Meta featured my app! 🚀 yesterday, thousands of people tried a BBC Micro for the very first time, over 40 years after its release 🕹 👾 The fact an Arm CPU is reanimating its 8-bit ancestor in mixed-reality simulation is quite apt, too. Why? For fun, and to bring computing history to a whole new audience. But given this is LinkedIn in 2024, I'll also throw out there that the future of AI is likely dependent on novel data captured from a human perspective - cue AR/VR devices... This epic pandemic side-project simmered for years on the back burner, and I'm so glad it's finally out there. None of it would possible without the JSBeeb emulator by 🖥️ Matt Godbolt, shaders by Paul Malin, textures by Stew B & Adrian G, and advice and support from Ash Nehru, Dave Hill, Kieran Connell, Mark Moxon, Richard Talbot-Watkins, Ricardo Cabello, and Tom Seddon. #metaquest #threejs #webxr #retrocomputing #bbcmicro #computinghistory Astur Consulting
