GTA in real life

Happy Monday! Ever wondered what a real life Jarvis from Iron Man would be like? Well, this maker decided to find out by creating his own. Check it out!

Here’s some news: 

🤖 OpenAI announced new board members — including Sam Altman. 

🕹️ Can’t get enough Mario? A sequel to the movie is coming in 2026.

🚗 The Apple EV might be dead, but you can still check out some concepts.

After years of anticipation, Rockstar finally dropped a trailer for Grand Theft Auto 6 in December of last year, but unsurprisingly, there’s no launch date just yet. If you’re like me, you might be eager to scratch that GTA itch. Well, now you can get a taste of it in real life, and no, I don’t mean by going full Trevor — seriously, don’t. 

Built by maker Timur Abdrakhimov, MiniMap Radar turns your Apple Watch into your very own GTA-style mini-map for your real-life adventures. It’s built to bring a bit more fun to your day-to-day life, whether you’re navigating a new city, tracking your fitness, or planning your next outdoor escapade. 

Once you load it up, your new map will take on the appearance of an in-game mini-map, complete with nostalgic graphics to boot. You can swap out place icons for more game-inspired ones, import your places of interest from Google Maps, track your fitness, and traverse the city with some nifty navigation features. 

Alongside the Watch app, Timur also built a companion iPhone app that uses Augmented Reality to overlay the mini-map and real-time distance tracking onto your phone's camera view so you can go about your day feeling just like Tommy Vercetti (Vice City for any non GTA fans).

According to Timur, this is only version one. They plan to add several features in the near future to make it even more game-like, including social functions like friends lists and even levels and experience points you can earn as you explore.
