Chrome is 100us: https://chromium-review.googlesource.com/c/chromium/src/+/85...

Michael Abrash has a good overview of some AR challenges here, also discusses why that doesn't work: http://blogs.valvesoftware.com/abrash/why-you-wont-see-hard-...

Easier said then done, just an LCD won't work for darkening. http://blogs.valvesoftware.com/abrash/why-you-wont-see-hard-...

Yes, they could have done the same thing with an Android WebView. But the Chrome team is actively working on implementing WebVR (which also want to support many AR use cases) so th…

There's actually a couple of Chromium-based browsers on there, Samsung Internet for GearVR which has been out and quite popular for 360 video watching (Youtube.. etc.), and Oculus …

Yes ideally they'd be able to be composited together at the depth buffer level. But even separate I can see a ton of devs making some very cool more UI-centric applications just wi…

Really looking forward to the the stereo rendering of non-WebGL content, HTML+CSS, which the Mozilla team is working on. More challenging path to figuring out but will open a lot o…

On the Gear VR (dev kit, 2014) there was a 2.5k screen at a smooth 60fps. The consumer Gear VR coming out this fall will likely have a 2.5k screen but we'll likely see 4k screens o…

I don't disagree completely but underlying the growing excitement was for the past 18 months (since Abrash, etc. started talking about VR and presence as something incredible, game…

Michael Abrash of Valve now at Oculus giving a basic description: https://youtu.be/G-2dQoeqVVo?t=3m14s It's parts of your lower brain aligning to convince you you're in a virtual w…

Jeff is speaking from a position of not having tried the good stuff that delivers a sense of 'presence' in the virtual world. That is the game changer, the thing that is making peo…

It's less about the mobile as in using-while-walking-around than the ability to have with you wherever you're at and not tied down to the context of sitting in front of a PC. VR is…

It can and will in relatively short order: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=deI1IzbveEQ Douglas Lanman, the researcher behind this technology work at Nvidia was hired a few months a…

That's why you have to go with a microSD card adapter that doesn't protrude at all. http://theniftyminidrive.com/

Yes, while the current dev kit would have a hard time being a consumer success for easy to point out reasons, knowing that the consumer version will be qualitatively 10x-100x bette…

This kind of hits the nail on the head. An idea is in many ways the context by which you judge a startup team in terms of a core commitment to a common goal, as shown by working on…

Perhaps the whole idea of the noidea app set the stage for the disaster that was S12. Even though only one noidea app was accepted strictly speaking perhaps both a signal sent that…

Interesting that however fast the startup world runs there are often ideas that are sat upon for years that still remain viable, without direct competitors coming on the market (an…

From the post: "the guy said that he liked to play hoops. That single sentence lost him the job" - Max Levchin I know culture fit is critical but where is the line between between …

Simple. Do some monte carlo comparisons between a large number of generated functions, based on various heuristics like number of instructions. So quickly get rid of explicit mappi…

My first instinct was to look under the hood for some sprites I could use for a map based game. No luck, all the cool building/characters seem embedded in the the actual tiles. Is …

Talking about FreshBooks: "As an aside, they mention that "we didn’t have our first paying customers until month 2." How do you think they felt before then? Or even in the six mont…
