  • Disney's research lab did something along these lines some years ago for making a point follow a path. You draw a path, and it generates the linkages required to match that path as closely as possible. They've had a lot of follow-up work since, but I remember this video for it: https://youtu.be/DfznnKUwywQ?si=F-5NZxKu4hP_mand
  • It seems people think alike. Something that inspired me in the past also had a similar implementation.

  • This is fancinating!
  • This is actually very interesting idea you had. I watched the demo and played with it and I am looking for a link to repo - I would like to know how did you implement the system achieving the outcome.

  • This is cool! I think it would be interesting to expand the language of the world. Right now the interaction with the bell or door is limited (basically binary). Even with binary it would be cool to say ring the bell three times or play shave and a haircut and then a mechanical device that could generate that frequency would be created (for ex a simplistic one would be to skip every other ring for ringing the bell). I guess that would require the world/the objects to account for interactions over some recording period.
