Windows Mixed Reality to be removed in Windows 11 24H2 (blogs.windows.com)

Windows MR and HP Reverb VR headsets to lose all functionality in Windows 11 24H2, so don't update if you use those headsets.

I find it despicable that support for working hardware can be just abandoned after only a few years, and at least a basic driver should be released (ideally open source) if not the full WMR package, which few cared about anyway.

I'm hoping that Monado takes off at least as I only used Windows begrudgingly anyway.

It's like you have AR built in! (is called imagination)

Not everyone has it built in.

Aphantasia

Having Aphantasia doesn't mean that a person has no imagination, he just has no inner eye, no way to see the imagination in his mind.

I know that because I have lots of imagination but have Aphantasia. World building for roleplay and stories is where I am really good, as long as I don't have to do anything with a visual component like drawing

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

There are different forms of aphantasia. I have to try really hard to visualize something in my mind and often have to go into excruciating details to have a clear visualization. Something like TTRPG is unplayable for me because either I drag the entire party into mostly useless details (and we spend at least half an hour in one room) or I play like I have literally no senses. I could just be a talking head in someone's bag.

In my case I'm pretty close to "no imagination".

Yeah it is, like most stuff with the brain, a spectrum from low to high Aphantasia.

I can't visualize anything in my mind, I can describe what I know or what I make up but that's it a list of information or details, when it comes to world building highly imaginative details and information, but I have no clue how it really looks like. That's why I love AI art generators, I can input all my imaginary details into the prompt and it then emulates my missing inner eye. Something I never could on my own, how should I draw something when I have only words to describe it? For me AI Art tools are a godsend, a pacemaker for my inner eye so to speak.

Then we elect those people to positions of high office
