Anyone know about projects that are targeting a UX revolution? Particularly beyond VR/AR/MR, machine learning, and mind control.
Smart idea by Meta. This week Meta revealed the Meta Quest Pro, a new virtual reality headset that costs about as much as a pre-inflation mortgage payment.

Title of this post is my question. My career so far has been in cloud infra and distributed system (5+ years).

However, transitioning into AR or VR seems to be kind of tricky, s...Read more

I noticed companies in QQQ typically can grow 10% annual, as the rate of growth from 1990 to 2022 has been 10% per year on average. So is that how corporations do it?
