Spatial Insider

World Labs now turns the worlds you generate in Marble into Gaussian splats you can download as SPZ or PLY files. It takes about 20 minutes in Marble Studio, and devs can use the API to build splats from photos right inside their apps.

Hugging Face’s Reachy Mini robot is getting wheels, phone controls, and hats that change its personality. You can drive it around from your phone and see through its camera. Snap on a pirate hat and it becomes a pirate. There are already 500+ community apps, and it’s open source, so you can make your own. I don’t think we’re far from robots being a pretty normal thing to have at home. And imagine growing up with something like this. You build the robot yourself, then get to program what it does. Sure beats the robodog I had in the ’90s 😂

XREAL Aura is now available to order from $1,099. Shipping is expected in mid-November. 70° FOV, 95g glasses, 150+ XR apps, and Snapdragon Reality Elite running Android XR with Gemini. It supports hand and 6DoF tracking, plus voice, trackpad, and gamepad controls. No eye tracking. Really excited to check these out. So much great new hardware coming to spatial.

I’ve been using Niantic Spatial for months to create Gaussian splats, so it was really cool to meet the team and check out their office with a hidden doorway. Thanks for having me over @asimahmed!

I got to try Snap SPECS today. They are sick. More thoughts to come soon.

This is why GTA 6 is releasing now instead of next year. Gaming is about to change forever. This is Google’s Genie 4. It generates worlds in real time, complete with physics, sound, talking characters, and environments you can change as you play.

SpAItial just announced Echo-3 and a new iPhone capture app. Echo-2 could create a 3D world from a single photo. Echo-3 lets you scan real spaces and completely restyle them while preserving their real-world dimensions.

Apple just introduced the 14-inch MacBook Pro with M6, starting at $1,999. It brings faster graphics and on-device AI, Wi-Fi 7 and up to 24 hours of battery life. Preorders open Oct 28. Available November 6.

I can confirm that Tesla Cybercab is pretty cool.

Toybox Soccer on Apple Vision Pro is such a fun soccer game. I especially love the animations and hand tracking. It’s currently in beta, but I’ll let you know when it hits the App Store. Developed by @virtual_amir

Antigravity’s new Follow Me Bundle lets you control its 8K drone with a watch and ring. See the live view on your wrist and move it with your hand. It follows you as it films, and because it shoots in 360, you can even change the camera angle afterward. Available now for $799.
