🇺🇸An entire New York district has been built in Minecraft at a 1:1 scale.

🗣It took thousands of players and 4 years to recreate almost all of Manhattan brick by brick. The city's silhouette and the shape of the buildings were borrowed from the Open Street Map project, and the height of the buildings was determined using LIDAR data. Otherwise, the "construction" was carried out exclusively by the players.

Each building has the same number of windows as in the real world. Trash cans, bus stops and road signs are in their places. You can walk inside some buildings.

🗣 Everyone is invited to participate in the project. The plan is to complete the recreation of the district and the entire city. The server is available at NYC.BuildTheEarth.Net, but you will have to install the old version of the game (1.20.1).

🎮 It turns out that the famous de_dust and de_dust2 maps for Counter-Strike were created by 15-year-old schoolboy Dave Johnston. He started making maps for Doom, Quake and Half-Life at the age of 10, and his talent led to a contract with Gearbox, where he worked after school.

Quite an impressive result for a teenager!

✋ Hamsters begin to rebel and spam on Twitter, calling for unsubscribing from all Hamster Kombat social networks and blocking the application.

They created them, and they will destroy them 😁

⚡️ Meta showed Orion augmented reality GLASSES — this is a revolution that has been worked on for TEN YEARS.

Everything you need to know:

⏺ Included is a wristband that tracks brain signals through the hand;
⏺ Orion can do everything the same as Apple Vision Pro, but BETTER;
⏺ Simultaneous translation of speech into languages. Translators are dying as a profession;
⏺ The neural network recognizes eye movements, so that glasses can be controlled by gaze;
⏺ Only 100 grams of weight — regular glasses weigh almost the same;
⏺ Meta is afraid to release this imba to the market — employees and selected testers will test prototypes.

These are the AR glasses from spy movies that we dreamed of as children.
