out to understand what they're like, who they are, how they think, how they cognate. That's impossible, in my perspective. But we can assess the real human outcomes that stem from the hazard and the risk and the possible threat of a non-human factor acting upon. Like a forcing, an environmental or evolutionary-forcing upon humanity at a historically-unprecedented time." (From what I have seen, whatever this is, has, overall, NOT helped humanity. If that's happening, it's going on behind the scenes. I know some experiencers report having their lives changed in a positive way, and some say they have been healed of illnesses. But others say their lives have been ruined and they've been hurt, intentionally or not, by coming in close contact with the phenomenon. Also, various people have come down with several auto-immune diseases after close contact, and some of that was detailed in the must-read book, "Skinwalkers at the Pentagon." jakebarber also mentioned that. Is it multiple intelligences with multiple intents, or one intelligence mixing in some positive outcomes as a propaganda effort? We don't know.) Reed: "And there are significant signals and indicators in the history of the phenomenon that give very good anchors for assessing intent, and for going from possibilities to probabilities and ultimately making a starting assessment, which informs the research pathway, which is the other part of my work in supporting the human institute, devising an intelligent, scientific research and investigatory citizen-led effort to uncover the phenomenon, to disclose it, to interrogate its activity, lest we just be interrogated, unknowingly, ourselves. So, a lot of good work to do there." (Interrogate the activity of the phenomenon. I really like that approach. Let's not assume anything.) Reed: "But, in my view, when you look at all that the sensor data has given us, technologically, when you corroborate that with the geographic, circumstantial [and] temporal aspects of how the phenomena appears, who it manifests to, and the considerable problem it presents to the international community and to national laws and frameworks that govern territorial sovereignty, these incursions into sensitive sites and the potential, programmatic engagement with civilians in the form of physical NHI-initiated contact - abductions - it builds a picture. It bounds those possibilities into a zone of probabilities. "And whether it's a transactional presence, whether it's an integrative or one that wants to integrate with humanity, or ultimately replace humanity, I think there are multiple possibilities at play and multiple intents at play. Although, I don't think it's the rainbow that everyone kind of hopes that it is. It's not, everything the Universe has to offer is gonna come all at once, now, and function harmoniously in our skies and oceans. No. The hostile intent will not tolerate a beneficial actor who themselves would have to arm themselves and militarily confront the hostile actor, which we do not see indications of." (My translation: If, there's a benevolent intelligence here that wants to help humanity break free from the chains of an alleged malevolent intelligence that may be using us, the benevolent force would need to somehow arm themselves in order to militarily take on this malevolent force, potentially, defeat them, and rescue us from a bad predicament. And we see no evidence of that.) Reed: "So, you know, we have analogs in our own human history to this, the natives of the new world. They looked out on the quay and they saw the ships, different flags, different vessels, and they assumed it's gotta be either the angels from the spirit realm - it has to comport to our belief system - or a variety of intentions, and we should work with and collaborate. And it may not be that way. "It's not about, it's all hostile or it's all beneficial or benevolent. In my mind, it's exo-systemic. It's an ecosystem arriving on our shores at a specific 20th-century moment in which we have detonated nuclear weapons, we have flashed the Universe with technology capability, and we have triggered an engagement event. This is really what this is. And a program to engage humanity over a longitudinal time period." (I think it was here and intersecting with us a long time before we first detonated our nukes.) Karla Turner: "We know from some of our own research that the abduction phenomenon has affected families going back four generations and that would be around the turn of the century (1900). In my husband's family, his grandmother had an encounter with a non-human entity that led her off into a swampy area where there was a period of missing before she was returned, when she was only five-years old. That was 1903. So if you think it's new and you think it's something the media has spread, you start looking into the cases and find out how far back it's goes in some of these families' generations. I know of an African American family in East Texas that has had it going on since the early 1900s and it's still going on today with that same family. Three to four generations is fairly typical." ~ Reed: "And so, we need to step back and really look at the human project of getting our act together to diplomatically engage now and in the future, to manage the NHI presence internationally, and coordinate responses, lest we divide and conquer ourselves over this issue. And that's where the reframing of disclosure as fundamentally belonging to the human species, being one that should, I think, be framed in first principles - to Karl Nell's point - with a naturalistic framework, a science-informed, data-driven framework. "And with that, we go out into the field and collect evidence on the phenomenon. We go out to where it is interacting with people. That's the key missing data set that would be necessary to inform decision makers." (We had that with AAWSAP and can have it again. Plus, the Vallée/AAWSAP Capella database of approximately 250,000 cases. Using AI and the best human minds on this planet, all of that may inform us of the intent of these alleged NHI actors.) Reed: "In my view, there absolutely is an adversarial actor in our world. There is a human-engagement program underway. And that's not the whole story, but if that is true, that should marshal our human response above all other possibilities, initially, because we may wake up in 30 years and find that we are not the human beings we used to be. Genetic interventions, cultural influence, right? Social engineering. All of these could be at play in a subversive sense." (If it's true, it should be the most important thing for human beings to address, ASAP. We need to find out now.) Reed: "And, you know, NHI is operating in a strategic silence, in a state of non-disclosure. They're operating covertly and selectively with military-defense organizations, internationally, which are already in competition." (I'd like to hear more about the claim that NHI are operating covertly and selectively with military-defense organizations. We've all heard those claims but is there evidence of that?) Reed: "And that, to me, is another one of a number of alarming signals that should just command us to take a cautionary response. And and we've gotta get out there and use the best of science, research and investigation to do reconnaissance - reconnai-science, as I call it, on behalf of the human interest, and not just national interests." Garrison: "Yeah, that's a profound way to put it, Reed. You know that we've triggered an interaction event." Reed: "And so, intelligence indicates intent, intentful engagement indicates a program. And so what is their program? We talk about the Legacy-human program. What about the non-human program? We do not query that nearly as much as we should. And in my view, disclosure. How do we get disclosure moving? If we recenter the controversy not on human actors, human governments, but on the non- human presence itself, that allows the human actors a way to rapidly and catastrophically disclose their involvements, which is what is keeping this back in part. Thank you."
