Firstly, they announced that they will be dropping a new Notebook LLM app. It's due for release on May 20th for both Android and iOS. You can already pre order from both stores.

Our personal favourite AI tool, HeyGen just added a cool new voice mirroring feature to their AI avatar software. This allows users to take any audio and use it as a guide for the avatar to follow so that you can get the exact style, tone and emphasis that you're looking for. HeyGen has been a fantastic tool in helping this channel achieve consistent content, so we're really looking forward to trying this.

And finally, the creators of a VR laser tag game have managed to achieve something quite remarkable in Meta Quest 3. With a mixed reality world that can continuously scene mesh your surroundings, this means that there's no more annoying room setup procedure, you can just pick up the headset and play.

The continuous meshing constructs a real time 3D model of the environment, allowing virtual objects like lasers to interact accurately with physical spaces even as the surroundings change. This might be enough to convince us to buy a quest 3.
