About mnorris

I built Mukbang 3D (mukba.ng), an app that turns food photos into interactive 3D models using Gaussian splats.

I'm also continuing to investigate ways to turn short videos into interactive 3D videos with content that pops out using Gaussian splats and photogrammetry.

email is mnorris@mukba.ng

    The smallest Nvidia gpu I've run Sharp on is an Nvidia T4 which I think has 16 GB on the chip

    I'm Michael. I built https://mukba.ng because I felt like 3D creation tools were too complicated. All of the Gaussian Splat embeds that I see on the web require you to create a Gau…

    I haven't seen any performance issues for Claude Code, even when I'm running like 20 in one browser tab and looking at them all at the same time (rendered with xterm.js), but Gemin…

    I built DeepSteve ( https://github.com/deepsteve/deepsteve ) with a similar itch but went the other way. Instead of adding graphics to the terminal, I put the terminal in a place t…

    I’m making a detective themed iOS-based visual novel with React Native. Making the game engine was easy. Making the story consistent, believable, and interesting has been the bigge…

    Thanks for the feedback. Deepsteve is a node server that runs on your machine, so the website is designed to look like DeepSteve's UI. You really just access it at localhost:3000 i…

    disclaimer: I work on a different project in the space but got excited by your comment DeepSteve (deepsteve.com) has a similar premise: it spawns Claude Code processes and attaches…

    Last month I posted Mukbang 3D on here but I didn't get any discussion so I thought I'd give it another crack since I've put a bunch more into it. Since last time, I've replaced th…

    Why food? It's static, and AI 3D models do not make food that I want to eat. Using photogrammetry means that high quality reconstructions of real food look tasty - it's an easy qua…

    The existence of LLMs has made me feel more alive and better able to live in the moment. So what if a machine can write a novel? I don't even want to read it. Human intention is wh…
