Digital fly with its own connectome brain perceives a real room via AR glasses
stspanho · x · 2026-09-13
A developer demoed a digital fly with its own connectome brain perceiving a real room through AR. Pipeline: Spectacles AR glasses (retina rays + hand tracking) scan the room into an inventory → sense channels → MaleCNS fly brain → DNs and motor pools → rendered back into AR, driving wings, legs, and head. A neat fusion of embodied simulation and neural connectome modeling.
