Got to give it to the GitHub team. While most "AI developer tools" are aiming for a workflow that takes a spec and (much later) generates code (with no developer input): GitHub created a developer-driven, AI-assisted, workflow. The developer is in control, the full cycle:

This is my vision for the future of movie watching. What you are seeing here is not running on the Vision Pro, but on Quest 3, thanks to @MetaQuestVR Presence Platform, I could bring Pandora to my room. #MixedReality has still some incredible untapped potential!
@Gwanatu Its kinda crazy how much of a leap forward the first Quest was. 6DOF? Standalone? Semi affordable? Not to mention all of the updates later.
"I never expected the Meta Quest to get this beloved gaming franchise" is a phrase I've found myself uttering a lot lately. Homeworld VR is yet another example of a stellar game series redesigned for the platform, even if it's a bit short. androidcentral.com/gaming/virtual…
