“Cool, but” Wow, did you actually watch the video, and understand what was accomplished? The technical expertise shown in this project is extremely impressive, and you are getting hung up on the title not living up to your interpretation of it. |

Yes. He's not the first one to make a 3D game on an ESP32, nor is he the first to communicate with a VRChat world using a video stream and shader, nor is he the first to read data back from VRChat via reading pixels that are set by a shader. These are all existing things that are well established and are put together to make a cool app for the badge and it looked like the attendees got joy from it so I would call it a success.
I am not saying that building this was trivial especially since he went the route of building most of this from scratch, but it just wasn't what I was hoping to see when watching the video. As a fan of VR I was interested it seeing problems related to the hardware being too weak and seeing just what was possible on such limited hardware.
