A couple of months ago I came across a WebXR scene based on the novel The Three-Body Problem by Liu Cixin. I had never heard of the book but I was fascinated by the scene and added it to my reading list. Due to some physical issues with my hands I’m not reading much these…

    Recording:

    Unedited transcript:

    Joseph: This is just a test of the new Adobe Podcast app. It’s in beta and I’ve been on the waiting list for a couple of months and I got the email this weekend. So I’m talking into my MacBook with no microphone or anything, just using the the built in MacBook Pro microphone. And I’m sitting on my couch not terribly close to it and talking pretty quietly at my normal tone and not necessarily holding still or trying to be quiet. So. Yeah. That’s where it put this thing through its paces and see what it can do with mouth sounds and background sound or whatever. But yeah, I’m just going to talk for about, I don’t know, five more seconds and then I’ll stop and see what it sounds

    Notes

    • Editing is a bit limited
    • Exports are large and would need to be mixed down
    • Chrome only
    • Beta for now, pricing unknown

    Pancakes = the 2D (normal) UI/UX work I do all day

    Space = the 3D/VR work I tinker with

    Apple Vision Pro = Pancakes IN Space
