1/ Excited to present FunREC: "Reconstructing Functional 3D Scenes from Egocentric Interaction Videos" at #CVPR2026!

FunREC builds functional, interactable 3D digital replicas of real-world environments from a single egocentric interaction video.

👇 Here's me turning my own kitchen into a functional 3D digital twin, just by interacting with it.

@J365H300 @Tutrifour I believe this person is meaning that the older firmware doesn’t bake the speed - pedal - and FSD status into the video export.

The ArtiFixer code and model weights are now released! Links to both on our project page: https://t.co/Q0WnpcyyQj

Per-scene methods like 3DGS look great on captured views but collapse off-trajectory. We repair those artifacts and beat prior SOTA by 1–3 dB PSNR. 🧵(1/6)

3DGSソフトLichtFeld Studio用の無料プラグイン「Moshpit360」が公開間近。

360度動画から1クリックで3D空間を生成できます。
映像結合や位置合わせ、訓練設定などの専門工程をユーザーが意識せずに行える自動ワークフローが特徴。

現在最終調整中とのこと。（詳細はリプ欄）

@caydengineer @MentraGlass Not a dumb question, does it work with iPhone usbC to Teams App?
does it work with iPad USBC to Teams App?

[cayden 凯登 @caydengineer]

Our smart glasses now work as a USB webcam.

Plug them into your laptop and your computer sees from your point of view.

Use it in Google Meet, Zoom, OBS, Python, or straight to your OpenClaw.

We're making smart glasses so open, you don't even need our app.

SAM 3D Body is a CVPR 2026 award candidate paper from @AIatMeta

model recovers a full 3D human body mesh from a single RGB image

you can run it automatically, or guide the reconstruction with masks and 2D keypoints

thx to @NielsRogge for awesome demo idea

I am targeting casually measurement of 3DGS in Unreal Engine for not only survey but also Pre-visualization in video production.

Playcanvas is pushing the boundaries and making it available. Send them money, they are making industry 4.0 realer than any SAP presentation or consortium white paper ever has.

🚀 Major upgrades just landed in SuperSplat, the free and open source platform for 3D Gaussian splatting.

Here is a 24-MILLION-Gaussian scan streaming live to a web browser. Near instant load time. Solid 60 fps.

How? A new compute-based WebGPU renderer + automatic LOD streaming. 🧵

[KIRI Engine - 3D Scanner App @KIRI_Engine_App]

Featureless objects break most photogrammetry pipelines. Glossy, monochrome, no surface texture. Nothing for feature matching to grab onto.

We built a dedicated Featureless Object Scan Mode for exactly this. The chess knight here is basically worst-case: uniform color, smooth curves, specular highlights everywhere.

Left is Photo Scan Mode. Right is Featureless Object Mode.

3D Gaussian Splat support for Blender is finally in development https://t.co/kMAPL6smXq 💪

The next evolution of Hermes Agent is here!

Introducing Hermes Desktop: everything you love about Hermes, now native on your machine.

First demoed in Jensen's GTC keynote, it's now in public preview.

[Alex Coulombe @iBrews]

someone asked me why I would bother to create a Blueprint cleaner upper tool when Unreal Engine's native alignment tools already do this perfectly.

do they? apples to apples:

[peptidepirate🏴‍☠️ @peptidepirate]

The Reta series pt.4 🏆🏴‍☠️🏆🏴‍☠️🏆🏴‍☠️🏆🏴‍☠️
———————————————————

The potassium problem🏴‍☠️

GLPs increase urinary potassium excretion through the same renal mechanism that drives the sodium dump I spoke about🏴‍☠️

For me this started showing up around week 6 to 8 as muscle cramps at night🏴‍☠️

Add reduced food intake and most users are pulling in less potassium from food at the exact moment their kidneys are excreting more of it🏴‍☠️

The average person needs 3500 to 4700mg of potassium daily and most are barely hitting half of that even before starting a GLP🏴‍☠️

The symptoms hit quietly🏴‍☠️

Muscle cramps especially at night🏴‍☠️

Heart palpitations or a fluttery feeling randomly during the day🏴‍☠️

Weakness or fatigue that does not match your workout output🏴‍☠️

Constipation that magnesium alone is not fixing🏴‍☠️

Brain fog and irritability you cannot pin down🏴‍☠️

These are not Reta side effects🏴‍☠️

These are potassium side effects from running Reta without supporting your electrolytes properly🏴‍☠️

The fix🩹

Track potassium on your BMP every bloodwork pull🏴‍☠️

Aim for 3500 to 4700mg daily from food first🏴‍☠️

Real food sources avocado spinach sweet potato banana white potato salmon and beans🏴‍☠️

Electrolyte supplements that include 400 to 600mg potassium not just sodium🏴‍☠️

Coconut water 1 to 2 cups daily is an easy add🏴‍☠️ (Vietnamese harvested are my favorite taste wise)

Do not let a 12 dollar electrolyte upgrade be the reason your heart and muscles are misfiring🏴‍☠️

Honestly if we put this demo in a fancy XR headset, we’d call it jarvis. The future of 3d doesn’t involve the death of autocad, maya and blender. It turns those tools into a shared canvas of collaboration with ai agents.

[Nous Research @NousResearch]

We have been working closely with @nvidia to ensure Hermes Agent works smoothly on their new @NVIDIARTXSpark superchip and integrates with the new OpenShell runtime, which connects Hermes to @Microsoft's security primitives.

Watch our feature in the big announcement at Computex:
