Canvatorium Lab 044 - Independent Reactive Texture Cards

Expanding on the work from Lab 043 I wanted to test the idea of creating each 3D card with binding to reactive data. I explored several ways to do this but settled on a reactive array of objects. I could fetch some data from a server or api, then create a 3D card for each one. Core concepts titles: a reactive array of objects. I used ref for now but could be using reactive instead each card…

iOS Relics

Last night I came across two of my old iOS projects in my app history. Random Arrow was my first attempt at a game in 2016. I used it to learn Swift and a bit about games. It wasn’t a good game. I think I had more fun making it than anyone had while playing it. Retrospect Timelines was a personal milestone tracker that I made in 2019. It was made with v1 of SwiftUI and used Core Data and…

My lab template for Canvatorium is now only 22 lines. This template will create a Babylon JS scene with my default lab options (room, lights, camera). All the work for the lab will happen in the createLabContent function

The fate of Hershey’s Kisses to throw themselves bodily into harm's way in a vain attempt to slow down my rampage on Reese’s Miniatures.

Stray (PS5)

A few screenshots and a video of my favorite moments from Stray (PS5)

I finally got my hands on a PlayStation 5. The first game I played was Stray, which has to be one of the most enjoyable non-vr games I’ve played since Fire Watch. Playing this with the new Duel Sense controller and spatial audio was amazing. Seeing such a great implementation of this tech on PS5 has me more excited than ever about PSVR 2. A gallery of my favorite screenshots. A video of my…

So, you just got a Quest 2

So, you just got a Quest 2. A short post I wrote for a friend who just got a headset.

Note: This post was written for a friend who recently got a Meta Quest 2. I decided to post it here just in case someone else finds it useful. This is not a tutorial or a set of technical instructions. It’s just a list of things to check out in and around VR. Hardware & Comfort Head Strap: The head strap that ships with the Quest 2 is not for everyone. Try it for a few days and see if it is…

Using PlayCanvas Events to build a Sequential Timeline

I’m working on a VR side project that can be summed up as a narrative experience. The app will consist of approximately ten minutes of an audio discussion, with scene entities giving the appearance of reacting to the dialog. I needed a timeline to keep it all coordinated, so I built one. I made a separate project for the timeline. Check it out and let me know if you have suggestions. Before we…
