Viewmaxxing. Building spatial interfaces.

[karsten @karshuit]

Check out our new demo!
I've been experimenting with Gaussian splatting for spatial interfaces, and just released a playable demo here: https://t.co/XuNDjVX0uw
I'll keep developing and post updates, please comment for feedback and suggestions
Built on top of @playcanvas engine🔥

Japan was where Orbify first started taking off, before the wider internet caught on. 🇯🇵

Very cool to now see @gigazine covering it.

Great to see Orbify featured in @TheRegister

The article takes a closer look at the idea behind our continuously warped navigation interface, the patent, and the questions we still want to test through research.

@michaelybecker Exactly. The virality has basically turned into a massive, unsolicited user study 😅 Lots of useful signals in both the love and the criticism.

One thing I’ve learned from the internet:

Shape rotators immediately get Orbify.

Wordcels want a 12-page explanation of what problem it solves.

I’m starting to understand our target audience 😅

[karsten @karshuit]

“What problem does Orbify actually solve?”

Whenever you need to understand what’s around you and how it fits into the bigger picture, there may be a use case.

Navigation was our starting point, and we’re writing a research protocol to properly measure the pros and cons there.

Beyond that, we’re exploring other spatial interfaces 👀

Same core idea, different problems.

@janusch_patas you guys are having fun 😂

@MarioNawfal @JustonBrazda Now imagine being entertained along the way

Orbify was added to the curated “Awesome @playcanvas ecosystem" under 3d Gaussian Splatting on @GitHub with 478 stars! Thanks @willeastcott really appreciate it 🙏

@TheAppleDesign I'll just put this right here 👇

[Michael Becker @michaelybecker]

Holy shit. A new legitimately useful UX paradigm for navigation may have just dropped

[karsten @karshuit]

@usgraphics Hyperrealistic and preferably curved. More is more!

[karsten @karshuit]

@bilawalsidhu @TheAppleDesign Or maybe it’s time to add 3.5D to the discussion 🤔

[karsten @karshuit]

r/UXDesign you guys are hilarious. @Apple

Flashback to yesterday when Orbify made it to #2 on @hackernews 🤯

What if a 3D map could show where you are and where you are going at the same time?

This "Inception Map" concept takes a 3D Gaussian Splatting scene and warps it into a curved, vertical horizon.

You get the immersive detail of street-level 3D while still keeping distant landmarks and the bigger picture in view.

Think FPV drone navigation, city exploration, site surveying or even game-world maps.

3D maps don't have to look like maps. They can feel like worlds. 🤯
