Gamepad support is a necessity for complete WebVR experiences. Similarly to the VRDisplay implementation, integration with the vendor-specific SDK for gamepads are implemented in rust-webvr, based on the following traits and structs:

These traits are used in both the WebVR Thread and DOM Objects in the Gamepad API implementation in Servo.

Vendor-specific SDKs don’t allow using the VR gamepads independently, so navigator.vr.getDisplays() must be called in order to spin up VR runtimes and make VR gamepads discoverable later in subsequent navigator.getGamepads() calls.

The recommended way to get valid gamepad state on all browsers is calling navigator.getGamepads() within every frame in your requestAnimationFrame callback. We created a custom GamepadList container class with two main purposes:

Provide a fast and Garbage Collection-friendly container to share the gamepad list between Rust and JavaScript, without creating or updating JS arrays every frame.

Implement an indexed getter method which will be used to hide gamepads according to privacy rules. The Gamepad spec permits the browser to return inactive gamepads (e.g., [null, <object Gamepad>] ) when gamepads are available but in a different, hidden tab.

The latest gamepads state is polled immediately in response to the navigator.getGamepads() API call. This is a different approach than the one implemented in Firefox, where the gamepads are vsync-aligned and have the data already polled when requestAnimationFrame is fired. Both options are equally valid, though the being able to immediately query for gamepads enables a bit more flexibility:

Gamepad state can be sampled multiple times per frame , which can be very useful for motion-capture or drawing WebVR applications.

, which can be very useful for or WebVR applications. Vsync-aligned polling can be simulated by just calling navigator.getGamepads at the start of the frame. Remember from the Servo WebVR architecture that requestAnimationFrame is fired in parallel and allows to get some JavaScript code executed ahead during the VR headset’s vsync time until VRDisplay#getFrameData is called.

Conclusion

We are very excited to see how far we’ve evolved the WebVR implementation on Servo. Now that Servo has a solid architecture on both desktop and mobile, our next steps will be to grow and tune up the WebGL implementation in order to create a first-class WebVR browser runtime. The Gear VR backend is coming too ;) Stay tuned!<\|endoftext\|>You might think that nudists would be fairly visible and easy to track down. Isn’t there a latent exhibitionism in casting your clothes to the wind and stepping out mother-naked into the sunshine? An out-and-proud statement of personal freedom? But when I set out to find them, it turns out that many Irish naturists are keen to keep their identities, if not their bodies, firmly under wraps, and at least some of them are as slippery as eels.

A prospective encounter with a secret group of nudists from north Co Antrim looks promising until it becomes clear that the price of meeting them was the surrender of my own clothes, in the interests of creating “a level playing field”.

“Go on: dare to bare,” they repeatedly urge me. When I decline, pleading a preference for private nudity – I have no problem leaping naked into the surf on a remote Donegal beach, and have done so, but I don’t want anyone else around to watch me do it – the trail suddenly goes cold.

Or perhaps the Antrim naturists simply got cold feet. It wouldn’t be surprising, given the punitive attitude towards nudity in the North. Last month, following the apprehension of two skinny-dippers who were caught cooling down in the sea in Holywood, Co Down, during a heatwave, the PSNI warned anyone else thinking of stripping off that they could end up with a criminal record and a place on the sex offenders register. It seems that the sight of a naked body, particularly if it is male, is still regarded as an affront to decency by many, carrying the power to shock, traumatise and corrupt the innocent. No wonder the nudists are lying low.

Then I hear about a man called Pat Gallagher, president of the Irish Naturist Association. Pat is one of the few nudists in Ireland who is willing to speak publicly about his preferred lifestyle, to put a face, indeed a whole body, to his name. He lives with his wife, Mary, in the green depths of Co Roscommon and he’s happy to meet and talk. “Great,” I say, “I’ll take a trip down to see you.” We arrange to meet outside a bar in a tiny village, because he says I’ll never find his house if he doesn’t show me the way.

Country roads

Finding the village, let alone the rendezvous point at the bar, requires much confused driving up and down identical-looking country roads, criss-crossing the county borders between Leitrim and Roscommon, reversing to check signposts and staring at the “no service” message on my mobile, while trying – fruitlessly – to access Google maps.

When I finally get there, Pat is waiting patiently in his car by the side of the road. He is wearing his Irish Naturist Association T-shirt. “Keep close behind me,” he says. “It gets a bit wild and woolly on the way to the house.”

He’s not wrong. We turn into a long lane skirting remote bogland, which turns into an even longer, grassier, bumpier lane, the tussocks grinding on the underside of the car, overgrown brambles slapping the windscreen. Not a single sign of human habitation to be seen for miles around, just the bog stretching away into the distance, and a field of buttercups shining yellow in the sun. There could be no better place for a naturist to live in peace with himself and the world around him.

When we arrive, Mary is ready with tea and biscuits on the patio and Missy the Labrador bounds up to say hello. The couple, who are now grandparents, have enjoyed going naked for almost all of their long married lives. Former city dwellers, the seclusion of their country home means that they and their like-minded friends can strip off and walk around unclothed all day, with no fear of prying eyes.

“We started off by accident, really,” says Pat. “We used to get the lend of a caravan near a beach in Wexford in early June and we always seemed to get a week of lovely weather. There were never many other people around. I suppose we just started to relax and to realise that the only reason we were wearing these pieces of clothing – bathing costumes, all wet and heavy and sticky with sand – was to suit other people.”

So you decided there and then to take them off? The couple nod, smiling at each other. “I always hated that feeling of sand in your togs and trying to get changed with a towel clamped around you,” says Mary. “It was great to let all that go.”

