“Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.” – Arthur C. Clarke Boogio is a pair of inserts you place within your favorite shoes, converting your analog footwear into smart-shoes. It stores and reports sensor data wirelessly so that apps can be quickly developed for the hardware without restriction. The hardware, firmware, and software have been developed...
AHRS is shorthand for Attitude Heading and Reference System. It describes a specific arrangement of hardware and software technologies that culminates in a continuous process of interpreting real-time motion sensor data to result in a best estimate of absolute rotation of an object with respect to the Earth. This approach provides a cheaper and more...
In the last week of April 2017, IA was commissioned to design and produce a Buzzy Bee VR Experience with a due date of May 15th. Requirements The goal of the deliverable was to allow participants to quickly and easily explore the area within and around Mary-Lou’s garage. Participants should be capable of performing simple...
The Caster is a meticulously evolving prototype. It’s an iteration on the concept of wearable technology. I call it “tinker-tech”. The idea is to iterate on the device continuously with a focus on reliability and utility over fashion and fidelity. My intent is to make the item as simple and modular as possible so that it can be...
Rocket Armor is a Steam Early Access title still under development. Presently it only supports the HTC Vive, but we will be adding support for additional platforms soon. The concept and its continuing development are the results of months of planning and experimentation on top of years of research and investigation into VR. The initial...
In February 2017, I constructed a Unity project to investigate how Machinima could be intuitively manufactured from within Virtual Reality. With experience using both, I prefer UE4 over Unity, but Unity has traditionally been the more flexible option for smaller teams, so this prototype took me a about a week to construct on my own. A drone...
