Code To Create

The streets are alive with robots at work 🤖✨

Wrapping up my last day at ! I’ve learned so much and feel it’s the perfect time to channel our skills into robotics. With our growing ability to compute massive amounts of video and use simulations for rapid training, the future looks exciting. This was such a great event for me!

Loved learning about Cosmos, Metropolis, and Isaac Sim — amazing tools for simulating real environments and creating chatbots that understand video content.

Getting ready for my workshop!

Today was an exciting day for XR developers! I had the chance to check out Samsung’s new XR headset, Moohan. It’s impressively lightweight, features precise gesture input, and integrates seamlessly with Gemini.

I’m especially looking forward to the hands-on bootcamp at Google I/O this year. It’s great to see XR remaining a priority for many businesses—progress is definitely still being made!

Missed my in-person talk? No worries—I’ve got you covered! Join me live this Friday at 12:30 PM EST on DevFest Discord as I discuss The Race to Replace Your Phone.

I am going to speak at Burnaby on November 30. If you live near the greater Vancouver area let’s meet!

New computer and a new chapter. How many computers does a game developer need?

I dusted off my HTC VIVE for some testing recently and was reminded that this headset was released back in 2016. It used to be one of my most used headsets. However, it’s interesting to note how wired headsets seem to have fallen out of favor lately. Despite the superior graphic quality of PC VR, it seems people are opting for the convenience of wireless ‘Android’ VR. Perhaps it’s the reluctance to pay premium prices and the time-consuming setup process. What are your thoughts? Do you prefer PC VR or wireless ‘Android’ VR?

Currently, I’m developing a much-requested tutorial on integrating Bluetooth with Arduino.

It’s fascinating how accessible hardware projects have become; even a budget-friendly chip like the ESP32 can power impressive Bluetooth-enabled projects.

I first delved into this technology a couple of years back, and it’s remarkable to see how these chips have become even more affordable since then. It’s truly an exciting time to dive into hardware projects.
