In the eve of releasing information about the Tirando Completo Tremolo (TCT) along with an accompanying prototype recording of it, I am pleased to announce the optimal right-hand fingering for the typical tremolo as we all know it. It is the "m-i-a" finger sequence that has convinced me to be the best one (contrary to the most popular "a-m-i" or even "i-m-a" by some). Why? First of all both of the above mentioned finger sequences suffer from the "m-a" alternation. It should be a no brainer by now that the ring finger ("a") is a problematic one compared to the other fingers. This means that these fingerings require for a speedy "m-a" cooperation and this is not such a good idea in my opinion. The NPA tremolo fingering starts off with a solid middle finger ("m"), which is highly capable and literally sits in the middle of our hand and that means nerve signaling and blood supply is optimal. Everybody should know that the "edges" of our body have fluctuating blood supply and for example room temperature is a factor, meaning when being in a cold environment blood vessels contract. So the middle finger is certainly the most suitable one to follow the thumb. After the "m" finger, the "i" finger is the best way to go so we can have an "i-m" alternation. This is the fastest neighboring couple of fingers we have (if we exclude the thumb = the "p-i" alternation). One can understand the usefulness of this already by playing "p-m-i" and (s)he will definitely see the ease and speed it provides. To complete the fingering sequence, there comes the "a" finger, which is now the result of a speedy and easy "i-a" alternation, especially when compared to "m-a". Or you can just think of it this way: you have a perfect "p-m-i" sequence followed by a clumsy "a" rushing to end the sequence, which as mentioned above is the most problematic finger. Here you have it, the best right-hand fingering for the typical tremolo. I am sure all possible combinations have been tried before, there aren't that many fingers after all haha, but this is not the discovery here. The discovery is the realization that THIS fingering beats the rest in execution (providing balance and ease/comfort) and of course reasoning. Like all NPA announcements, you are free to use that knowledge or even discuss it with others BUT be grateful and always remember to state where you learned it from Have a nice October, Nick Papadopoulos

Big changes to " unity " XRI 3.x at hand ! To move towards more modular data + input better aligned with current " open xr " hand actions. Its also a work around for " vision pro " not providing physics raycasts through os inputs. Plus also consolidates near and far interactions into " attach transforms ".. The prior " affordances " system is now deprecated and will be removed in XRI 5.x as we shift from controller - based to pure " open xr " hand interactions. That also solves the problem of input hierarchies. My friend Eric from " unity " will do a proper live stream later this month. For now the gdc talk has just gone up and details the new architecture .. REF : > GDC 2024 " unity XRI 3.0 " session [ https://lnkd.in/gKAaaV63 ]

Can XR enhance safety and compliance training? What is XR: XR (Extended Reality), is an umbrella term encompassing Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality, and Mixed Reality. Using XR simulations (just like playing games on oculus headset!) offers a multitude of benefits. Especially in industries where precision and safety are paramount, XR can: 1. Improve training outcomes because personnel can actually interact spatially instead of looking at presentations and static physical models 2. Reduce costs to conduct the training… meeting physically and organization training can be a big cost - especially if done several times a year which is often the case to maintain compliance 3. Gather insights from analytics that be built into to the XR models… leading to improving the training. I have explained these and other use cases in my blog.

[The Fundamental Advantage of 3D Over 2D #3: "Information Quantity"] Previous : https://lnkd.in/gpkMu3mV The essential difference between 3D virtual reality and 2D is the "amount of information it can hold." More precisely, it's about the difference in "information density." If there's a vast plane, it can represent more information than a very small space. To briefly define information quantity, it can be considered as all possible cases that can be held. For example, if you toss a coin, there are two possible outcomes: heads or tails. If you throw a standard die, there are six possible outcomes: from 1 to 6. In this case, the die can convey more information. Imagine a width of 10 meters in a flat space and a volume. Then, let’s define the most basic plane and space: think of a 1m x 1m flat surface as a pixel, and a 1m x 1m x 1m volume as a voxel. If a 10m x 10m flat surface can hold information in 100 pixels, then a 10m x 10m x 10m volume would consist of 1,000 voxels. Not only is the unit of representation increased by tenfold. If a pixel or voxel could be switched on (ON) or off (OFF), then the number of possible information states would be: Flat surface: 100 pixels -> Possible number of states: 2^100 = approximately 1.26 * 10^30 Volume: 1,000 voxels -> Possible number of states: 2^1000 = approximately 1.07 * 10^301 When expressing information within a 10-meter unit, there is roughly a difference of 100...000 times (with 271 zeros) more information. Naturally, this is a very simplified result, but in reality, the difference in information quantity is much greater. As the size of the plane and volume increases, and as more information can be represented per unit (e.g., not just ON/OFF, but various colors), the amount increases exponentially. This part only explained the visual information, but 3D virtual reality through VR fundamentally has the advantage of better utilizing sound (auditory). Though it might feel like the distant future, devices that can sense other human senses like smell and touch are also being actively developed. Although senses other than vision can be utilized in 2D, just looking at sound, the latest iOS devices are equipped with spatial audio. Moreover, various games and metaverse applications are implementing interactions where sounds become softer from afar and louder as one approaches. In the mid-1900s, when computers first emerged and were developing, there were no mice, keyboards, or monitors, and the era used punch cards and bulbs (vacuum tubes). It would have been hard to imagine interfaces related to eye tracking before Apple Vision Pro came out. I think that in the development process of VR, humanity's intellect must account for such innovations. Humanity has always done so, and even the pace of progress is accelerating. P.S. Dall-E drew a flat surface and space each with 7 squares, even though I asked for 10. GPT does as it pleases, but it's still better than nothing!
