My first computer programming was Dragon 32 Basic, back in about 1982!
good morning
What a nice morning to find that Alzugaray, Taher @marwantaher.bsky.social , Davison @ajdavison.bsky.social have turned ACE into a SLAM system. Since we did ACE, I was wondering whether it was possible, and I always thought who if not those folks can pull it off. 🙂

Love that Gaussian!
Great diagram.
Live Demo of MASt3R-SLAM this afternoon in the demo session at #CVPR2025.
Full draft of the SLAM Handbook now released --- available as a free PDF, with a printed version coming soon. Now including Part 3, "From SLAM to Spatial AI" (I knew it would catch on eventually), with contributions from @hidematsu82.bsky.social and me.

I've been a Tamiya RC fan since owning and loving a Grasshopper in the 80s, and more recently built one or their RC kits with each of my kids (Hornet, LunchBox and Midnight Pumpkin!)
Great look at back at 2D scrolling methods in games.

It's 3PM. Exactly 40 years ago the first ARM processor was powered up. It worked. To mark the occasion, a bottle of champagne was opened and the time and date was written on the bottle - by Sophie Wilson IIRC. I hope today another bottle is opened to celebrate the anniversary.

They're back! We're very happy to be hosting this year's Dragon Meetup. You don't have to be a Dragon owner - or even know much about Dragons - to come to this celebration of the classic Welsh home computer. www.computinghistory.org.uk/det/76704/dr...
This is interesting — a recent study of mode share (the % share of transportation trips by car, transit, walking, biking etc) relative to city size and income levels in almost 800 cities in 61 countries. Interesting results. HT @davidzipper.bsky.social

RIP Shunsaku Tamiya, age 90, the chairman of legendary modelmaker Tamiya. He didn't found the company, but started working there in 1958, just four years after its founding, and helped it shift from its original line of wooden models into the plastic kits it is so well known for today.
Hard to believe that a decade ago, in preparation for the release of my game, I spent a month researching 2D cameras by playing through all my favorite 80s classics.

We’ve had fun testing the limits of MASt3R-SLAM on in-the-wild videos. Here’s the drone video of a Minnesota bowling alley that we’ve always wanted to reconstruct! Different scene scales, dynamic objects, specular surfaces, and fast motion.

Introducing MASt3R-SLAM, the first real-time monocular dense SLAM with MASt3R as a foundation.
Easy to use like DUSt3R/MASt3R, from an uncalibrated RGB video it recovers accurate, globally consistent poses & a dense map.
