@deusPaul Good question. @XREAL_Global makes a cool pair of cinematic glasses, but they have a different use case and design. They allow you to mirror a phone or laptop display in a pair of normal-ish-looking glasses - no big face-covering headset, but also no eye- and hand-tracking.

@om For those of us old enough to have a generic “computer class” in high school, WordPerfect was the preferred choice of computer class teachers everywhere. It was the original and the much-loved underdog. RIP Bruce Bastian

Bruce Bastian, who co-created the popular word processing software WordPerfect and was an LGBTQ activist, died on June 16 at age 76

While his company was producing the world's dominant word-processing software, he came out as gay to his wife, sons and Mormon community

🍎Which do you agree with?  Apple just pulled its iPad Pro ‘Crush’ ad & apologized saying it “missed the mark.”  There are two ways of looking at this: 1.👍 Apple is squeezing all sorts of creativity tools into the thinnest iPad ever, an all-in-one device for mobile artistry 2.👎 Apple is destroying tools of the creative industry to sell you a $1,000+ iPad Thoughts?
