Experiencing a feeing I’ve felt two, maybe three times, of my whole body decompressing with a tangible “poof” during swearing in. Only felt this a couple times after weeks long sustained meditation. Feeling same “poof” without even trying today.

Just to be clear and go on record: Trump is a racist. You can’t vote Republican without voting for racism.

Here’s the start of #FormulaE race 12 which was action packed flag-to-flag! Seats were facing the Statue is Liberty! So wicked cool, going back to Brooklyn tomorrow for the final race of the season. Championship might even be decided tomorrow! Double-Plus Rad!

3rd variation for our SingleHandedShortcuts #VR #AR interaction sprint. A 6-option UI always at-the-ready. Attempting a #UX that's discoverable & reliable. This one's cool because once you do it a couple times, you can do it super fast. @MrSchubert just shared the other variants.

We actually went for 4 in our example use case. Spirit of this experiment was to be extra lightweight. We maintained the notion that you might even be doing something with your other hand while using this switch.

It's time to shift the conversation from what an AR system should look like to what an AR experience should feel like. Announcing Project North Star, a full #AR platform that lets us chart a world where digital and physical exist as a single experience: blog.leapmotion.com/northsta…

So deftly switching between the aforementioned hand powers is the focus of our SingleHandedShortCuts #VR #AR #UX interaction sprint. Question posed: What if your want to leave your other hand free while you switch tools? One of several answers - PowerCube!!!!!! #LeapMotion
