Brothers, I’ve spotted another business opportunity!!!

A couple of days ago, I casually whipped up an interactive 3D turbofan engine using the legendary “Gemini 4Pro”: it spins, it disassembles, you can even drill inside to check out the internal structure.

At the time, I was too busy being blown away by the model’s capabilities, but the more I thought about it later, the more I realized—this thing dropped into a traditional factory as a pre-sales step, handed to salespeople for pitching deals. That’s the real dimensionality reduction strike!!!

I’ve got a bunch of second-gen factory kids around me, families in building materials, steel structures. They’ve got workshops, equipment, processes all locked in, but when it comes to introducing it to out-of-town clients, it’s just tossing photos, firing off videos, then salespeople grinding through their spiel over and over till their mouths go dry.

So today, I made a concept demo using a steel structure component processing workshop.

I used Astra to make a concept demo: just tossed in a hand-drawn sketch of the workshop, labeled the raw material storage, cutting and blanking, assembly welding, straightening, finished goods area. Out came a 3D workshop you can spin around 360° to view. Processes have entry points, equipment has labels, every step comes with an explainer card. Clients tap once, and they can follow a single component through the full process from raw material to finished product.

The business model is ridiculously simple: pick a factory, take its layout, equipment photos, and real processes, turn it into an interactive 3D showcase page you can sling straight to clients. Sales can use it for pitching deals, trade shows can use it, clients can even self-tour it.

You can use it when sales are introducing the factory, on the trade show floor, or when clients want to understand the full process a component goes through from raw material to finished product—they can just tap through it themselves.

Next step, I’m hitting up the factory second-gens around me to chat, see if they’d pay for a showcase like this. If anyone’s game, we can follow up with a version based on their actual workshop.

So yeah, I’m genuinely hyped for Gemini 4 Pro’s 3D capabilities. A ton of those old-school scenarios are worth pulling out and redoing from scratch!!!

森叔 (@harrisonitsme): 兄弟们，我现在严重怀疑 Arena AI 上那个 “Gemini 3.8 Flash” 根本不是 Flash，而是还没发布的 Gemini 4 Pro 在偷偷跑测！！！

我只丢了一句Prompt，让它从零写代码，做一个能拆、能转、能讲原理的 3D 产品。

结果那个所谓的 “Flash” 直接给我整出来一台完整的高涵道比双转子涡扇发动机。带 FADEC
