Well I do have Home Assistant, been running it for years, but HA is solely for ... well home assisting (or IoT). HA as integrations but let's say I want to use HA with ... any of my other services, e.g. CopyParty to maybe store logs and makes them available or PeerTube to have videos from my camera, I can look at HA integrations, or CopyParty... issues maybe, or PeerTube npm registry.
My point being that HA is a good example with integrations but it's just one example. If I do take this example seriously though, is there a mechanism beside manual search in the list of integration that would list integrations with my services directly?
Technically speaking hand tracking can be done with just computer vision, no dedicated tracking (like Leap Motion) required even though it's typical better. So yes, it could be done but there is not promise of it so it'd be a risky bet.
VR proper content like Half-life: Alyx, here my comment is about producing content, not using the existing Steam catalogue. I love Alyx, I need more. If I get another headsets (I have several) but nothing amazing to put on it, "just" the usual then I'm not as excited.
I did stream, actually Alyx in 2020 (half a decade ago!) via Alvr https://twitter-archive.benetou.fr/utopiah/status/1243659207783649281/ so... that's definitely feasible, definitely not new. It's a good principle and if it helps keep the device price low, in fact VERY low, then it's great. If it's still relatively expensive then it won't feel great to buy a device in 2026 with specs comparable to something that was out few years priors even if in practice it might be "good enough" standalone with some specific games. The Steam Deck didn't really have that problem because there was no real alternatives. Here I'd argue it's a bit different with Quest, Pico, Lynx but also higher ends like Vision Pro (which you can stream Steam games to, as I did also last year) or the newer Samsung Galaxy XR.
Regarding updates... yes, in theory, in practice I best most of use don't have accessories for our Index "Frunk". AFAICT also most people didn't upgrade their Deck but rather bought the newer model. They do hint at quite a few upgrades or modules in the video though. Love to see how repairable it will be and no doubt it should be way better than most alternatives!
Cubism, mini golf or any game where you build something in the space, Laser Dance, all the sketching and sketching apps, etc. It's not for everyone but feels like such a low hanging fruit when all the rest is there.
Eh... aren't most of the largest corporations contributing to Linux already? I'm not sure what you need beside Google, Meta, Microsoft, Amazon, Oracle, Samsung, etc https://www.linuxfoundation.org/about/members
I recommend you give that, or something equivalent, a go without even buying any hardware. Either ask a friend or go to an arcade. You don't need to shell out a grand to try.
no hand tracking
no color passthrough
no hardware upgrade
no WebXR
no new VR proper content
Still, it’s good obviously, not having to rely on BigTech. This was also possible before though as I pointed out in https://lemmy.ml/post/38899489/22202786 with e.g. Lynx XR1, as a rooted Android standalone HMD with no account required.
Anyway IMHO the big questions for VR on Linux more broadly is what changes upstream on KDE in terms of immersive UX? Is KDE Plasma becoming a VR graphical shell? Does it have 3D widgets? Does it impact freedesktop in any way?
Different networks entirely. AFAICT no IP is hardcoded, only domain names which are the same.
But... please feel free to check the URL, it seems to work.
My hypothesis is that the player in the browser, maybe due to WebWorks, had cached the IP of the content. So I was getting the UI/API from the new IP but the content itself (namely video files) from the old IP which might have created some CORS/CSP issues and that the player itself blocked it. (updating the post on the forum with that idea in case others get in a similar situation)
Funnily enough my Roomba is the ONE thing I rely on to argue against the "robotic uprising". When people fawn over 1X’s Neo or Tesla humanoid I can happily testify that as relatively long term mobile robot owner... it sucks! In theory it's amazing right, in theory you program it, go out while it clean the place, go back to charge itself, etc. So much free time for you now, right?
No... you need to make way for it. You need to actually setup the place for such a basic task. Think you can just "wing it" and let it work while you sip on a cocktail outside? Sure, come back to find it in an enraged BDSM session, rope all over it as it pulls over a char with cable entangle deep inside.
Honestly it's like AI more broadly : the concept is so simple to understand and the result is something we ALL want... that every single time there is an improvement, no matter how small, we love to speculate that truly this time we are getting "close" to make it work. Truth is, we have no idea of the complexity of the problem.
Yes I can relate to the process.
Unfortunately I can relate to that, hence the question here :D