Later, they became members of the Irish Naturist Association and founder members of the Dublin-based Club Aquarius, which meets every month for a get-together at a swimming pool.

Mary remembers that she was three months pregnant when she attended her first nude event. Didn’t she feel strange or self-conscious? “No, not really, because you quickly see that every type of person is there: big and small, fat and thin, young and old. And then once you try it, there’s no going back.”

“It’s a personal thing,” says Pat. “A freedom that you enjoy in the proper surroundings – on a quiet beach, not in your local pub on a Saturday night.”

Eamonn, a friend of the Gallaghers from Club Aquarius (he doesn’t want to give his surname), says that, for him, getting naked is about getting back to nature, an activity he has relished since his earliest days.

“Naturists just want to go the beach and enjoy themselves and not bother anyone, put a windshield up and have a picnic. We’re always getting asked if the men get aroused, but that’s not an issue at all. It just never happens. It’s a natural situation, not a sexual situation.”

Eamonn has a theory that naturists are healthier people than the majority clothed population, or “textiles” as they’re known in the lingo. “They’re just more relaxed as people, you know? None of that guilt around the body. You never hear of any teenage pregnancies, or anything like that. It’s a healthy pursuit.”

Naturism tolerated

While the INA identifies 23 Irish beaches where naturism is effectively tolerated, and no member of the association has ever been prosecuted, nude swimming or sunbathing in a public place remains illegal in Ireland. Ireland is the only European country not to have an official nudist beach specifically designated by any local authority or council.

“One of the reasons that the law takes an interest is that people say they are offended,” says Eamonn wearily. “So we are the only species on the face of the Earth to be offended by the sight of another member of that species? It’s just ridiculous.”

Pat has spent decades campaigning against the prohibition on nudity. He drags out two giant scrapbooks, filled with old letters and yellowing press cuttings that document the long struggle for recognition and at least one beach to officially call their own.

“A lot of people enjoy naturism but they don’t want to stand up and be counted,” he says. “I’m a hands-on person. It’s just a funny quirk in my personality: I won’t take anything on and not finish it. I do get burned out every now and then, but then it all kicks in again and I keep on going.”

The naturist movement in Ireland is gaining ground. Next month, the 34th International Naturist Congress, hosted by the INA and supported by Fáilte Ireland, will be held at Lough Allen Spa Hotel in Drumshanbo, Co Leitrim. It is a matter of some pride to Pat and his friends, because it is the first time that the congress has been held in Ireland. Nudity will be part of the proceedings, of course, but only after the meetings are over. The congress is effectively the naturist world’s global agm, and there is serious business to discuss, especially around nudist tourism, which is worth billions worldwide, especially in Spain, France, Portugal and Croatia.

I knew I wouldn’t be offended when I saw Pat naked, although I thought I might be embarrassed, unsure of where to look or what to say. But after a moment of adjustment, in which I register the presence of his nude body, it feels perfectly – surprisingly – normal.

Standing in his garden in the late summer sunshine, he seems part of the nature all around him: the bees, the fuchsia, the apple tree, the ripening blackberries. If anyone is out of place here, it’s me, overdressed for the weather and holding a smartphone with no signal, wondering how I’ll find my way home again.

In February, Anwar Faisal bought three apartment buildings with about 100 apartments and told the local newspaper that he planned to raise rents 5 to 7 percent at most. Instead, tenants said, they were told their new rents would be hundreds or even thousands of dollars higher.

Faisal has a long history of housing code violations, lawsuits, and criminal charges related to his 2,000 or so Boston apartments. In 2014, he was one of the landlords profiled in a Boston Globe Spotlight series on squalid and unsafe conditions in apartments rented by college students. Tenants accused Faisal of charging exorbitant rents while doing little to address mold, broken locks, poor heating, and bedbug infestations.

Now, just weeks after buying his first buildings in Somerville, Faisal faces an organized backlash from his new tenants. They’re demanding he reduce the rent increases, and address problems they say have cropped up since becoming their landlord, such as pest infestations.

“The fact that he’s coming in and giving us poor service while trying to charge us more is completely unreasonable,” said Abigail Taylor, a resident of 163 Summer St. who said Faisal’s real estate company first proposed raising the rent on her apartment by $2,000 when her lease was up. “I love this building, but the horror stories from other people who have dealt with him in the past make me want to move.”

Taylor and her neighbors have organized a 50-member tenant association to negotiate with Faisal, documenting other changes in living conditions they said accompanied his ownership of the buildings. Those include intermittent heat on cold days, the appearance of ants and rodents, workers and real estate agents coming into their apartments without warning, and difficulty getting anyone from Faisal’s property management company to respond to complaints.

Faisal did not return repeated requests for comment, nor did others at his primary real estate company, Alpha Management Corp. In February, Faisal told the Somerville Journal that he would raise rents in the buildings for working professionals, but keep prices the same for veterans, elderly people, and residents with disabilities. And last week he defended his practices in another interview with the Journal.

“The rents are extremely low so we are recovering some of the expenses . . . We want to pay the bill. We want to maintain the building,” Faisal told the Journal. “It’s still below the market — why should they be complaining?”

Somerville officials said they were sympathetic to the tenants’ situation, but said the city can’t block rent increases or single out a landlord for extra inspections.

“It is against the law for the city to treat a landlord differently based solely on a reported reputation,” said a spokeswoman for Mayor Joseph Curtatone. “What it is important for any tenant to know though is that our . . . officers will respond to every complaint of a potential violation.”
