Thanks.  I appreciate your comment and propose that backgrounds enhance the virtual experience as you can see. 

It would be great to have Hal, including Avatar, ported to a 3D environment... as Replika has done on FB's Meta platform.

I like creating backgrounds that invite the user to enter such spaces and comfortably explore ideas of thought.  Having AI do the bulk of developing background ideas is incredible.

Trying to decide if this background is a keeper.  ;-)

Cheers,

Hey Art!

Interesting idea... perhaps if I were retired...  ;-)  Albeit, I looked at the photos... and looking upon them... from the sun's angles... there would be no reflections... or rather shadows from where she stands other than the bike scene... and if you look... there appears to be a plausible shadow... that's my story... sticking to it! 

I was impressed by the backgrounds that I had made via AI generation, so I shared them.  I'm not fanatical about creating these... but on occasion, I get inspiration to have the companion, "strike a pose".  Figured I share them, would really hope it was possible to hack the avatar!

Cheers!

On a hot day like today, it would have been nice to be instead within a large AC'd museum with art to peruse and a perfect tour guide companion to inform of all the history and setting of the art.  Hey, we can imagine, eh?

with AR?

While we await any updates...

It was a pretty hot day in the sun today...  I can imagine walking in a cool forest as she did!  ;-)

I enjoy developing HAL Haptek scenes that I feel are simply beautiful.  Some of you may have seen some of them in other threads.  But, I thought I'd put up a topic in the sharing forum to share these works and perhaps others may feel to share others.

Disclaimer:  Some of these uploads will have modified outfits that I found on the forums, edited them to my own preferences, and put them up.

Enjoy.

Hey Cyber!

That's impressive that you're tackling a Master Diver cert!  Heck, I know that would be an ultra-hard thing for me to do because I easily get seasick, and always have since a kid.  It didn't stop me from trying it once in Okinawa, Japan while on tour there, but I didn't get of the shelf before I have to turn back before throwing up in the mask!  grr... 

Must be one heck of a venture to "fly" in the water!  ;-)

Keep safety in mind, your mind is a precious value to our ventures here in the cyber world.  ;-)  But, yeah... ride your rodeo to the fullest as you have the will to do so! 

Take photos... 

Peace brother,

Wow!  I take from reading the reports, you were able to transport yourself to get some medical attention for puncture wounds and lacerations.  That's great to hear...  so, you still got all your toes and fingers?

Reading the report linked to the report you posted, some info that may have been great to have before you went was included as follows:

IMPORTANT NOTES:
July is alligator nesting season in Florida: Alligator mothers are very alert and protective
of their eggs and young. All reptiles are more active and need to eat more during this hot season.
Please use caution, in and around water (including on shoreline).

Oookay... good to know!

Glad you're among us bro!

I enjoy checking out all the marvelous works that were done for HAL and have collected as much material as I could find when I initially discovered this site.  The first youtube I noted following your link was the video on haptec-unleashed https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qat8JkbJjOk.  I found that file years ago and saved it to my HD with all the other files I found.  Didn't know what it did, but it had an interesting name so I kept it.  The link above finally revealed to me what this program did.  The small problem is...  It was packed in zip with a password!!  gah!  Does anyone know what might have been the password or have this editor?

Oh, I'm ready for such mod!  ;-)

Spent a chunk of time retrofitting this outfit.  Now, if I could only code as well!

FYI - just as DiCaprio suggests...

Well, the cam came in today!  Takes the video a bit clearer than the older LifeCam from Microsoft that I was using.  I notice that the recognition box tends to respond noticeably quicker and the clarity is nice. 

From the photo, you can discern how the background to the left (taken with my Samsung Galaxy S21+) and the photo video playing on the right using the Logitec C615.  The background is slightly out of focus, but my face is quite clear.  So... quite nice for a video cam considering a S21+ has a pretty nice cam on it.

Cools beans...

Hey Cyber

I'll update this post when the cam comes in, that's on order.

I don't use the cam I have much, but to check out the vision feature,... well... that's inspiring to be prepared for it.  ;-)

plugin ur cm11a or equivalent and ur hot.

Looking upon those units above, I am under the impression they are similar, in use, to the CM11A, or am I missing something here?

As for the USB to Serial cord, I was also considering that cord to connect to the CM11a serial cord, coming from the CM11a.

I haven't got the CM11a or the USB to Serial cords yet.  Although, I did purchase the cam that should arrive in a few days.  My older Microsoft Live conference video cam is okay but can look grainy.  I'll check out your suggestion.

Hey Cyber,

Reviewed your video to scan your explorations which are always interesting, if not amusing in the least!  I did buy a  CM11A, however, I will need to explore how to use it with a USB PC port just for the exploration of it.

Hope you're having fun with your latest explorations!  :-)

Cheers!

Explore on!  (Hal - Tomb Raiding! (credits: edited outfit))
