📣 This solo developer who currently works at Pixar as a Technical Director is building a VR rhythm game called Sock Puppet Superstar for Quest as an indie project, and over the last week he has been going viral on TikTok! 🤖Features/Tech: - Using Unity, OpenXR, hand tracking, and a custom voice synthesizer built in FMOD - Raise and lower your puppet to control the pitch - Works with hand tracking or controllers - Customize your sock puppet with colors, fabrics, accessories, and voices 📌 Devs can achieve this using the Meta XR Interaction SDK or Unity XR Toolkit (XR Hands) to add full hand support like what’s shown here. 🚀 Share this to give this solo indie dev more visibility! I’ll continue this bi-weekly with more indie devs who deserve the amplification!
We’re open-sourcing HY-World 2.0, a multimodal world model that generates, reconstructs, and simulates interactive *3D worlds* from text, images, and videos. Outputs can be integrated into game engines and embodied simulation pipelines. Key highlights: 🔹 One-click world generation Turn text or image into interactive 3D worlds automatically. 🔹 Pipeline-ready 3D outputs Editable 3D worlds for Unity and Unreal Engine, with standard 3D exports including mesh, 3DGS, and point clouds. 🔹 Unified world model system One model family for world generation and reconstruction across synthetic and real-world scenes. 🔹 Interactive character mode Explore generated 3D worlds in real time with physics-aware movement and collision support. ✨ Apply for access: 3d.hunyuan.tencent.com/sceneTo3D 🔗 GitHub: github.com/Tencent-Hunyua… 🤗 Hugging Face: huggingface.co/tencent/HY-Wor… 📄 Technical Report: 3d-models.hunyuan.tencent.com/world/world2_0…
