Participated at the #Gemini3 hackathon and turned the Gemini API into a retro starship computer, inspired by FTL. 🚀

Even included a demo/simulation mode, if you don't want to use a Gemini API Key. 🙃

Qu.a.a.K - using Quest3 as a Kinect 🦆 Interesting how an old topic like head-tracking-based 3D can spark new things. ✨

Inspired by recent posts I prototyped a 3D spaceship shooter (duck hunt was too obvious 😉)🎮

Worked way better than expected 😱

Finally no more third party libraries needed for this! Can't wait for it to leave experimental state and start building! 🥳
