Today, we’re launching @autoaicam, a camera that builds personal apps for anything you point it at.

How does it work?
- Take a photo
- Auto picks a Frame, a mini-app built and designed by you or our community
- The Frame does something for you: track calories, virtually try on outfits, identify a plant, and much more

How many of you have a camera roll full of photos that are really actions or reminders? Auto turns these photos into something useful.

This is crazy. @IndianaUniv Advanced Visualization Lab turned 203 people into Gaussian Splats and assembled them in SuperSplat. 🧍🚶🧘🧎

In two years, the level of detail you can capture in a 3D Gaussian Splat has skyrocketed. In this scene on SuperSplat, I can zoom right in on a certificate and the text is perfectly legible. Imagine where we will be in another 2 years. 🪄

A cat in a splat!
So fuzzy, imagine that! 🐱✨
A swirl, a twirl, of color and fur,
A Gaussian dream - it’s all a soft blur!
Rendered in real time, right where you’re at.

Our in-house artist been making a small diorama scene with pixelated old-school look with mix of modern shaders (post-effects). She looks like Megumin!
Made with @PlayCanvas and WebGL.

14 years ago, @daredevildave and I started coding the @PlayCanvas Editor. I'm so proud to be open sourcing 100% of the client code today. ❤️

This is, without doubt, the best macro photography Gaussian splat I have ever seen. Prepare to bee amazed. 🐝

Introducing support for ESM-based Scripts in PlayCanvas 🪄
https://t.co/0sXSrUsUnY

[Will Eastcott @willeastcott]

3 years ago, I started the process to migrate the @PlayCanvas Engine's Mocha-based unit tests from running in the browser (via Karma) to running in @nodejs. Today, that work is complete with 1,515 unit tests now running in Node.js. 😅

The benefits are:
✅ Tests run over 10x faster
✅ Tests can be debugged easily in VS Code
✅ Tests are now modern ESM-based JS
✅ Tests execute the engine source directly
✅ Almost all of the engine now runs in Node.js
✅ 5 NPM dependencies removed
✅ Test coverage reporting

I guess this is my Christmas gift to the community! 🎁
