  35. <blockquote><p>Niantic and Meta partnered to fund three multiplayer mixed reality demo games that run in the browser and support both Quest 3 and mobile.</p>
  36. <p>The demos were built over a ten week period using Niantic&#8217;s 8th Wall web-based AR engine, which has a fully in-browser editor and offers cloud hosting for built projects. Niantic is the company behind smartphone AR games like Pokémon GO, Pikmin Bloom, and Harry Potter: Wizards Unite.</p>
  37. <p>The condition of the funding for the three teams was that their projects use 8th Wall&#8217;s multiplayer module, which can enable cross-play between headsets and traditional mobile devices like smartphones and tablets.</p></blockquote>

  56. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In 2012 <a href="https://bobbyvoicu.com/story-of-mavenhut">I started a gaming company called MavenHut</a>. It was making Facebook canvas games. About 2 years after we started we needed to change platforms to mobile because Facebook games were dying.</p>
  57. <p>Well, there&#8217;s a chance mobile gaming will similarly die as well:</p>
  58. <blockquote><p>I believe that mobile games could be facing the same deliberate death-by-a-platform as games Facebook suffered a decade ago. We’re like frogs being slowly boiled alive. The temperature is gradually increasing due to all the privacy changes. But the changes are happening relatively slowly. So, we’re not jumping out of the water to save ourselves from impending death.</p></blockquote>

  78. <p>And the video is quite good. </p>
  79. <p>The final conclusion is that Meta Quest 3 is on par with the Vision Pro if you take the price and intended purpose into consideration. I didn&#8217;t yet test the Apple Vision Pro, but I can imagine based on the reviews I&#8217;ve seen that Zuck is not that far off course.</p>

  219. <p>Yeah, I know, first world problems, but still. I expected the device to sell at the most 100,000 devices this year, see how expensive it is. What do you know, though, <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/2024/01/22/apple-already-sold-up-to-180000-vision-pros/">180,000 Vision Pros might have been pre-ordered</a>!</p>
  220. <p>This is really good news for the Mixed Reality/Augmented Reality space, after Meta Quest 3 selling more than 1 million devices for the holiday season of 2023.</p>

  239. <p>But there is someone blogging from the South Pole base where they stayed over the long winter.</p>
  240. <p>Here&#8217;s the <a href="https://brr.fyi/posts/redeployment-part-one">first</a> post in a series about actually leaving the South Pole.</p>
  241. <blockquote><p>During the winter, many departments, IT included, are subject to a more casual daily task schedule. Our goal over the winter is to stay on top of day-to-day upkeep, to execute on long-running projects, to respond to incidents, and to tackle any larger maintenance items that can’t be done when the station is “full” over the summer.</p></blockquote>
  242. <p>There&#8217;s more to read there, so <a href="https://brr.fyi/">stop by</a> and say hi!</p>
