My problem is I can't draw or do artistic interpretation, so I've had to science my way through using CNC, laser cutters and 3D printing so far.
The all-star VR cast has come together for load test no. 3 of the @basisvr.org Framework. Creators from all sorts of places have shown again, that they are rooting for this critical piece of VR Development.

The only researchers I know who are on the case with regards to the deep sociability and emotion of VR platforms.
@furetching.bsky.social : @lilacjay.bsky.social told me you are interested in historical furry art. This painting is dated from 1988 by the artist Timmermahn. I think it is independent from the fandom, but he has hit the same wavelength.
Not much sleep in a crappy hotel in St Gallen with a pillow that was like a sand bag caused me to get up and leave at 6am and stumble up the hill through the fog until I was suddenly above the clouds.
The proprietors of this popup art gallery and perfume emporium in Lucerne swear that they've never heard of furries before.
This monument in Lucerne is not about what I thought it was going to be about.
The sentence "In 1792, the lucrative trade collapsed" is doing a lot of heavy lifting.
Leaving London for Paris on the train, then an overnight bus to Lucerne in Switzerland to check out if these VRchat friends are and are for real.
Too many fingers!

One of the first new player nights. We didn't meet GoatChurch during this night, but he is in the freakhound avatar on the bottom right.

Now, talks about Furality 2025 was becoming more common. I joined some of the "new player nights" with Boqi to find some new friends. One of the friends we made was GoatChurch. He's a grey muzzle that only just found out about furries and was very enthusiastic about furries!
Hmm. Now I've got the openvibe app, where is dracogen?
Missed meeting at Furality. Saw your UX talk though. Maybe catch up in some other VRchat instance when I've recovered from this. Confuzzled was on one time zone so it couldn't be worse than this.
Found the resource I should have seen ages ago

Hey it worked much better last night. Must be a different crowd. I got some friends I made in Furality to come and look at it. It's quite dark.Maybe there's a way to add some interaction where we get to control a spotlight and shine it at individuals we like in the real room.
I'd like to see that happen. Are you going to check in at a particular time to prove we could say hi?
I've had some truly awesome times since discovering Furality NPNs this year. Compared to that, this portal tech doesn't seem to work as well as it ought to be.
I'm on the slow Cambridge->Liverpool train now, so can't check in till late. But stainlessfox is home and can look in if given a time. Is lack of personal communication due to too many in instance and those on either side not knowing each other?
Yes, we got that far last night. 26 in the instance. But did not observe back and forth conversations through the portal, just unconnected random utterances in the mic. Same thing seen at other conVR portals this year. Was it a bad moment, or we don't know how to use it, or is tech lacking yet?

I'm contacting you as you're hosting the panel at 17:30 so might have ideas why the reality portal is not as awesome as hoped. I've friended you on vrchat. Maybe it needs a facilitator in the con with a headset so they are embodied in both worlds simultaneously.
@nidonocu.coma I've got a previous fursuiter to confuzzled (@stainlesesteelfox) into VR this year and set him a challenge to meet someone he knows through the VR portal this weekend.
There isn't the interactivity between the two sides I was expecting to facilitate this. Why isn't it working?
Which day is there going to be special screening of this at Furality in June? There's going to be one, right? Right?
Ping me on discord (find me on the godot #xr channel as juliantodd) I can show you how it works. It's got VOiP so we can talk through it. I'm looking for feedback on the instructions. It's point is to get Godot multiplayer going as fast as possible so you can work out how to use it soonest.
@johnoshea.bsky.social I did an interview for someone who writes for Crash magazine. Apparently it's been picked up and publishing bimonthly about new spectrum games. You should sell copies in the museum if you don't already
