New top story on Hacker News: Show HN: Drivr – VR with real vehicles [video]
Show HN: Drivr – VR with real vehicles [video]
10 by greghgradwell | 3 comments on Hacker News.
This project combines VR with a real vehicle that you are controlling (or is controlling itself, in some scenarios). One advantage this has over traditional VR motion experiences is that your senses all agree with each other, thus greatly reducing the likelihood of motion sickness. The go-kart seen in this video is drive-by-wire and steer-by-wire, so the system will not let the player exit the defined safe area. If a player goes off course, the vehicle will take control, and return them to the start. The autonomous capabilities also allow for games where the player can focus on other objectives other than driving, such as target shooting. No infrastructure is required other than the vehicle and an open place to drive (which honestly has been the most challenging part lately). If you're interested in this project, I'd love to connect!

New top story on Hacker News: Show HN: Meemaw – Trustless and grandma-friendly wallet as a service
Show HN: Meemaw – Trustless and grandma-friendly wallet as a service
18 by marceaul | 5 comments on Hacker News.
Hey HN, Marceau here, founder of Meemaw. I was working on a different project (communities with better aligned incentives) for which I needed users to have access to a crypto wallet. I couldn't afford users to have to deal with private keys and what not, and I did not feel comfortable being locked to a non-transparent third-party provider for something as important. So I built an internal "wallet-as-a-service" around audited librairies. I dropped the original project since then and that service evolved into Meemaw. Many "web3 projects" would be better off without any web3 component. But if you do need your users to have a wallet, there are a few good reasons to use something like Meemaw: - great UX (no faffing around with private keys or seed phrases, easily customisable) - great DX (get up and running quickly, integrate with your existing system easily) - more secure (MPC, trustless) - low dependency risk (you've always got the option to self-host or export existing wallets) If you'd like a refresher on MPC wallets or Wallet-as-a-Service, I did my best to explain it without BS industry jargon: https://ift.tt/qtGY2rO If you have Docker and Node installed on your machine, you can have a full example running in less than 5 minutes: https://ift.tt/QvFB5zt You can already self-host Meemaw, and there will soon be cloud hosting as well, with the option to easily switch from one to the other at any time. The closed-source competitors are all (very) well-funded, but I think we can provide a better developer experience with higher security and reduced dependency risks. Right now, Meemaw is probably not ready for production, but we'll get there sooner rather than later. Your feedback would be greatly appreciated to continue moving in the right direction :)
