Cute. Only runs at about 1fps on my 5yo LG phone but it's a miracle it runs at all.

#52Nice. I'm loving seeing the increase in usage of Gaussian Splats these days.
And it's getting so much easier to create them too.

#53What the hell is "right drag"?
Hold down secondary mouse button, typically the right one, and move the mouse. (If you don't have a mouse attached, you might not be able to perform this action.)

#54What the hell is "right drag"?
It means click and hold the right mouse button, then move the mouse. Fair question, the label is pretty cryptic
Re: Inception-style curved map for turn-by-turn directions
#55Absolutely honest question: what is the advantage of this over a top view navigation with the orientation following the orientation of movement? Am I missing something?
If you've ever been confused about which turn is which with top down navigation, then this is for you. While driving a car, being able to at a glance know exactly what turn is what would have saved me countless wrong turns, my parents probably doubly so. One classic: there's a fork in the road on the way to my parents. One side is "straight", the other side is an exit. I took the wrong, exit side of that several time…
while I think that the widgets telling you which lane to put yourself in largely solve this kind of intersection confusion, I understand the problem you are describing
but this seems to me just a topdown and "third person" at the same time through the distortion, I don't see how it helps with knowing exactly where to turn, is it because it shows the way further down the turn (like, sideways after the turn in the demo) ?

#56Finally something new and shiny. Looks promising.

#57That was surprisingly nice. I get to see the far distance on the map. Something has to be done about turns, though. They’re far too whirly for me. Good demo!

#58I see a whole new business category being born: Nausea as a Service!
It's already been done - VR

#59I don't really know why, but the thought of my (elderly) mother using this made me laugh almost as hard as the El Risitas guy[1]. I adore it, and it also should never ever be used in any car GPS scenario. It's far too distracting, and puts far too much emphasis on the places you are not going.
I could see it being useful for a more exploratory style of map, however. Games like Pokemon Go come to mind as a place where this would be pretty cool.

#60Folded cities being primarily associated with Inception instead of ringworlds really shows you pr is everything.
