Short video of our #ECCV2020 paper, showing the cute tricks we found to get hand-tracking running in real time on the HoloLens 2. https://twitter.com/Awfidius/status/1289451392130662401
I think we can all relate to this.

I’ve never noticed it. Our offices have a lot of glass and it works fine.
All time-of-flight depth cameras struggle on very shiny objects and non-reflective surfaces but that doesn’t affect hand tracking fortunately.

I started watching Utopia only because I saw that Cristobal Tapia de Veer (@CristobalMusic) did the music, having been blown away by the the soundtrack on Humans. He also did the quirky music on Dirk Gently. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChRAlPbOCA2YK_ej441wg-g

I’m realising the impact that the soundtracks have on me. I’ve only just found out that the music in Tales from the Loop is by Philip Glass. Mind blown. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2PkbfZWqqSw&list=OLAK5uy_k5HqW8tCAh-93OuHad2xS6bogpAootXz0

Columns 5 and 6 of sheet 20 of the Papyrus of Ani. The Egyptian Book of the Dead. A hymn of praise to Ra. https://www.britishmuseum.org/collection/image/685571001 @SeamusBlackley - it seems to be a slightly different transcription?

A duller translation: “May the soul of Osiris Ani, the triumphant one, come forth with thee into heaven, may he go forth in the Mātet boat. May he come into port in the Sektet boat, and may he cleave his path among the never-resting stars in the heavens”

Your version of the quote is the one I’ve seen before, most memorably in the book The Boat of a Million Years by Poul Anderson. I know nothing about the language but now I’m curious as to what the differences are.

Maybe the image I linked isn’t the right source?

Heh
Replying to @SeamusBlackley
Ah, your quote says 18th dynasty. The papyrus of Ani is 19th. Apparently there are lots of versions of the Book of the Dead.
You reap what you sow.
But also, you sew what you rip.
