It was amazing attending #AWE2025 again (since 2019)! I had a great opportunity to chat with lots of XR developers and learn about what's on their minds and what challenges they are facing. It's going to be an exciting year for XR and for #AndroidXR in particular!

It's AWE season! Let's meet up? #AWE2025

πŸ‘‹ After an amazing #GoogleIO, I'm now getting ready for #AWE2025! It's one of my fave conferences. I'm super happy to be back after 5 years and to see so many old friends and make new ones. Feel free to ping me if you want to grab some time to catch up and chat about #AndroidXR!

I/O was a blast, & now our Android XR technical talks are live πŸŽ‰ Dereck & I presented on 3D content & AR youtu.be/KbTJNK1ALYc Jan & Cecilia presented on Compose & Al on Android XR goo.gle/43ciNOc Grateful to see all the team's hard work coming together, and I'm excited to see what folks build

It's Google I/O day! We've got a lot to show you today. Can't wait for everybody to see what's new! 😎

A reminder that we're doing Moohan and Glasses demos at #GoogleIO! #AndroidXR

It's #GoogleIO!

Heading out to #GoogleIO! πŸ›« This is our first IO since announcing #AndroidXR last Dec. Lots of new exciting announcements in XR! Looking forward to connecting with devs looking to build for XR! Please reach out! I would love to talk with you!

Are you going to #GoogleIO next week? Would love to catch up and chat about #AndroidXR! πŸ˜€

Want to upskill Android XR in Unity? We sat down with XR legends to get their: βœ”οΈ Practical tips for getting started – even without hardware βœ”οΈ Strategies for Android XR development βœ”οΈ Experiences using Unity’s tools, templates, and features Learn from the best β†’ on.unity.com/3RDtjIZ #AndroidXR

The team has been working so hard to make creating/porting existing #AR/ #VR/ #XR/ #MR experiences into #AndroidXR. Our awesome friends at @unity.com just shared the experiences of 4 Unity Developers bringing their content to Android XR. You can read more about it here: unity.com/blog/porting...

There's a new episode of The Android Show scheduled now in the run-up to Google I/O www.android.com/new-features...

Are all the #VR developers still on that other platform?

Did you know Anchors on #visionOS are persistent by default starting in 2.0+? Persistent anchors are also supported on #MetaQuest and #AndroidXR Learn about these features are more at @andybiar.bsky.social 's and I's Cross-platform Mixed Reality talk at #GDC25 happening next Tuesday!

So awesome to see the community exploring Android XR! It's going to be an amazing year!

Gave a talk, made a funny face, soon there might be video proof. Thanks @berlindroid.de. Slides and app and code are here jfdi.jetzt/skyxr #AndroidXR

Building with Compose lets you reuse the same foundational business logic between Android form factors. ✨ Phones ✨ Foldables ✨ TVs ✨ Cars ✨ Mixed reality experiences Watch to see how we can reuse architecture by building Jetcaster for TV β†’ https://goo.gle/3EslXVt

A fun change for folks who use Android tablets and foldables is that you can now resize any app: android-developers.googleblog.com/2025/01/orie... And a fun change for games is that this doesn't happen to the android:appCategory game because perspective transforms are hard.

So... um. How are y'all feeling about this whole "VR goes F2P" talk I keep hearing about?

Our first #AndroidXR code Lab is live! goo.gle/4gpylTw This one is focused on the fundamentals of the Jetpack XR SDK. What topics would you like us to cover next?

Finally got around to watching "I'm Still Here". It deserves all of the praise it got and more (I'm biased). I'm sure lots of people can point out all the obvious parallels today Missing from the narrative is the role that the US played in the Brazilian and other dictatorships during the cold war

I know there's a lot of dubious things happening in AI. But... I secretly wish that I had all of my AIM, ICQ and MSN messenger logs from when I was a teenager so I could train my own local model and so that adult-me could ask teenage-me questions.

I've been using Mac at work for over four years. One thing that hinders my productivity is the lack of good alt-tab behavior. I use a PC for personal projects and I feel like the PC multitasking approach fits so much better with the way I like to work.

Awesome to see other folks as excited by what we are building as we are! youtu.be/az5QL_NLBvg?...

I'm not sure I've ever been equally so busy and so excited at the same time in my career before. So many amazing things are coming to #AndroidXR!

Why do all the deadlines share the same fee dates? πŸ€”

I find it fascinating that setting up replication across PostgreSQL servers is still so complicated. Haven't we solved all of these types of problems?

Pretty exciting to be judging the @mitrealityhack.bsky.social later this month! I hope to see you there!

It's super challenging to find a minority/poc fiduciary financial advisor in my town. I guess I shouldn't be surprised? I have a hard time relating to so many of the advisors in my area.

I kinda wish electric cars had a giant USB-C port instead of whatever standard they use.
