We just open-sourced Window Mode Can’t wait to see what people build with it!
Head-tracked “Window Mode.” Your front camera finds your head. The view reprojects in real time so the screen feels like a window into the 3D scene. True3D, no glasses.

Window mode is a 3D camera controller that emulates a window into the virtual world. You can imagine that your computer screen is really a portal into a 3D space. It's under a MIT license github.com/True3DLabs/Window…

It works by tracking the position of your head relative to the webcam, then re-rendering the 3D scene accordingly. This gives off the illusion that the 3D scene is really there, without specialized hardware. Video explainer coming soon on our YouTube: piped.video/@true3dlabs

All the rendering for this demo is done with our spatial-player library. You can install it on npm here. npmjs.com/package/spatial-pl… spatial-player is our framework for working with voxel and splat based 3D videos and static scenes.

Simple head tracking is really cool! Work in progress for fun v0-website-style-merge.verce…
You should try @Replit agent instead of V0, way more powerful!

Really cool - might try to get a threejs render working. Respect for MIT licensing

This is software driven only, or hw dependent?

This is one step aaay from bieing binocular vr with a cyan/magenta mode

Hi Daniel, I have made something very similar to this, was planning to release very soon. So it’s interesting to see. Can I ask, why open source, and not patent, I feel the business edge is a bit lost. Although I can appreciate the source with be available via JavaScript.

How does it effect battery life?
Replying to @DannyHabibs
I need a mobile version of this that can change my background NOW
Replying to @DannyHabibs
I've seen this project or exactly the same looking one years ago.
Replying to @DannyHabibs
Wait and see. We already have plans.
Replying to @DannyHabibs
Hmmm, much needed in cad tools, less gain
Replying to @DannyHabibs
How is this different from the demo I saw 15 years ago with a wiimote? The concept is old but no one makes software to utilize it

I imagine it will be the beginning of countless websites no one visits because danny can't tell the difference between control and almost control which is why waymos run over people.
