Today I liberated the GameTrak (c.2004), an unusual 3D sensor featuring two XY joysticks with retractable tethers. It’s ~$20 on eBay and very expressive: 6 channels of 12-bit data at 75Hz. It now emits data for #Processing and #p5.js over OSC, MIDI, WebSocket, and stdout. github.com/CreativeInqu...

These are tasty. 👌
On a reverse-engineering streak, and pleased to present many new additions to my archive of monoline fonts —including 40+ decompiled AutoCAD SHX fonts; the Tektronix 7000-series oscilloscope display fonts; and Glen Kleinschmidt's Fourier Synthesis Character Generator. github.com/golanlevin/p...
Environment SDFs are based on angles, and are all automatically blurrable, so you can animate environment light in a way that would be too expensive to do with image based lighting.
I've been looking into a way to generate environments for lighting in p5 using strands shader code. That ended up turning into a little library called p5.env to help write some special SDFs that work for this purpose!
This is tomorrow! Still time to register here: luma.com/8nvmyatm
If you're curious about what it's like to switch to open source tools Godot/Blender/Krita after years of Unity/Adobe/Maya, I'm giving a talk on it at Toronto Games Week! Been a year since I finished moving my whole workflow over and spoiler it's been pretty great torontogamesweek.com/schedule.htm...
Why stop at France. Linux is just a better experience all around at this point.
This transition will affect roughly 2.5 million civil servants as part of a 2026 strategy to achieve "digital sovereignty." France already has a successful precedent; the national police force has operated 100,000 computers on Linux since 2008, proving that such a massive shift is feasible.
We laser cut the parts for 1 of 5 petals yesterday. I’m really glad that we took a chance and backed this fiber laser on Kickstarter.
We were invited to exhibit our work at Hortus Arboretum for a year for their Art in the Garden program! Opening is on July 4th in Stoneridge, NY #sciart
