Building a 3 camera ingestion app for @Insta360 X5 footage → #gSplat datasets. Group & sync matching takes and extracting perspective images directly from fisheye (so I can control what stays out of frame → me🙋♂️).
AI is 🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌

Satellite replay of Dujuan becoming a typhoon and heading toward Japan. That’s a big boy!
Geostationary satellite imagery + weather data replayed in 4D.

OK, launch day!!
Over the past few weeks I built a fully browser-resident implementation of COLMAP, using WASM and WebGPU (-- link in reply --).
No uploads, no installs, no setup. Just drop images or video and run the pipeline. Then export and drop results into a 3DGS tool of your choice.
The first naive implementation was about 10x slower than native but with many optimizations it's now faster than the original!
Go give it a try!

🚨 This HIT-N-RUN Case shouldn’t be allowed to end with just a few phone calls.⛔️
#WATCH The driver was reportedly caught by the public and, admitted that he doesn’t have a driving licence and had started driving just five days ago. He also appears to be a minor.
If that is true, the bigger question is: WHO owns the vehicle, and who handed it over to an unlicensed driver?
The driver may be off the road for now, but unless the owner is identified and held accountable, he could be back behind the wheel by tonight or tomorrow.
🛑 Please share this video widely.
And the owner’s identity and details should be established through due process and made known through official action.
This isn’t just about one reckless driver. It’s about who enabled him to be on the road in the first place. @wftrps @DCPTrEastBCP @acpwfieldtrf @Jointcptraffic @ChristinMP_ @Mohandas @republic @TOIBengaluru @vinodblru @anil_lulla @NammaBengaluroo
Accountability MISSING ⛔️
This is not an “accident”. This is a governance failure with a body count waiting to happen.
For months, #Varthur and #Gunjur residents have been begging authorities to fix this road. Work started, was abruptly stopped, and now we hear about re-tendering. Meanwhile, commuters are left to navigate a dangerous, unfinished stretch every single day.
Then comes a tanker without a number plate, allegedly driven by a person who reportedly had no driving licence and had learnt driving only five days ago.
If this is the standard of road maintenance + contractor supervision + enforcement + accountability, what exactly are taxpayers paying for?
Officials cannot hide behind tenders, files and “process” when citizens are risking their lives on these roads.
@GBA_office @BECCUPDATES @krishnabgowda @MALimbavali @DKShivakumar @GBAChiefComm - FIX the road, FIX the enforcement, identify those responsible and answer the public.
Varthur doesn’t need another assurance. It needs accountability- and it needs it now.

My journey with immersive storytelling began over a decade ago with Le Musk, exploring new languages of story through 3D, 360° VR, spatial experiences and scent.
Today, that journey continues with the launch of the ARR Immersive App on Apple Vision Pro.
This is a place where music, movement and storytelling come together through immersive experiences, from exclusive performances and Le Musk to ARR Live, with much more to come.
I hope you’ll enjoy this new chapter with us.
Available now on the Apple App Store for Apple Vision Pro.

Be careful of @urbancompany_UC . At the time of booking a service I was presented with a different rate card, claiming “transparent pricing”. After quotation, the item price on the rate card increased! Care to explain @UC_Assist ?
Dear @urbancompany_UC I want the tax invoice for my UC membership. Would you please list it on your app instead of being shady about it?
I’m tired of your chatbot sending me the wrong invoice, despite it asking me whether I wanted the UC membership invoice. I’ve asked thrice. Now I sense a dark pattern.
@apollodiag you are now unreliable for booking blood tests, since you conveniently decide to push collection time to whatever time you wish with no regard for someone who has booked a time slot after fasting a certain number of hours. Why do you even commit if you can’t service?

I firmly believe that we can literally feel the amount of handmade human care put into something.
That’s why the old animated films often feel like they have more “soul.”
That is the expression of human care you’re sensing.
I hope we don’t lose this.

Happy to see a paper from India in the volumetrics / radiance fields space
[SIGGRPH '25] AD-GS: Alternating Densification for Sparse-Input 3D Gaussian Splatting.
Contributions:
• An alternate densification framework:
- High densification to enable recovery of fine-grained details.
- Low densification involving aggressive pruning of Gaussians to mitigate artifacts.
• A geometry-constrained training phase:
- Encourages edge-aware depth smoothness.
- Ensures pseudo-view consistency to correct artifacts introduced during aggressive densification.
• Significant improvements in novel view rendering under sparse input:
- Fewer floaters.
- Richer reconstruction of scene details.
Dear @IndiGo6E , if you wish your customers to be loyal, please don’t make it a pain to add retro claim points. I wasted 15 minutes trying to find it on your website and failed. Although your FAQ suggests I could. Also please allow people to correct their gender/name on signup
