Been improving the gui of my 3D-web-Player runtime. - What al I building ?

==> An FPS game editor, using photos as 1st imput. ==> It delivers a realistic FPS game. immersive-visit-game as we like to call it. ==> The FPS-Runtime is the lightest FPS existing today. It works on any web device, even Smartphones.

tmilard··on Pebble Mega Update – July 2026
I kind of think so. This is why I believe the battery duration is so good. But it is a better eink display then 10 years ago.

Very interesting paper. I can see street-view using it to perfect the 3D analysing of the photo-video they catch with there google-car. What a wonderfull time we are living in ! Specificaly in the Video to 3D reconstruction. Every month, a new brick is put in place.Super

GS is really the technology on the hype ! It's a rupture to 3D triangle display and tools. Could be an issue. But so nice and easy to create from photos!

tmilard··on The Lightest FPS Game
1) I think .kkrieger was a one stop demo dating from 2004. free-visit is is web and smartphone compliant. https://ibb.co/wrwp17Vp

2) 3D-Editor : It also has a 3D Editor that transform a serie of 30 photos into an FPS. https://ibb.co/FC9Hzj2

tmilard··on The Lightest FPS Game
Can I know on what device you are using ? Smartphone or PC ? Mac ? What model ? (thanks)
tmilard··on The Lightest FPS Game
It's funny. My side job was to try to make a virtual visit builder. Until I discovered yesterday that I had done the lightest FPS game player. Funny !
tmilard··on Ask HN: What Are You Working On? (Nov 2025)
I think You are right It's a bit idiotic from me to be cautious and say 'result in 3 days'. I could say 4 Hours now.

And yes.It's not 100% automatic. I agree, my low point.

tmilard··on Ask HN: What Are You Working On? (Nov 2025)
Thank you civilian for your answer and hints. It's funny I though matterport was more like me. Because both of us make " virtual reality".
tmilard··on Ask HN: What Are You Working On? (Nov 2025)
I wanted to give anyone the magic power to make himself an FPS game of their place (appart, museum,ect...). Still not perfect but it's light and my 3D editor is simple enough for anyone. - No coding. - And no need for Unity or Unreal.

==> Here is a photo of the Editor : https://ibb.co/FC9Hzj2

==> website with an example of a FPS visit https://free-visit.net

Please be honest, tell me why I don't have traction.

tmilard··on Reminder to passengers ahead of move to 100% digital boarding passes
Let's be honnest : more and more service will move to "only Smarphone" way. For economic reason (less process so less expences).

So what.

tmilard··on Ask HN: What are you working on? (October 2025)
Side project: - people turn the photos of their place into an FPS. https://free-visit.net
tmilard··on Ask HN: What are you working on? (September 2025)
Improving my 'Video game generator from photos'. The bottleneck of this kind of generator is 'how much time to obtain the video game". I managed on my last vacation (it's a side project) to reduced it to 2 hours. This is an example of one FPS made by my tool : https://free-visit.net/fr/demo01
tmilard··on Ask HN: What are you working on? (September 2025)
Ha ha ha. Funny joke it seems
tmilard··on Ask HN: What are you working on? (September 2025)
Idea looks interesting if done well. I believe you should, on your landing page, show an example : - mini photo of a bill - what it generated.

So people get it right away

tmilard··on Ask HN: What are you working on? (September 2025)
Wonderfull nice looking and clear landing page. Best I have seen in a month. Bravo

tmilard··on Fei-Fei Li: Spatial intelligence is the next frontier in AI [video]
You said : "- detecting lines from pixels - detecting geometry in pointclouds - constructing 3D from stereo images, photogrammetry, 360 panoramas"

  ==> For me it is more something like :
   Source = crude video-or-photo pixels  (to) ===> Find simple many rectangle-surface  that are glued together one another.
This is, for me, how you really go easily to detecting rather complexes geometry of any room.
