FreeTimeGS – Free Gaussian Primitives Anywhere, Anytime – has been making waves online over the past two days. You may have already seen it. If not, here’s a great example: a live demo with minimal cleanup and no heavy post-production. What’s remarkable is the simplicity of their setup. This example shows a basic semicircle rig made from smartphones and budget light stands. No complex volumetric or photogrammetry system required—and yet, the result plays smoothly right in a mobile browser. Yes, even on my iPhone. You can also view this on Vision Pro! The next logical step? Let’s bring this into the new Spatial Web standard @IEEEorg IEEE 2874 and make it viewable in Apple Vision Pro, Android XR, and other upcoming headsets via open source XR web browser. Imagine freely flying through AI-powered Gaussian reconstructions directly in spatial environments cross platforms. We’re witnessing a major leap in spatial computing. AI-powered tools like this are reshaping every part of the creative pipeline. Can't wait to see what Apple has to say tomorrow at WWDC 25! Are you ready for it? What use cases excite you most? Drop your thoughts below—let’s discuss.

Recently, I've been playing with my iPhone ToF sensor, but the problem has always been the abysmal resolution (256x192). The team behind DepthAnything released PromptDepthAnything that fixes this. Using @Polycam3D to collect the raw data, @Gradio to generate a UI, and @rerundotio to visualize. Links at the end of the thread

I decided to create a Netflix-quality TV show in my bedroom for TikTok. And after 25 million views & 250k new followers in just 2 months, I can now say it's working. The world of storytelling is changing. This is what this means for the future of social media stories 👇 A few months ago I decided to ignore all common wisdom & decided to approach social media completely differently. Instead of quantity, I was going to go for quality. Instead making dumb stuff, I was going to intellectually challenge them. I was going to make a Netflix-quality TV show from my bedroom: and now it's exploding. With only 9 videos posted, today not only it has 25 million views so far, it has thousands engaged dedicated fans. And the best part? I'm only 20% of the way done. Today, billions of dollars are being raised by companies to fill the internet with A.I. generated slop. On the human side, every day marketers are constantly trying to uncover the latest "viral trick" to trick audiences into watching their trash. But the success of these videos show that what people are yearning for high-quality, hand-crafted content that truly respects them. Content that dares to try to stand out not just through cheap tricks, but through beautiful & emotional stories. In the end, I look at short-form video as a cinematic medium like any other. And while viral tricks come and go, stories with substance are the only ones that become timeless. So as you start crafting your next video, truly ask yourself: will anyone remember this 5 minutes after they watch it? If they don't - you are probably focusing on the wrong things. Thank you to all my Patreons for supporting my work through the years - and @brilliantlabsAR for the cool open source technology that powers this series.

Few know that Japan is all-in on geospatial intelligence. Not just LiDAR point clouds, but also detailed CityGML models and live transit data. By 2030, Japan’s goal is to achieve a “complete digital twin” that fuses real-time info from mobility to energy.

Performed a new Musical Calligraphy on “Emptiness” theme. The vertical drop of writing was manifested in a single session of a meditative 10min focus, while listening to/transcribing: “Spiegel im Spiegel” (by Arvo Part) Calligraphic column forms an elongated character 🈳 [empty]. Background made from unrestrained writing and an ink drop. Sealed with my most fitting name seal ⭕️ Feels like a new 1/1! #LWArtChallenge x #200tez

🚨 Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg predicts smart glasses will replace phones by 2030 " Smart glasses are going to become the next major computing platform. They will gradually replace phones by 2030, much like mobile devices surpassed computers without fully replacing them "
