15mb gaussian splat generated from a single Midjourney image running extremely smooth on the web. 2026 will be the year for world models.

@influenist @Scobleizer That’s the image target bleed the augmented reality is tracking via @the8thwall you can see some of the examples here #readme" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">github.com/8thwall/8thwal…

@XRarchitect @Scobleizer Do is see blue screen bleeding on the side ? 🧐

Testing sol 5.6 tonight. Built this using 8thWall webAR + sparkjs (open source) with a world labs gaussian splat generation of new interior design of my living room

@unholysmoke Yes, once I get back to my desk. But check out @the8thwall for webAR image tracking, @sparkjsdev for solar rendering and then @theworldlabs for generation

@XRarchitect Ian can you ask 5.6 to dump a brief MD of how it built this, libraries used etc? Just to give me a head start?

@JohannesTscharn Hah yes! Tracking is really nice and you can connect super easy with other tools now like sparkjs

@XRarchitect Love it, I was worried about 8th wall going away when they wound down but seems like it’s even better now

@abd__ahmad Using @sparkjsdev with LoD! Helps with really good frame rate 👍

@XRarchitect the splat-to-webAR path is the fun part here. how's it holding up framerate-wise on mobile? in-browser splats usually start choking once you're past a few hundred k, curious if 8thwall is doing any culling for you

@wael_hefni Miles was inspired and did it! So cool

@XRarchitect Clean work Ian🔥 What if you lock the room in 3D space for 6DoF + Gyroscope to get perfect physical tracking while walking around? Sounds wild, but Sol 5.6 and Fable 5 have proven that nothing is impossible right now 🚀

@menrva33 @claudeai Well this is even cooler than mine 😅👏 great work! It aligns so well too!

My office is so ugly I gave it a Gaussian splat makeover instead. 😬 Inspired by @XRarchitect’s post 🙏 while scrolling X on my lunch break. Started with Fable. Failed several times. Only 30min lunch break, so I switched to Opus 4.8 in @claudeai and built a Swift app prototype with ARKit instead. Input: 4 multiview images + one lazy prompt into @theworldlabs. Video/pano-to-splat is next. Now I can literally walk through my own room like a holodeck. A lot of use cases for my clients incoming. @Tibbzzee I have a wild idea. Better integrate the worldlabs API in your app 😉 #XR #VR #GaussianSplatting #ComputerVision #ConTech #BuildInPublic @BoocaMart

@JohannesTscharn @specs @UnitreeRobotics @dimensionalos Very cool!

Augmented Reality is the natural interface for robotics. Not only for giving commands, but also to visualise hardware data (like LiDAR) natively in 3D. @specs AR glasses, @UnitreeRobotics Go2 Lite quadruped, @dimensionalos OS for the robot

@ignoraceisfree 🙏🙏 check out 8th Wall! They just open sourced it a couple months ago. Cool tech!

@XRarchitect this guy is always tinkering with the coolest concepts.

@martin_casado Let’s go Brit! 👏👏💯

This is incredible. Brittani is an artist, not a developer. But with Fable in Cursor (plus a lot of her art) she's managed a large, immersive 3D world.

@BrittaniNatali wow! so sick

World Labs + Fable + Threejs 😮‍💨

@Ferhan_XRB wow! they turned out so cool!

@dmarcos @theworldlabs I'll see you there! There is also an Autodesk community event on that wed, I can share more info soon

What are cool side events besides @theworldlabs ones around Siggraph people are going to? I’ll be in LA but won’t have a pass (too pricey)

@KyrieBlunders Built using @theworldlabs api. Gaussian splats are the output representation, but there’s a lot more happening behind the scenes in terms of 3D reconstruction and world generation.

AI? it's just gaussian splatting

@isaac_mason_ Nicccee 👏👏

I don't know how to make a tool without making a website for it... New packcat website! Making multiplayer web games? Stop using JSON.stringify + JSON.parse! Use packcat!

@Vivek4real_ Tag the creator @mountain_mal 🙏🙏Built with with @theworldlabs API

THIS IS WHAT THE FUTURE OF REAL ESTATE LOOKS LIKE. POWERED BY AI. WILD TIMES AHEAD.

@jamesckane @BrittaniNatali @theworldlabs @sparkjsdev @threejs Damn this looks nice 👀👀

Two new kilometer-scale STARSPEED missions just landed in partnership w/ @theworldlabs 🚀 Pursue rogue AI through the luxury space station Saturnalia 🪐 toward a boss battle in Earth's capital ship 🛳️ 100m+ splat levels streamed via open source @sparkjsdev & @threejs 🔗➡️💬

@mintdotgg I need to add this tv car to the first environment!

YOU NO LONGER HAVE TO WAIT FOR YOUR FAVORITE GAMES TO GET REMASTERED I rebuilt the maps for Disney skate adventure from just screen grabs and it generated exportable worlds in minutes with mint Our favorite games from the past, are ahead of us

@SylvanShen so sick! bringing this all together, i didn't even know it's possible to add xr on top of the demo hah

I am launching a small storytelling series called「Elsewhere」— each posts a different way of crossing between realities (technically and narratively 😉) 🟡 Ep.1: Maybe in another dimension of reality you can face the fear of the backrooms. Inspired by @XRarchitect off-axis projection viewer. I thought this is cool but passive, so I added a little interaction, paired with @specs Snap Spectacles. • Built on top of SensAI World Model Kit (Web) from @SensAIHackademy • @theworldlabs Marble, @sparkjsdev Spark.js @MetaHorizonDevs @MetaforDevs IWSDK @LensStudioDev @specsfordevs
