Dweb camp is a gathering of pioneers building decentralized technologies and principles for those who want to create a Web 3.0 that is more open, private, secure and fun.


The event features 10,000 square feet of hackers space, a mesh network, creative space, wellness Workshops, time to explore beaches, forests & streams, camping, and delicious farm-to-table meals.


## Demos

The chest opens up with particles and sound effects into a dynamic force-directed mind map.


Bai has further plans to introduce edit capabilities to modify mind maps within VR mode.

## Indoor Scans

Quick [3D scans](https://s.kool.world/3d/dweb/tango) were done using the Google Constructor app that comes with Tango phones.


### Mesh Hall

[**Click here**](https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/mesh-hall-dfd70ca94495434fb0225b5432988e00) to go to the sketchfab page where you can download the 3D model or full screen.

The Mesh Hall had plenty of power strips and internet access for where most of the fun hacking took place during dweb camp. It was connected to several lounge areas where talks took place.


This is a topographical look at the mesh network that was setup at Dweb camp.

## Aerial Scan

**DEMO UNDER CONSTRUCTION**

Scanning outside was difficult with the Tango device but the owners of the farm were inspired by what they saw and found some drones to do photogrammetry with.


A few scans were made and combined, the file size was over 300mb with 2.6M+ triangles.


The model was optimized to less than 1/4 the size using decimation and image compression.
