Really appreciate the use of technology to make sites like these accessible to the world at large.
Just wanted to share that I am in the middle of a very similar project with a high profile client & the workflow we settled on has loosely been Lidar scans -> Postshot -> Supersplat (web optimization) -> Babylon.js. Of course we have video/image fallbacks & an unreal pixel streaming version as well - but the web performance and results on a modern mobile device have been spectacular so far!
So excited for the future of gaussian splatting :)
Wow, thanks for writing -- would love to see what you're building when you have a link to share! My emails in my profile or just will keep an eye out in general for this workflow.
UX is often thought of as solving an issue "for the user", which dismisses or redirects attention from the communication problem onto the individual. No one reframes it, nor should they, as solving engineer/developer "laziness or stupidness". Reading "The Design Of Everyday Things" made me more aware and empathetic, from both perspectives, when I can't find the right button to click or have to think about which way a door will open.
I'm super, super grateful to our public libraries and the amazing resources they offer— coming from an immigrant farm-laboring family in a tiny (<1000 population) town, our equally tiny library introduced me to computers in the 8th grade (which later got me in trouble for, um, "exploring" our police and school district's networks) thanks in part to a grant they received by the Gates Foundation. I wouldn't have the career I do now, or honestly even been aware of it, if it were not in part due to it.
My local library now is much, much more well endowed with resources from different media types and they're even getting a makerspace soon! I thankfully can afford my own books and toys to play with, but as a father of 2 young boys, I make sure we utilize the library often and even volunteer our time teaching the occasional workshop on new media/tech/design.
I think they're woefully underutilized and I'd be worried that they'd start to go away.
Absolutely. I'm fortunate enough to have had the opportunity once or twice to try it out in the Pacific NW area and was floored by how sore I was the day after.
Wish it was a more accessible sport in terms of economics.
You can get used gear pretty cheap. I've seen boards at my local Good Will, and occasionally people offering gear on FreeCycle.
Tickets can hurt. But most hills have specials, etc. Perhaps the times are a bit less convenient but none the less you can avoid full price with some tricks and effort.
