Does this work with actual controller? I want to play with my family but my kid is too young to have a phone. He does have a controller though. We have 2 more controllers. Will be best if we can all play with controllers instead of touch screens.
Yes it does work with actual controllers as well! I've tested it with Xbox and Joy-Con controllers but any controller that you can connect to the central screen should work. Let me know if you have any problems connecting and I'll see what I can do.
Thanks. Very excited to play. I am trying it right now. Opened site on TV and pressed play now. From controller I pressed start. Then it asks to enter name. I am unable to go to that box for some reason. Can't move the pointer on TV any more to select that box. It should automatically be selected for input so that it shows up the keyboard. Will update this message or post a reply if I figure it or fail.
Edit: I think I can't move pointer on TV using controller any more because it's input is being captured by that screen at that point. May be assign a random name and give option to change the name.
Edit: Used Shields app to move pointer like actual mouse and was able to enter name and play the games.
Feedback: it might help to show who is controlling the screen at the moment when browsing games. I was connected with phone and my kid was on controller and initially I was mashing keys on controller to actually start the games (pressing A to start). Realized later than since I am the leader may be I should press A on the phone screen.
Are you opening the website via your smart tv's browser? If so, it could mean that the TV is not able to handle the live connections. I've noticed some Samsung Tv's exhibiting this behauviour. At the moment the recommended way is to run the games on a computer. Still a lot of optimization for me to do when it comes to smart tv's
Would it be possible to enable controllers on the client? That would be the best way to use a steamdeck. Could host on or stream to the steamdeck for one player but my friend also has a handheld
I think it could be possible to make it work like that but I'm not familiar with Steamdeck itself so I can't say for sure. Need to look into it. Just so I understood you correctly, you want to host the session on the steamdeck and control your own character via the deck, while at the same time your friend uses their own smartphone to control their character while looking at your steamdeck?
Ah ok, now I understand. I don't have a steam deck at hand but based on a quick google search I think it should be possible. The key is whether you are able to connect the steamdecks to the PC so that the Javascript Gamepad API recognizes the decks as controllers. You can connect the decks to the PC and if they show up on this site: https://hardwaretester.com/gamepad they should work with Gaming Couch!
See the demo on their homepage. Calling it a world simulator is a marketing gimmick. It's a worse video generator but you can interact with it in real time and direct the video a little bit. Next version of this thing will be worth looking, this one isnt.
There is soo much marketing bs around these things it drives me nuts. and it doesn't help that the large labs and credible individuals like denis use these terms. "world models" are video generator with contextual memory but that term is soo misplaced. when one thinks of a "world model" you expect the thing to be at least be physics engine driven from its foundation, not the other way around where everything is generated and assumed at best.
Based it on other video models, all the ones I have seen keep improving. This one should too. Infact, Google is doing it already with their Genie (IIRC). That one is high quality and interactive.
I don't know much about terminals but VTM was fun to play around. You could `ssh vtm@netxs.online` (now dead URL) and play around with dragable windows.
I think training image models to pass these very specific tests correctly will be very difficult for any of these companies. How would they even do that?
Hire a professional Photoshop artist to manually create the "correct" images and then put the before and after photos into the training data. Or however they've been training these models thus far, i don't know.
And if that still doesn't get you there, hash the image inputs to detect if its one of these test photos and then run your special test-passer algo.
I'm sure there's a way for them to give enough weight if they really cared enough. I don't think they should or would, but they could stuff the training data with thousands of slight variations if they wanted to or manually give them more importance. This might adversely affect everything else, but that's another story.
Z-image was released recently and that's what /r/StableDiffusion all talks about these days. Consider adding that too. It is very good quality for its size (Requires only 6 or 8 gigs of ram).
I've actually done a bit of preliminary testing with ZiT. I'm holding off on adding it to the official GenAI site until the base and edit models have been released since the Turbo model is pretty heavily distilled.
I made a heart monitor for very high heart rate https://github.com/SMUsamaShah/heart-rate which can be installed on phone as a PWA too. It could use some more polish, more features which I could do with an LLM again.
LLMs are generating app for an idea that can fit in few hundred lines of html/js. Had an idea that what if brushes were dithered in a painting tool and made a dithered painting tool. https://github.com/SMUsamaShah/dither-painter
These tools and code are ephemeral though. You don't need to use mine for example. Just ask the LLM of the time to implement the idea and in most cases it will work fine.
Few images I have looked at include the characters as well. When I watched "When Marine Was There" I loved the background stills and wanted to use them as wallpaper or something. The house with the lake looked otherworldly to me.
I don't know how to navigate this website and if it even contains the backgrounds only. Does it have those, are Ghibli movie backgrounds available anywhere else?
Edit: I have an Nvidia shield for gaming on TV.
