Hi HN! We've just released an open-source React bundler plugin that makes apps multilingual—at build time, without modifying the code.

Our React bundler plugin eliminates this friction entirely. You add it to an existing React app, specify which languages you w

- use hand gestures to control the 3D model
- drag/drop to import other models (only GLTF format supported for now)
Created using threejs, mediapipe, web speech API, rosebud AI, and Quaternius 3D models
