Plushies
Plush, furry characters and AI-helper cursors for the web, built with Three.js
A ready-made way to give an in-app agent a visible body: a cursor with a name tag, a status box and a follow-me mode.
Plushies renders soft, fur-covered characters onto canvas elements with Three.js. Pick one of 17 silhouettes, a fabric and a face in the editor, and it inflates into a pillow with a rolled seam; the code updates as you go. The companion package, @plushies/cursors, turns one into an AI-helper cursor that points at the element it is changing, shows tasks and status, and can ask the user to follow it. MIT, 52 commits, alpha on npm, from Patrick Rathje at Kiel University. HN readers liked the fur and noted moiré when zoomed and that the figures look flat on phones.
