24 alternatives to Open-Source 3D Location-Based Wireless Mesh Network

I've decided to open source the project I've been working on called Hyperspace. Hyperspace is a suite of software implementing a wireless mesh network for IoT devices. My main requirements are listed on my repo but I'll copy them here. 1. The mesh shall enable nodes to route packets amongst themselves. 2. The mesh shall allow nodes with limited power to participate in routing packets. 3. The mesh shall be IPv6 based. 4. The mesh shall be local. I.E. not require connection to a remote server. 5. The mesh should provide 3D location to nodes in the network. Nodes use the Decawave DW1000 UWB…

Hyperspace is an open-source wireless mesh networking suite for IoT devices that enables nodes to route packets locally without requiring remote servers. It supports low-power devices, uses IPv6 connectivity, and… Below are 24 products that do a similar job, ranked by how close each is in meaning and then by launch-day votes. Open-Source 3D Location-Based Wireless Mesh Network launched in 2022; newer entries below may have overtaken it.

    Hey HN, We’re Philip, Amby, and Declan, and we made “multiplayer virtual computers” that you can embed anywhere, including 3D spaces. We decided to build this because we noticed that embedding third-party apps and websites can be a nightmare due to incompatible platforms, security issues, and poor UX. Adding multiplayer functionality to these embeds makes this problem exponentially more difficult. On the backend, we’re spinning up a VM and running a resource-optimized fork of Chromium which we then stream to participants via WebRTC. Since we’re hosting the servers running the applications,…

    Hi HN, we build an open-source operating system extension for orchestrating robot swarms fully decentralized. This first beta version allows you to create fully decentralized robot swarms. The system will set up a wireless mesh network and run a p2p networking stack on top of it, such that nodes can interact with each other through various abstractions using our SDKs (Rust, Python, TypeScript) or a CLI. We hope this is a step toward better inter-robot communication (and a fun project if you have a few Raspberry Pis lying around). Our mesh network is created by B.A.T.M.A.N.-adv and we’ve…

    Just a fun hack I did while bored over the weekend. My wife was busy shopping, it got me thinking that can VLMs solve the indoor location problem in a mall? Can I just show a VLM a map and an image and have it doa good enough job locating me? I hacked this P.O.C and it seems to work.

    Hi Everyone, Prashant here from Devtron. With the community’s help and feedback, we built Hyperion - An Opensource tool to observe, deploy, manage & debug Helm Application on Multiple Clusters. We developed Hyperion as a module that comes with Devtron preinstalled or it can be separately installed. While there are pre-existing tools like Kubernetes dashboard, Lens, Octant; Hyperion is focused on helm charts. Some of the features which sets it apart are: - Deploy, manage, observe and Debug Helm charts across multiple clusters. A. Install, Manage Helm charts, Applications across multiple…
