Zero Latency in #Boox #eInk devices for @obsdmd when using my Ink plugin.

Still proof of concept, but it's happening.

Anyone who thinks of cooking as the killer app for augmented reality has never opened an oven door with glasses on.

Just streamed some Ink updates.
I upgraded my internet so it would be better but it's still not enough :(

It's a bit better though so I guess I'll lower my framerate till I get FTTP.

Pausing for a sec to update the command icons in Ink for @obsidian.md .
Top row is Drawing. Bottom is Writing.
#uiDesign

Two thirds of these commands will probably go away, but as long you can tell them apart for now.

#TheHotSpot on Netflix is soo good!
Great concept and well written ☺️

Watching the last season of #StarTrek Enterprise finally… Oof. It’s the mirror universe episodes.

It’s telling that Archer’s having a hard time making himself seem angrier than his non-mirror self.

Here’s the 3rd article in my series about designing for #VirtualReality and #XR

“Keep doing your crappy little drawings”

Keep doing your crappy little drawings (Staging XR scenes)
Some people create beautiful perspective illustrations to visualise and storyboard their virtual reality designs… And it's tempting to think you're not a strong designer if you're not doing that too.

Currently watching and learning from one of my oldest live streams.

Really glad I documented myself problem solving this thing 🤣

I really appreciate the @penpot.app team’s perspective here in regard to AI.

“Our approach is, let’s say, more in line with good-old machine learning. This will help us focus not on generating outputs, something we’re not very interested in, but on assisting in design processes.”

I built a cheeky #penpot plugin.

I haven’t used the best examples though. I need to fix them.

Can someone please explain to me why Xero is so ubiquitous? It's literally one of the worst product I've ever used.

*Maybe* it's got some features other accounting software doesn't have?
...But is it still at #MVP stage or something?

I tried wrangling Winston for logging for about an hour.

I couldn’t get past how it stringified objects, and how I needed to import chalk for more granular colour ideation anyway.

I ended up building my own and it’s nice to not console.log anymore 🙂

How do you track and plan where action lies in a 360 degree immersive experience??

Here’s the 2nd article in my series around designing for #XR and Immersive media like #virtualReality.

Let me know how it aligns with your process!

Focal point blocking for XR media
Planning out a linear VR experience requires thinking about where the viewers attention might be. Thinking about the focal points.
