The DALL-E API Arrives - Tech Insiders News, October 2022

A curated collection of «signal over noise» links about interactive technologies, AI, web3, sense-making, entrepreneurship, and psychology.

Today’s image generated by Midjourney, prompt: «The ultimate Virtual Reality headset for games» (Inspired by the links below.) Full image at the bottom of the article.

1. The game center market is constantly evolving; the improvements in motion tracking, wearables, projection, and Virtual Reality bring many new experiences. Activate makes the latest one we’ve seen, which looks like a lot of fun!
2. Until now, DALL-E, the groundbreaking text-to-image generation tool by OpenAI, was only accessible through the web interface, making it impossible to integrate into other applications. The wait is over: the API will be released later this year!
   Why It Matters: With this API, developers can integrate DALL-E into any application. We predict another disruption coming up!
3. Pico XR is moving up the ladder of headsets, with steady growing sales and a new device for professional usage… Will it become a significant competitor to Meta?
4. HTC keeps on teasing their next headset. Hopefully, they will deliver on the community's expectations!
   Where it stands: the competition is fierce. HTC did lead the way for a long time with the HTC Vive Pro, but will they be able to do so with that new headset?
   Of course, they keep hiding messages in it…

And today’s image, thanks to Midjourney: «The ultimate Virtual Reality headset for games». I like the style!
