Technical Director for Peridot at Niantic Labs, Inc.

Could not be more proud of this team! Hello, Dot is a new mixed-reality experience brought to you by the team that made Peridot on mobile (AKA, my team!). Download it now via the Meta App Lab: https://lnkd.in/e59ixT6F Shifting to a new platform is hard work! For engineers, it means new tooling- SDKs, emulators, deployment, distribution… a whole new suite of stuff to work with, but also a new set of tricks with which to build familiarity. It also means a whole new set of best practices for every discipline- player expectations are not the same on the Meta Quest 3 as they are on iPhone, and the team has to be adaptable in challenging core assumptions they’ve previously relied on. All of this takes time and effort, which makes the rapidity with which this experience came together that much more impressive. Big shoutouts to the team that worked on this: Alicia Berry Jessica Jung David H. Remi Sparks Anika Benons Aaron Desin Ashley Rosenbaum Akshay Gawali Carrie Sloane Daiga Shinohara Loren Sherman Luis Tolosa Nathan Pannell Rachel Windsor Susan Kare Sung Won An Jillian Bresnahan Asim Ahmed Can’t wait to show the world what we’re working on next! But for now, please enjoy Hello, Dot :) And read Asim Ahmed's blog for more on today’s announcement: https://lnkd.in/eFZFy-3Q #gaming #playperidot #niantic #nianticlabs #augmentedreality #AR #mixedreality #WebAR #artificialintelligence #AI #generativeai #genai #cozygames #indiegames #metaquest3 #applevisionpro

I just gave it a shot yesterday! Lots of personality, and I can’t wait to see how it expands and connects to the mobile experience :-)
