Definitely! Browsers are just now adopting the WebGPU specs and features needed to run LLMs locally. Chromium is pretty good now, with Firefox lagging behind by a few months. But I do think its the right time for devs to start experimenting and prototyping what embedded models can do, and the use cases that they can open up. I think there is a lot of new design innovations to be uncovered

That would be great!

Hi Everyone! This is the code part for a recently published paper that explores the idea of augmented augmented reality (AAR), found here: https://jjhartmann.github.io/AugmentedAugmentedReality/

We use a tiny actuated projector that is attached directly to an AR HMD to enhance the user's environment by projection mapping content. This gives the AR user a way to enhance their environment outside the headsets field-of-view while also solving some issues related to accommodation-vergence conflicts (VAC) by projection mapping to nearby surfaces.

Crucially however is the affordances this can provide when communicating with external, non-augmented user. The projector can be used as a bridge between the real unaugmented world and the virtual environment the AR user resides in. Imagine if you could show a collaborator a 3D model by using a perspective mapping so it looks 3D to the external user? Or collaborate on documents through an ad-hoc large display? These are some of the designs we look at in the paper, so if that sounds interesting, check it Github repo and paper!
