Enthusiastic Web/XR developer with a dash of self-hosting, home automation, and 3D printing. Photos and pictures of kittens and pups will get likes.
Here's a little WebXR/LLM experiment, inspired by two talks at @frontmania.bsky.social about "Built-in AI" (by @rowdy.codes) and "A11y and AI" (by Elga de Klerk).

The concept is a narrator that can explain what the user is seeing, using Gemini Nano on the device itself.

My first little #LLM powered project.

* It retrieves the last 50 items from my RSS reader
* Next, llama-3:3B is used to create a summary of the article.
* The result is then converted to audio using piper.
* All done on self-hosted hardware.

Perfect to listen to while walking the dogs.

Recorded some footage of my Nethack VR project.

My main focus is to keep it as close to the original, but did end up adding attack animations for clarity.

Would love feedback on how it looks and feels. Is it clear what I'm going for? Does it look right? And would you expect audio?
