My Asakusa travel map
🔗https://t.co/YQbTFCgCzF

My Asakusa by Sadako Sawamura, it’s a great memoir and I recommend it to anyone planning to visit Asakusa or Tokyo in general.

I made a map showing all the real Asakusa locations mentioned in the book, with page references & things to do. Try it out if you are in the area or just curious about the real locations of her stories.

Was testing how good body tracking on web actually is 🧪

Built a quick poc:
camera → pose → play (30+ FPS)

No install. Just URL. 3s start.

This might fit really well for
→ rehab
→ elderly care
→ HR wellness

Works on Mobile too👇

同じ場所に立ったまま、現実・過去・フィクションを切り替えられたら？

Street ViewとWorldLabsを組み合わせて、実在の場所を「別の時代・別の世界」に変換するプロトタイプを作りました。スマホブラウザでそのまま体験できます。

今回は3つの場所で試しました：

🎬 須賀神社の階段（君の名は）
→ あのシーンの場所が、アニメの世界に

🏙️ 日本橋（ALWAYS 続・三丁目の夕日）
→ 高架のない、昭和の日本橋へ

🚉 桜木町駅前（コクリコ坂から）
→ 昭和の駅前広場が蘇る

Ever wondered why navigation cant be fun?
I built a gamified geolocation system to change that.

Enter route coordinates,
Turn paths into interactive gameplay w/ collectables.
Unlock contextual info along the way.

Navigation becomes a gaming journey 🎮📍

My first try with @augg_io for #hackathonWinter2025 ✨
Mission: hunt the missing spell pieces to summon the meme god cat 😼🔮
Setup was smooth, with multi-tracking + persistence working great.
Perfect for large-area AR! 🚀

🎧 Added audio support to the DeviceMap PoC
Audio can now be recorded, loaded, or AI-generated, and anchored to space.

Combined with AR drawing, any environment can become a virtual exhibition space.

✏️ We’ve added AR drawing to our app!
Draw anything by hand, save it to a real location, and bring it back with a simple code.

Perfect for marking places in training, education, and tourism.
You can even build 3D structures from your drawings!
