    Navigation was difficult as the screen eats the cursor which resulted in blind clicks, and the arrow keys did not move around as expected. Smashing esc/enter blindly eventually led me to checking out. The animation rendered the case going into the bag but then rendered the object on the outside of the back as if it was stuck with velcro instead of sitting inside.

    A 3D video store architecture is a fascinating approach to spatial media management. Great to see more 3D-first tooling popping up.

      I agree, but I wonder if it's inherently missing being a shared space. Even if these were commercial places, other people interacted with them in different ways, which shaped it to some degree

      And just so much love and care crammed in.

      > Four decades of fit-out — board signage and VHS in 1990, the fascia-band era in 1993, arched plaques in 2000, wire-black DVD shelving in 2010.

      > VHS or DVD — the whole store re-cased, on correctly-proportioned rental shells.

      And day/night, etc. Lots of great features too.

      > Remote Play streams the live store to any browser, with its own TURN relay for off-LAN viewers.

      I love the README design. Shows the breadth, encourages demo use. Does it…? is a great user-centric section, where it can give some emphatic yes yes yes'es! Touching project, a very fine homage to the past.

    You need to hire someone to just record judgy videos of each of the famous titles, to get the full effect. Make it look like a 16bit era videocoded like nighttrap or myst.

      just generate the opinionated teen locally on your GPU using LTX or something similar

    I can smell the screenshots -- that's how accurate the portrayal is. Well done.

    This is so well thought out.

    I've tried creating something similar since 2013. Never could get it right. My idea was closer to that of a Japanese Adult Video Store.
