I designed a TikTok for Vision Pro using Sora.
Features:
1. Each "video" goes beyond 2D screens and frames, it can be made of volumetric entities in real space.
2. You can interact across spaces with livestreams, like tossing gifts into them as if they were real objects.

Me with AI glasses in the Cyberpunk 2077 world (I made three versions with Sora 2 spliced together: Corpo, regular, and a non-2077 TV-style one).
P.S. The third (MR goggles) is actually the most realistic, practical, and technically feasible type of multimodal AI wearable.

I submitted a breakout session at W3C's annual global tech conference (TPAC 2025) this November. The topic is "WebSpatial API for Spatialized HTML/CSS and Spatialized PWAs on spatial and multimodal AI devices"!

Why are client-side AI agents totally different from server-side AI agents yet just as important?
Why will client-side AI agents drive hands-free wearable multimodal devices to become mainstream platforms?
What new app capabilities are required on these devices?

WebXR sessions mimics traditional native XR apps, they take over the whole spatial environment and both eyes' views. That means they cannot coexist within the same space alongside other 2D/3D apps (2D overlays don't count), and they cannot even coexist with their own webpage content.

I have spent over a year working with the "Glass Material" UI, so let me stick up for Liquid Glass: do not dismiss it. It's not just about looks, It is a big, necessary fundamental shift as GUI software leaves flat screens and adapts to spatial computing so they can work with multimodal AI and AR/MR

Maybe it's because GPUs and 3D programming are so complex, and as 3D demand expands from niche gaming to broader general computing areas, 3D engines are getting integrated into the OS, the OS manages more, apps do less, and apps no longer need to render their own graphics.

To provide this feature in native client apps, besides relying on virtual machines or hardware like Steam Deck, typical methods include room codes or share codes. Players copy and paste a number to join a battle room or share the 3D space they've created.

This killer feature of the Steam Deck is also one of the advantages of Web Apps (including Web Games, WebXR, and Spatial Web) — being able to leave the game at any time, then push the power button, instantly start the game and resume from the previous state — is a natural tendency of Web Apps.

Initially, to ensure compatibility, the PICO browser's UA string was directly copied from the Quest browser, posing as the Quest browser. Later, we improved the browser to be more standardized and developer friendly. The new UA string is shown in the attached image.

I love this WebXR app recently released by Niantic, but I can't understand why the app divides all computing platforms into only three categories: "quest3", "android", and "desktop." It only displays the "VRButton" and checks for WebXR support if the platform is "quest3" (1/5)

Therefore, no single fixed background color can ensure that a 2D GUI remains legible and distinguishable in such a context. Consequently, MR OSs have to adopt a general design for all 2D GUIs, featuring semi-transparent materials and physically-based rendering effects.
