Real‑time 3D Semantic Layers via Gemini & SparkJS
Semantically annotating 3D gaussian splats on the fly using gemini 3.1 + sparkjs 1. Load any 3D scene and hit scan 2. Get 2D detections from VLM 3. Cluster outputs & project into 3D world space 4. Save as a persistent 3D semantic layer Inspired by @alexanderchen's experiments with gemini visual intelligence. Just had to try to lift it from 2D to 3D!
Generative AI Will Populate the Metaverse's Empty 3D Canvas
Generative AI is actually going to populate the otherwise empty 3d canvas that is the so called metaverse
Photos Now Act as Precise Human Positioning System
Human visual positioning system. In the era of ubiquitous maps, photo is equal to location.
War Department UFO Files Reveal Unprecedented Transparency
The Department of War UFO files are absolutely jaw dropping. This level of transparency is unprecedented. https://t.co/v9f6rmcUga
SAR Penetrates Clouds, Detects Changes Anytime—ICEYE Showcases
Synthetic Aperture Radar is cool af — a change detection machine that rips through cloud cover, day or night. And ICEYE knows how to show it. https://t.co/z9UHDCcyHB
Open‑source Real‑time World Models Now Under 50 Ms Latency
Open source real-time world models legit feel like puppeteering reality itself. Now @reactorworld is putting it in everyone’s hands at sub 50 ms latency -- type a prompt, change the scene, and control what unfolds as it generates. https://t.co/99PObbdqqb
Browser-Based Real-Time Indoor 3D Scanning Achieved
Big indoor scan - fully explorable in real-time on a browser. Distribution of 3DGS is pretty much solved. Blocker is still large scale capture - you need an expensive LiDAR + RGB scanner to get results like this. 360 video is still hard...
US Delayed Satellite Images; Iran Reveals Damage to Bases
After the Iran war started the US asked satellite firms to delay (then pause) war zone imagery. Why let adversaries use commercial US assets for targeting? Now Iran has released their own imagery. WaPo geolocated them - exposing the full extent...
AI‑driven Blender Autopilot Offers Control, Not Chaos
Whether you love or hate AI, we can all agree the slot machine nature of generative models sucks. Creators need control -- and perhaps the best way to get it is with 3d tools. But the first time you open blender,...
Balance AI Power: Use It, Don't Let Minds Atrophy
Using AI is like wearing an iron man suit for the mind. The augmentation is real, but lean on it long enough and the muscles underneath start to atrophy. I think we’ll start writing and thinking manually again - with...
360° Drones Reveal Stunning 3D Gaussian Splats
360 drones are epic for capturing immaculate 3d gaussian splats. Wait till the virtual camera flies through the tree canopy down to ground level - bloody magnificent ! https://t.co/SmYs7vDVyJ
AR Glasses Turn Phones Into Real‑World Wall Hack
Wall hacks in real life using augmented reality. New mad science experiment -- I used $300 Meta RayBan glasses and an iPhone to recreate EagleEye's "see-through-walls" tracking. The answer was visual positioning tech to build a shared spatial map. Code on...
Netflix's Vista4D Enables Infinite Camera Reframes From Single Shot
Vista4d - capture something in 2d once; reframe camera moves infinitely in post production. Impressive research by Netflix. https://t.co/t4WsGMCjln
Mother Nature's Fury Captured by NOAA Satellite
Hell hath no fury like mother nature scorned. Captured by NOAA’s geostationary weather satellite GOES-19. https://t.co/mXMNEYGZ9T
Getting a 360 Drone for 3D Gaussian Splats
Okay fine I’m buying a 360 drone - these things look like amazing sensor collection contraptions for making immaculate 3d gaussian splats https://t.co/rUffydIk9p
