Here is how I used video footage to create a custom location-based augmented reality experience with the help of AI.

- Wonder Dynamics (animation / rigging)
- Wayfarer (scanning / VPS)
- Blender (physics simulations / editing )
- 8th Wall (WebAR)

[Maryam Sabour @SabourMaryam]

This is amazing.

[Ian Curtis @XRarchitect]

Recreated #Tetris in #AugmentedReality during my commute on the train to and from work yesterday using #chatgpt4

Total development time: 1 hour ⏱️ Here's the breakdown:

54 min: Game Logic (this was a back and forth dialogue in which gpt4 planned out the best approach to take and wrote 100% of the game logic)
6 min: Game Aesthetics (generated a neon grid texture from midjourney and applied to an <a-plane> in the scene)

[Cristiano R. Amon @cristianoamon]

Big shoutout to @SabourMaryam, GM and Head of Business, #AR Headsets at @Nianticlabs, for joining us in Maui for #SnapdragonSummit. The new reference design, powered by @Snapdragon AR2 Gen 1, looks awesome! Can’t wait to try it out!

[Maryam Sabour @SabourMaryam]

THIS 💯

[CIX 🦾 @cixliv]

Why I believe the #1 use-case for AR/VR is active movement:

For the first time in human history our body is the controller. We are IN the game.

Now why does that matter?

Almost all video games are EMULATING physical activity.

Hold up and let me explain. 👇

[Maryam Sabour @SabourMaryam]
