Agreed tons of potential here, however we may need to get our own geo data for this: Google was very clear during the API quota approval process that 3d tiles cannot be used for ML training or generation of derivative assets like Gaussian s

Yes, you can just remix and remove the orbit controls in lines 43 and 44 https://glitch.com/edit/#!/maps-and-splats?path=index.html%3... and then add `look-controls` `wasd-controls` to the camera entity. https:&#

Next we are combining this work with an AR collection app for on-site capture and testing out workflows for "shared global anchors" (aka Spatial anchors or Cloud anchors) a recurring topic in the w3c immersive web working group:

Thanks I just shrunk it a bunch more. It's a tech demo so apologies for the basic UI. It's also open source so anyone can remix it and play with the UI too

My bet is that even those services that see significant usage then have to contend with a large COGS

This is amazing and all but at what point do we reach the point of there is no more “real” data to infer from low resolution? In other words there are all sorts of information theory research on the amount of unique entropy on a given mediu

This reads like an Epic Games PR piece. Good for them but there’s nothing new here for close followers of 3d tech.

I encourage you to read the sources but the TLDR as I understand it that seaworthiness requirements vary significantly by the region to which the vessel is registered. The port doesn’t have the same regulatory power, nor the resources, as a

Throwing the operating crew under the bus is a classic technique in maritime to absolve the true responsibility -- the poor design of the system, especially "flags of convenience" and insufficient oversight in other jurisdictions.

If you could leave SF in the evening and have a comfortable bed to have a solid night sleep and arrive in LA in the morning, it would totally be worth more than a flight. As someone who did a lot of SF / LA travel for sales and marketi

Yes, and then it gets interesting to think about procedurally generated splats, such as spawning a randomized distribution of grass splats on a field for example

Probably rate limited api calls given the hug of Twitter and HN. Capped at 1k per day see https://github.com/3DStreet/aframe-loader-3dtiles-component Code is available via glitch url

Not quite the same thing, but over the weekend I hacked google maps 3d tiles (mesh) together with a gaussian splat and the effect is pretty similar and effective: Example 1 with code linked: https://twitter.com/kfarr/st

Yes this has tons of potential. It's analogous but different to patented techniques used by Unreal engine. Performance is not the focus in most research at the moment. There isn't even alignment on unified format with compression

Yeah it doesn't even need the option IMHO, I don't think sound is needed here...

100% agree. Sounds minor but one of the biggest usability issues for new user since the launch of the standalone quest is the confusion of users on whether to use trigger or X / A button as primary action. And I'd say it's mo

I see many comments talking about how shocking or rare this appears to be. In reality the maritime industry is extremely dangerous and accident prone as a result of the design of the system. Excellent book on the topic with an entire chapte

No it's not a coincidence, these incidents are a result of the design of the system. Excellent book on the topic with an entire chapter related to maritime safety (or lack thereof): https://www.amazon.com/Normal-Acciden

The bumper may be crushed and may need to be replaced but the best outcome is that it redirects the majority of the force away from the critical support structure of the bridge.

I agree that Meta has tried but their solution is really completely different than a more traditional OS UI. Meta provides low level convenience functions SDK for the various native app development frameworks (mostly Unity and Unreal) to ac

Agreed, GIMP is powerful and just one UI refresh away from being a true alternative for many.
