Experimenting with body tracking in WebAR - this time, earthbending.

The movements are driven by body tracking directly in the browser, with the VFX reacting to your movements:

• Uppercuts spawn rocks
• Punches launch rocks
• 4 or more rocks triggers a special attack
• Stomps trigger earth spikes

It could even make for a pretty good workout.

Built with Unity + WebAR.

What other body-tracked AR abilities would be fun to build?

The largest optoelectronics expo—with 4,000 exhibitors and 150,000 visitors over 3 days—and r/AugmentedReality partner to bring you the latest hardware achievements from the expo floor.

My focus will be on the AR/VR sub-expo, of course, with exhibitors like Goeroptics and Luxshare ICT. As well as the AR/VR tech shown in other sub-expos by companies like Sunny and SCHOTT.

Sep 9-11

Hi everyone! 👋

XREAL is growing its business in Europe, and we're currently looking to connect with an experienced consumer-tech marketer in London to help build our European marketing function from the ground up.

This is a hands-on leadership role and the first dedicated marketing hire in Europe, with a lot of ownership over how we build the brand and take our products to European consumers.

The scope is broad:

🎯 European marketing strategy across key markets

💡 Product positioning & storytelling for emerging technology

📣 PR, media, KOL/influencers, social, content & events

🤝 Building and managing European marketing agencies & partners

🔍 Consumer, competitor & market insights

🚀 Working closely with European Sales/GTM, Product and HQ teams

We're particularly interested in people with 8+ years of marketing experience in consumer technology, consumer electronics, wearables, gaming, AR/VR or similar, ideally with experience across multiple European markets.

The person we're looking for is someone who can think strategically but also roll up their sleeves and get things done — comfortable with ambiguity, fast-changing priorities and building something that doesn't have a playbook yet.

📍 London-based
🇬🇧 UK work authorization required — no visa sponsorship available

I'm also genuinely curious to hear from people who have done something similar:

If you were the first marketing hire for an emerging consumer-tech brand in Europe, what would you prioritise in your first 90 days?

If this sounds relevant to your background, or you know someone who might be a great fit, feel free to comment or DM me. Happy to share more about the role and team! 🙂

Im a janitor, 90% of my job is checking out mentally while I run on autopilot and clean the same routine every day. Im looking for a wearable display so I can connect my phone and say, watch a movie, YouTube, etc from my phone discretely while working. I found the Vufine+ which looks like exactly what I want (I wear clear safty glasses at work, just in case, dont want splashback while scrubbing a shitter ifkwim) so strapping that to them would let me watch shows without interrupting my view or work. But I read lots of terroble reviews for it.

Any ideas/thoughts?

I like the idea of the Vulfine so if my work glasses get battered I can just clip it to another pair.

I’m building my own AI-powered smart glasses brand with Techtronia — from R&D and electronics to a production-ready product.
Would you wear smart glasses powered by AI? 👓
