A Game That Replaces Doomscrolling, Powered by Local AI (Ollama)

Описание и применение

Field Dex превращает прогулку с камерой в игру, где фотографии живых объектов открываются как карточки с редкостью, опытом и историей, заменяя бесконечный прокрутку экранов реальным опытом на свежем воздухе.

Задача

Users often doomscroll instead of going outside, leading to wasted time and missed real-world experiences.

Результат

Field Dex turns a simple photo walk into a gamified experience that rewards outdoor exploration with rare cards, XP, gear, and an evolving story, effectively replacing doomscrolling with real‑world engagement.

Рабочий процесс

• 1. Take photos of living things with the iPhone camera (no app needed).
• 2. Connect the iPhone to the laptop via Personal Hotspot and open Field Dex in Safari.
• 3. Upload today’s photos to the laptop; the local vision model (qwen2.5vl:3b) identifies each photo and assigns a rarity roll.
• 4. The text model (qwen2.5:3b) generates card flavour text, XP, gear unlocks, and a daily Wanted poster.
• 5. Reveal the card pack; XP and Dex updates appear only after flipping cards.
• 6. Read the story chapter that ends on a cliffhanger, motivating the next day’s walk.

Доказательства

Field Dex is a pixel‑art creature‑collecting game where the creatures are real. You photograph a bird, a tree, a beetle or a flower on your normal iPhone camera, and when you get home you open the day's photos like a pack of trading cards.

The whole thing runs on a laptop with an RTX 3050 with 4 GB of VRAM. Identifying a photo takes roughly 6–9 seconds, and a batch of six photos, with their cards and the story chapter, finished in about 90 seconds.
