Last night some more explorations of WebXR (virtual reality on the web)

by Romy Ilano

Hung out at SudoRoom last night, met some cool people and am continuing to bring new and fresh faces to the hackerspace! I'm still exploring web hosting of virtual reality. Aframe is a promising framework and this would make for a clean and easy workshop! https://github.com/aframevr/aframe It's great socializing with folks. ============================= Romy Ilano romy(a)snowyla.com

How is everyone doing? What have you worked on this week?

by Romy Ilano

I'm all in on augmented reality. I'm still thinking a lot about light projection. I have been busy, haven't had time to stop by. Will try to make it to hardware hack night Tuesdays! One positive change is that I've been minimizing as much as possible the presentations I've had to look at this week. I think I just saw too many. Another thing is, I'd like to come to sudoroom and focus entirely on hacking. I feel like I was on that track, but really cool people would distract me and try to get … [View More]

tuesday hardware hack night was magical!

by Romy Ilano

Last night was quite magical! It reminded me of why I love hackerspaces so much. I invited 5 or 6 cool people from AI and augmented reality / virtual reality meetups and hackathons I knew. I think most of them had never been to a hackerspace before. three new people showed up, and none of them had ever been to SudoRoom before. We got an exhibiting artist to visit! I'd like to get more painters, artists etc. to be visiting SudoRoom. Talked about paintings, and making 3D models, and using the … [View More]light projectors to project art. Introduced them to the media lab with CeCe (sic) and the sewing machines. Dane put up a light projector (I'm face palming becusa I keep talking about this but never bring the ones I have, one of them is a loaner from SudoRoom that I need to leave at SudoRoom), and he projected the hackers movie onto the wall. A cool new person came and we did multiplayer augmented reality with our headsets. Augmented reality is at a nascent stage right now, but I love creating art on it the most. We mirrored what we were seeing for others. We talked about doing an ongoing blender class and I learned how to do Booleans to cut shapes out of others shapes. I think since I'm time constrained I might as well run a small pod of people Tuesday evenings. Went over kitbashing. Had some great green goddess pizza with Paige and folks. Thanks Paige for supporting the pizza! Explored the neighborhood (Temescal) with the folks who had never been to SudoRoom before. AN ongoing theme is that we never seem to grab the awesome foot traffic of the neighborhood. There were so many people walking to restaraunts last night even though the area has relatively little parking. More than you might see in a lot of downtown oakland There were regular community gatherings at the board game store across the street (is it called it's your move) there's a kitchen appliance store that was having a cooking workshop (they could be at omni commons!) Only took a quick look at the new telepresence robot. I spoke to Jake, i will have to email the company that made the robot, hopefully we can connect to them and get a free software update since we are a non profit While I was there I got an AI APi to work, might make something fun for a hackathon or sudoroom demos. I'm very interested in using AI to help people create art manually instead of replacing artists. It was nice to see the dance event going on tuesday nights. wonder if I should reach out to them and interact with them more! we talked about fundraising for sudoroom, omnicommons and the MADE game museum in old oakland. A lot of the stuff at Sudoroom is suitable for a museum - it'd be nicve to have augmented reality exhibits of what stuff is and "educate people" step by step beased on their engineering level and computer history knowledge what things are. There are going to be great things ahead this month! ============================= Romy Ilano romy(a)snowyla.com [View Less]

tool lending request for car repair

by Paige P

Hi, Freeway (Wood Street Commons member) is requesting the following. "Joel needs the following tools to fix our brakes: 14 mm socket,a jack, 21mm socket, a wire brush, a large flathead screwdriver... if anyone can loan him these tools for the day, we can return them as soon as he's done... thanks in advance!" does anyone have a jack to lend them? I believe the rest of the items we could lend from Omni's supplies Thanks, Paige

by Romy Ilano

It's been so long! I'm going to show up a little early - Got 1 person from the (dead) Virtual Reality /AR group at Noisebridge to come (tentative) He's new in town and actually working on his own AR / neurology headset - Getting 2 people who are collaborating on AI to come, one of them actually has a Quest Headset - I have my own Augemnted reality projects related to light projection as well.
