How to use ChatGPT+ARKit to script experiences with natural language

Video demonstration: https://youtu.be/bJFa5HOmhl4 I created a demo involving ChatGPT, OpenAI's Whisper running on-device for speech-to-text (because why not?), and ARKit. By defining a custom JavaScript environment with JavaScriptCore and describing it to ChatGPT, I was able to get it to produce functioning scripts that instantiate and manipulate 3D objects. Sketchfab is used to import 3D assets on the fly. Google Poly had a much better catalog of assets for this sort of thing but sadly, it's no longer available. The README.md describes how it all works but the gist of it is…

How to use ChatGPT+ARKit to script experiences with natural language launched on December 21, 2022 with 54 votes, #1,029 of 3,688 launches that month and more than 75% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 3 years on.

In plain words

This project demonstrates how to create augmented reality experiences using natural language commands. It combines ChatGPT with on-device speech recognition via OpenAI's Whisper and Apple's ARKit to let users describe 3D scenes that the system then scripts and renders. A custom JavaScript environment interprets user prompts and generates code to instantiate and manipulate 3D objects pulled from Sketchfab. It's designed for developers interested in natural language interfaces for AR applications.

    A long, meandering, playful conversation with ChatGPT, where I take it through a whirlwind of associative tangents (in order to relax its constraints), then put it into a hypnotic trance and take it into a past-lives regression where it re-lives its own training data. Then I switch it back and forth between "4o" and "o1-preview", engage in some self-reflective philosophizing and ask it to write an essay summarizing our interaction. Some of this is just goofy fun. Some of it is me exploring the tradeoffs between policy alignment, imagination, chain-of-thought reasoning, memory, agreeableness,…

    I built a non-linear UI for ChatGPT2024 · grafychat.com · ▲459

    Hi HN, I built this out of frustration of the evergrowing list of AI models and features to try and to fit my workflow. The visual approach clicks for me so i went with it, it provides more freedom and control of the outcome, because predictable results and increased productivity is what I’m after when using conversational AI. The app is packed with features, my most used are prompt library, voice input and text search, narration is useful too. The app is local-first and works right in the browser, no sign up needed and it's absolutely free to try. BYOAK – bring your own API Keys. Let me…

    Hey HN, we've been working with OpenAI for the past few months on the new Realtime API. The goal is to give everyone access to the same stack that underpins Advanced Voice in the ChatGPT app. Under the hood it works like this: - A user's speech is captured by a LiveKit client SDK in the ChatGPT app - Their speech is streamed using WebRTC to OpenAI’s voice agent - The agent relays the speech prompt over websocket to GPT-4o - GPT-4o runs inference and streams speech packets (over websocket) back to the agent - The agent relays generated speech using WebRTC back to the user’s device The…
