Sure! I've been wanting to incorporate this exact thing for a "And let there be light simulator!"

Essentially, people in VR would be able to point and speak to create objects in a shared space.

This would be really incredible! Could maybe be a way to quickly make video game assets for testing and such. Although to make the meshes performant in a game engine you'd need to decimate them quite a bit as the marching cubes I used here produces really dense meshes.

Do you think the resulting meshes are amenable to auto-decimation tools? Also (directed to the previous poster), while VR applications sound cool, i must admit my interest really lies in improving the asset generation tools themselves. The work done in the original post is super inspiring, I'd love to see a more robust asset generation pipeline built up from tools like that.

Cool! I've got some Unity VR experience, though i don't know much about incorporating ML pipelines into it. I'm guessing there's resources out there? So basically you'd want speech -> text -> object?

Exactly!

I've got some of this working in Python, outside of Unity. Last time I looked at integrating with Unity there seemed to be some Google API requirements that were hard/annoying to meet in my few hours of digging. Should take another look. All the VR HMDs have mics.
