Progress update on my project that turns CSV data into auto-generated car races: Using G7 per capita GDP as test data, with each lap representing one year. The race format makes economic trends surprisingly intuitive—you can actually feel when countries pulled ahead or fell behind.

Prototyped the future of data viz in Unreal Engine. Fed it IMF’s G7 per capita GDP data (1980-2027), and voilà—think ‘bar chart race’ meets cinematic experience. Swappable datasets, real impact. Early days, but this could be something.

I’m creating a 3D digital archive of Dadali, a gallery café that closed after half a century of operation. The video shows the training process for generating a 3DGS model (fast forward). We’ve entered an era where closing shops and homes facing demolition can be preserved entirely in digital space.

I created a 3D Gaussian of Inari Shrine in Nagaizumi, Shizuoka. This geosite is famed for its mysterious landscape where lava flows meet a multiple torii gates. The 3D technology beautifully captures the lava distribution. Though I roam freely in the game, please respect the actual sacred space!

Found the perfect overcast day to 3D-scan this hidden gem - the Monument to Shimada's Legendary Swordsmiths! Fun fact: the stone itself is shaped like a sword tip.
These masters crafted the famous "Otegine" spear and other legendary blades. Now, we can preserve their legacy in digital form. ⚔️☁️

Started developing a game in UE5 where you're an journalist chasing political scandals! 🕵️‍♂️ The printing press is your ultimate weapon (yes, really!) as you dig deep into corruption. Making traditional newspapers cool again through the power of gaming! 🗞️✨ #gamedev #indiegame #UE5

The keep of Kakegawa Castle in Shizuoka Prefecture is fascinating! Thanks to detailed point cloud data, it's now one of Japan's castles most ready to be featured in video games. 🏯🎮
