Testing off-axis projection demo. Basic scene layout in Blender glb -&gt; detailed splat via World Labs Three.js for engine MediaPipe for face tracking Next step is to add a character you can move around in the environment

re-masked my living room with the Quest3, transforming it into a old-school Game Boy aesthetic.

15mb gaussian splat generated from a single Midjourney image running extremely smooth on the web. 2026 will be the year for world models.

Created an off-axis projection demo using mediapipe for face tracking, threejs and a 3D scanned shoe. Try it out yourself…

Just tested Grok for the first time, and It’s surprisingly solid at coding compared to other AI models. I used it to generate the logic for this web based 3D augmented reality Pong game, and it handled it well. This took a bit of back and forth but still pretty quick.

Visualizing my re-designed living room in 3D Nano banana -&gt; World Labs -&gt; WebAR (threejs) Each of these gaussian splats are only 1.5 mb in size (.spz file type)

Created this game demo over the weekend without writing a single line of code! Built via bolt (Claude Sonnet 3.7) and powered by R3f + three.js Try it yourself - dodge enemies with real-time physics. Here's how I created the game + a cloneable character controller project 1/7

Reimagining my living room with a classic Game Boy style using augmented reality and VPS.

First test stitching together World Labs generations to build an interactive fps experience. Every environment you see was generated from single images. How it was built:

AI-Generated QR Code Augmented Reality V2.0 Mars Test it out yourself in thread 👀

Been experimenting with a similar technique lately Midjourney —&gt; Gaussian Splat So cool to see this generative AI video to 3D workflow. Excited to see where it’s headed

I built an entire 3D editor this past weekend with -- using natural language 🤯 Powered by React, Three.js, and the Rapier physics engine. I believe AI will soon enable us to create the tools we need the moment we think of them. Thread 👇

Thursday night vibe coding with bolt.new (via Claude 3.7 Sonnet) Rapier + three.js 👀 debug mode

Here’s how to create this cool 3D scene from a single image! 📸 Midjourney (isometric image generation) Trellis (Image to 3D Gaussian Splat) Browser Lab (3D Editor Splat Import)

The future of the web looks different. Here is another WebAR experiment. Look at those details 👀 #AugmentedReality

Experimenting with image-to-world: creating consistent 3D environments from a single photo. As someone who studied architecture, this feels like a glimpse into the future of spatial creation and I’m excited to see where World Labs takes it.

Finally got my Gaussian Splat picture up and running in Augmented Reality—all via the web This is how I want to capture places + memories 🖼️ Where should I hang it up?

Face tracking + 3D model morph targets Built with Bolt Rendered Using Three.js Powered by MediaPipe Try the demo here: Bolt's new mascot maybe 😅 clone the project -&gt;

Claude 3.7 Sonnet is seriously impressive It goes beyond basic logic, capturing subtle nuances. Previous models for me was just about getting 3D experiences running, but 3.7 adds polished details—particle trails, collision visuals, and flawless physics #threejs

Morning stroll into a World Labs portal. I picture a future where you describe your environment and it instantly materializes around you.

I’m excited for the future of interfaces tools like this open up new ways to explore interactions pretext, three.js, world labs

Really cool seeing this on the quest in mixed reality. I put together a quick demo using WebXR (Three.js), Spark (LoD), and Danny’s raspberry Gaussian splat capture.

Really cool we’re at the point where you can build custom, personalized tools for your own niche 3D workflows. Built this with GPT-5.5, Spark, and Marble yesterday to get better precision + control for creating collider meshes for 3DGS experiences. Live:

I shrunk myself down to action figure size and can now interact with and explore the tiny world on my living room coffee table. Wait until 7 seconds in 👀🛋️

40m Coit Tower Gaussian splat in my living room. Built with GPT-5.5 + three.js (Spark 2.0 LoD). Running fully on-device via quest 3 If we could just get WebXR passthrough on Vision Pro too…

Experimenting with environment styles in my off-axis projection demo. These are Gaussian splats rendered in the browser, switching via keyboard. -&gt; Blender basic layout -&gt; World Labs (chisel) -&gt; three.js / Spark 2.0 -&gt; Mediapipe (face-tracking)

having fun bringing my ChatGPT Images 2.0 to life "A 360 image of a golden state warriors themed spaceship interior" then used Marble, Spark and Three.js to turn it into a persistent, interactive world I can walk around in. With some added DoF and splat particle effects

Persistent world models on the web. No 60-second time limit. World Labs × SparkJS × Three.js × Rapier 🌎

Finally got my game boy stylized portal running on the quest3 🕹️👀 I think I’ll stay in here for a while.

Why not use the real-world as a game level? This is a real-time augmented reality prototype using a physics based character controller, all running on the web 👀

Pipeline: → Image (Midjourney) → Gaussian Splat (World Labs) → Web (SparkJS / Three.js) → Mixed Reality (Quest 3)

Off-axis projection experiment no. 2 mediapipe for face tracking, sparkjs for gaussian splat rendering via threejs

Another 15 min with o3-mini to build Tetris in WebAR Try it yourself here: Also shared a full walkthrough on how I built it

gaussian splat augmented reality portal 🚪

Continuing to enhance my web-based 3D editor built entirely with natural language via powered by Three.js + React. You can now create a basic scene and transform it into a work of art using Stability AI’s Structure Model. Try it out yourself 👇

A new way to shop online? This augmented reality experiment explores a new approach to consumer interaction with online shopping. Wait until the end 👀 This #WebAR experience uses real-time reflections, baked cloth simulations and some #AI generated image textures.

One year ago I challenged myself to create a WebAR experience every week. Here are some of my favorites from 2022 👀 I’m thankful for all the amazing people I met along the way 🙏 the future is here. #AugmentedReality

Sunday night build. Guassian splat lab for post-processing and particle vfx on the web (spark/threejs) All splats generated from images.

Recreated the legendary Snake game in AR in just 25 mins! 👀 ChatGPT-4 was the coding mastermind, covering 99% of the work. Minimal intervention from me, check out the final result! 🕹️ #ChatGPT4 #AugmentedReality #8thWall
