Cool light projection mix with augmented reality hardware project

by Romy Ilano

I don't usually put up links or tweets of cool things, but this is just exceptional! This is a hardware project integrating light projection, a special game arcade control and some game programming \(^_^)/ https://x.com/udasan_koubou/status/1760888034315419839?s=20 Very cool isn't it? I am thinking a lot this week of what my north star is at SudoRoom, and I think this is one of my north stars! ============================= Romy Ilano romy(a)snowyla.com

Omni delegates meeting and bylaw changes

by Alexander Papazoglou

Sending this again because I sent it with no subject the first time. I also made changes to the git repository with the bylaws so that the mediawiki markup gets rendered properly. ------ Hello, The Omni delegates are currently discussing changes to governance. Specifically, they are discussing changes to the bylaws, and putting together a description of an Executive Director/representative-type role. The current proposed changes to the Omni bylaws can be found here: https://github.com/sudoroom/omni-bylaws It's in the markup language used by the Wiki. We will be finalizing and consensing on these on Thursday, so please chime in if you have questions or concerns. We also have a very preliminary list of duties and powers that an ED would need to have, and we can discuss those further at our meeting on Wednesday. If someone would like to get involved in this further, please let me know. Finally we will also be consensing on Deb Gives membership. I have only heard positive things so far. Let's discuss further at the meeting. Alex (sudoroom delegate)

Should we do a "I did this" at sudoroom 5 minutes share a round?

by Romy Mimi Ilano

I can't get to SudoRoom this Tuesday, but I can go this Monday. I miss seeing everyone! Wondering if we should have a once a month or once every few weeks "Today I Learned" or "I did this at SudoRoom" Perhaps we could do it at a potluck or something? I'm focused all in on the light projection / augmented reality stuff that I was into last year. Don't have much time for anything else! Over the years I've gotten much more satisfaction starting, completing and learning from little completed mini projects at SudoRoom. I will try to post more social media but that just isn't my thing. I'm a creator! *Romy Mimi Ilano* *romy.ilano(a)gmail.com <romy.ilano(a)gmail.com>*

checking... if I got scammed or not

by danarauz

Hello, I am not sure if I had been scammed or not. A while back when I asked in this list for suggestions about domain companies I received a direct email from someone who said it was Charley Sheets. At the time, even though I was a bit hesitant that I couldn't verify via phone, I went ahead and did business with this person. Transferring some domains and sending some payments. At the time, I thought I would be helping him to build his portfolio to become a domain seller. But, now that I need to make a DNS record (that has to be through him, that was the inconvenience that I accepted) I emailed several emails and I am being ignored. Even though it is embarrassing for me to write this here in the list, Chaley please confirm through the list if that is you the one that holds the email address: *rcsheets(a)picote.ch <rcsheets(a)picote.ch>* or not. Thank you, and I apologize if that address is in fact yours and it makes you feel uncomfortable, but it's been two weeks and I am still being ignored. Did I get scammed? Daniel

Museum design / light projection design at our beloved Sudoroom

by Romy Ilano

As you all know I've been super interested in light projection. I'm in the works with folks to put a permanent light projector on the mezzanine so we can have continual video projected of art, videos and event games that people play during hardware hack night. This is a form of augmented reality and I'm super interested in Museum design - https://exhibits.si.edu/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/Guide-to-Exhibit-Develop… *Museum design* seems like the perfect format for SudoRoom. We have so many interesting books, electronics, and vintage computers everywhere... I can't recall a time when we set something up like a proper museum exhibit, so that people who weren't part of the inner circle would have a clue about what cool electronics history or experiment was before them! https://www.theartnewspaper.com/2019/03/01/how-museums-are-stepping-up-exhi… I'd like to expand this eventually into both physical museum design (placarsd, tables) but also virtual reality stuff. I'm pretty swamped right now with work and personal projects but FYI this will be my north star for the months to come. ============================= Romy Ilano romy(a)snowyla.com

Join Our Research Project: Recruiting Facilitators for Embodied Virtual Reality Learning Experience

by Jake

---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Tue, 20 Feb 2024 15:09:10 -0800 From: Jose Oyola Cortes <joyola(a)ucdavis.edu> To: info(a)sudoroom.org Cc: Lee Martin <leemartin(a)ucdavis.edu> Subject: [sudo-info] Join Our Research Project: Recruiting Facilitators for Embodied Virtual Reality Learning Experience Greetings, I hope this email finds you well. I am reaching out to you because of your organization's expertise and experience in facilitating hands-on making and tinkering experiences and your commitment to supporting underrepresented and marginalized communities. We are embarking on an exciting research project aimed at developing embodied pedagogical agents capable of facilitating maker tasks in three-dimensional virtual reality making spaces. Our goal is to create an immersive learning experience for students who may not have access to traditional educational resources. To achieve this goal, we are assembling a team of expert facilitators and youth participants to interact together in an embodied virtual reality (VR) platform that our team is building. This platform, equipped with VR headsets and motion capture technology, will record verbal and motion data of facilitators and young people as they work simulated electronic assembly tasks. We will recruit our youth participants (13- and 14-year-olds) from historically under-represented and marginalized racial, ethnic, and socio-economic groups in the greater Sacramento area. Facilitator participation will involve 1 or 2 in-person visits to UC Davis, where you will don a motion capture suit and VR goggles, and then lead about five one-on-one sessions with a 13- or 14-year-old learner. Each session will last 15-20 minutes, and you would complete about five sessions in one visit day. We would also ask you to be available for one additional interview (via zoom) to collect feedback on your experience and our developing framework. Your expertise will be invaluable in helping us collect a rich and diverse dataset that will drive our research forward. The data we collect will be used to (a) understand how experienced facilitators guide learners through making experiences, which will aid us and others to better educators to facilitate maker experiences, and (b) help build a prototype virtual facilitator which will be controlled in "Wizard of Oz" fashion by a human facilitator “behind the curtain.” By participating in our project, you will have the opportunity to contribute to cutting-edge research -- your insights and expertise will be instrumental in shaping the future of this exciting set of technologies and pedagogies. We are looking for participants for dates between March 11 and April 30 of this year. If you or anybody in your organization is interested in being part of this research project, please reply to this email with your availability for a brief introductory call. We would love to discuss the project in more detail and answer any questions you may have. Thank you for considering this opportunity to join our team. We look forward to potentially working together to advance the field of virtual reality-based education. Warm regards, José E. Oyola Cortés PhD Student & Graduate Student Researcher School of Education University of California, Davis joyola(a)ucdavis.edu Dr. Lee Martin Professor School of Education University of California, Davis leemartin(a)ucdavis.edu
