Over the weekend Netflix launched a new app for Google's VR headset, Daydream. Continue your binge from the comfort of a Netflix's virtual living room and enormous TV screen. 📺
Virtual Reality headsets like Gear VR and Daydream may not be in the same league as the HTC Vive or Oculus Rift, but make for an excellent passive viewing experience. For under $100 you can watch your favorite movies and shows from your own virtual IMAX Theater.
With startups like Wolfprint 3D creating realistic avatars of people and multiplayer 3D movie theaters like CINEVR, we're not far away from going to the movies with friends from all across the world, virtually.
Companies are even bringing native advertising to virtual reality. 😅

Build a working voice agent before lunch
AssemblyAI's new Voice Agent API turns the usual STT + LLM + TTS stack into a single WebSocket. Stream audio in, get audio back. ~1s latency, the most accurate speech recognition on the market (the kind that actually hears 16-digit order numbers), and tool calls that stay conversational instead of going silent. $4.50/hr flat. No per-token.
Most devs ship a working agent the same day.
