🌍 What if the entire Earth could be streamed as a photorealistic 3D world?
This prototype renders billions of 3D Gaussian splats directly in the browser.
Powered by @playcanvas . WebGPU WebGL.
The technology is ready. The remaining challenge is capturing the planet.

When someone says "With WebGPU web games will be revolutionized" - they do not understand the web games platform.
Same with WASM. Been hyped, and pushed as a silver bullet, and it is not.
Web 3D is a tough and complex platform. It is not just another "compilation target".

Bragging about how much software you’re shipping with AI is like holding down the shutter button and bragging about how many photos you took.

Building 3D Editor - is not about coding it, its all about:
1. Architecture and strong technical structure.
2. Understanding user workflows and UX.
3. Information Architecture to help users build intuition.
4. Extensibility - through proper engineering.
5. Performance and stability.
6. Long term maintenance and consistency.
Code - is just 10% of it.

Non-technical leaders, fuelled by hype, force AI and use it as an excuse to fire a large chunk of their engineers.
Leading their products to instability and user churn.
Maybe it will lead to the demise of such companies, and enable opportunities for more technical leaders?

The @playcanvas team has solved collision for 3D Gaussian splats. Install splat-transform via NPM to get a CLI tool library that can output high quality voxel-based collision. Here you can see a splat navigated in first person mode with voxel rendering toggled on/off. 🧵

Synchronising data in space context: stations, bases, control.
Between different devices as well as across space with control.
It is an interesting challenge.
Today there are two technologies to solve it: CRDTs and OTs.
And both have cons and pros in the context of space communication. With latency of 2.5s between the Moon and Earth.

As much as we would want to deliver complex topics, and put aside emotions and human factors. The real world is not utopia. And empathy is important. Especially when you have controversial opinions.
I used to deliver my arguments in a very cold and harsh manner, wishing it would be the most efficient way, but at the end of the day, we talk to humans, who have emotions, and the form of delivery often is more important, especially in the long term and for appealing to the masses.
"But Gamers Nexus isn't anything like Digital Foundry"
Then why is the response exactly the same: youtu.be/NxjhtkzuH9M?t=916
This isn't drama. This is about waking up viewers to a pattern they'll eventually become allergic to. These old overused "arguments" are becoming lifeless.

Good morning, world! 🌎
We have spectacular new high-resolution images of our home planet, all of us looking back through the Orion capsule window at our Artemis II astronauts as they continue their journey to the Moon.
ALT One-third of Earth peeking through the window of the Orion capsule. The planet is a dreamy pale blue, swirling with white clouds and reflected sunlight. Although Earth only fills a fraction of the image it is the brightest object in the image by far. The capsule window is surrounded by a thick frame held in place with bolts, reminiscent of a heavy duty airplane window. It is dark in the capsule, but the outlines of straps and various components of the capsule are visible. Brighter white components are visible in the upper right corner. Credit: NASA/Reid Weisman

Meta is singlehandedly moving forward whole VR industry. (And Valve a bit).
The state of VR at #GDC2026 with @c_pruett: bit.ly/3P0QTS0
The game industry is changing, and so is VR. Here's what's working, what's next, and what it means for developers. 🧵
