Hey everyone! I’m 77 from VIVE team, and I have an update on eye-wide blendshape support for Focus Vision.

After broader internal testing, we encountered some accuracy and reliability challenges with our eye-widening solution across different face shapes. As a result, we’ve decided to take it back for further R&D.

We sincerely apologize to those who have been eagerly awaiting this feature. Our goal is to ensure it’s reliable before releasing it—even in beta. At this time, we no longer have a target release date.

Thank you again for your patience and understanding! 🙏

Wood Reimagined: The Rise of Thermally Modified Timber

In an age where sustainability and performance go hand-in-hand, thermally modified wood has carved out a niche that’s anything but ordinary. Imagine wood that has been transformed not through chemical baths or synthetic coatings, but through a process as old as time—heat. Thermally modified wood undergoes a high-temperature treatment in a controlled, oxygen-free environment. This doesn’t just dry the wood out; it fundamentally alters its structure, making it more stable, less absorbent, and significantly more resistant to decay. The result is a product that combines the natural beauty of wood with a lifespan and durability that rivals pressure-treated lumber—without the toxic additives.

What sets thermally modified wood apart isn’t just its performance, but the philosophy behind it. It’s an elegant solution born from simplicity. By using heat alone, this method avoids the environmental pitfalls of traditional wood treatments. The absence of chemicals makes the wood safer for indoor use, more environmentally friendly, and easier to dispose of at the end of its life cycle. Even better, the process deepens the wood’s color, creating rich, earthy tones that evoke the aesthetics of exotic hardwoods without the associated deforestation.

From sleek siding on modern homes to robust decking that can brave harsh climates, thermally modified wood is redefining how architects and builders think about timber. It’s more than just a product—it’s a statement that sustainable doesn’t have to mean sacrificing performance or visual appeal. As demand for eco-conscious building materials continues to rise, thermally modified wood stands tall, both literally and figuratively, as a prime example of innovation rooted in nature.
