Hack Like Heck Project Progress

Pi Play AR ( I & II ) | Lights, Camera .. Refraction!!!

Pi Play AR (I & II) Foto-Bloggin' a Zombie Horse.. in AR!!!?

 

Name: rocits

Element14 Community member since: June 12, 2017

 

Hack like Heck Updates :

Pi Play AR ( I & II ) | Lights, Camera .. Refraction!!!

Pi Play AR (I & II) Foto-Bloggin' a Zombie Horse.. in AR!!!?

 

 

..and more? Ask @ rocits!

 

Back in d'good awld day-s! :

 

When I was a small kid I broke electronic toys faster than anybody, no time for screwy screws , how does it work!? how can I open it quickly!? While Jobs was probably getting fired I was pretending to create a 'netflix' type interface from video image cutouts on cardboard, completely immersed in my fantasy of the future idyllic conveniences lol, still doesn't exist the way I imagined.. Augmented Reality >>> nearly there now! #AR

 

Like most over awed by core tech kids creating lego variations, bunk-bed lifts and magnetic controller games , trying to over power motors to make a helicopter with a wired control. I haven't 'played' about with electronics since, I gradually bought some of the core tools hoping I would have spare time! that time is now! lol =D

 

 

Electronics & More..

 

I've Watched TBHS for a good while, really enjoy it right back to first episode and gradually horded masses of attic electro-tech-crud hoping that the electronic mastery of Ben would click in eventually by osmosis as soon as I have time to build, which is now! Also very interested in graphene and hyper practical nano tech!

 

Why? why? whyyyyyyyyy..

 

If I can just get through my overly ambitious build [for me] and video it would be way beyond what I ever intended to do..

 

..make a funny audition video dedicated to all the excellent work of TBHS .. for me the jokes/memes would be a serious bonus, it's was ridiculously fun making the audition tape I lost track of all/any edit timing, flow and polish! [maybe a V3 might get me up to scratch]

 

 

Fav Projects :

 

I've attempted!!! lol ..Little bits of everything from household, art, crafts, eco, ecotech, flash/opentoonz animation, sheet metal, civil/mechanical engineering, gyo, diy, teaching 2m+ in 100+ countries core web stuff http://www.goopal.org , Now starting again with core #AR technologies, just like the core web tech had to be figured out gradually, cloud apps , ar ,vr gadgets to IT solutions  etc etc etc ...

i.e. ROCITS [Rory O Connor IT Solutions]..maybe should be rocIoTs lol that would be tioght ! image https://www.rocits.com

 

My own 'super cloud systems' Community:

Working on a prototyping inventory/design/VR networked WebApp

[working title- AR/VR update coming soonish, trying to connect everything up with the 'hack like heck' competition 

https://plus.google.com/communities/114437638722020066228

 

My own Google Technology Community :

https://plus.google.com/communities/107514426649254142729

 

My Fav project is up-cycling broken wheelie bins like a the garden organizer in the audition video, building into a possible  40 + uses ! e.g. a snow plough would have come in handy recently!

A full series on LBRY.io ? would be great! I enjoy working with constraints, they help me be more creative & imaginative to find solutions then most progress becomes a satisfying challenge!

 

#TheFuture

 

AR -Augmented Reality is my singlulary focus & I strongly believe [and even google officially announced it is..] the next BIG trilly? platform!

WebGL and WASM [web Assembly] are ones to watch! Some engineering application already available like mysketchup & sketchfab.Many technology areas are merging very successfully.

 

#AR / #VR Focus on Twitter and Github!

https://twitter.com/rocits

https://rocits.github.io

 

#AR >>>> Advanced Creative Design & Interaction , Product & Training Solutions, Engineering, Hacking, Iot & Electronics etc.. >>>>  #thefuture

 

Hope & Dreams! D'aw! [... massive shattering bg noise just on time!] DOH!!!

 

My ultimate ambition is to create a vastly creative, innovative & eco-tech globally networked villages utilizing ecodomes design/builds lol , but may just settle for a up-cycle work-shed on a Mediterranean island! DOH!!! =D

    I honestly hope the project video is made in a similar style, because that would bring something really new to the table. And if you can still follow the project progress despite the extreme style, thats…

    You do know batman is the 'bad guy' right! There is some sloth of anti-hero emerging not sure how to define it yet!..  I thought the 'doo dee doo' would soften it out a bit!  lol ah well! video editing is a really tough business to master your intent!

     

    I thought my animation skills would transfer but its a totally different animal, consistent tone, subtle transitions and fade are everything, you can get away with much more clunky rawness in animation!

     

    You just named two of my probably top 20 films, nice one! I was thinking about that particular 'Requiem..' style alright, good call, Casey Neistat has master that scene over and over .. crunch click clap etc.. Is that the one you meant?

     

    Thanks for the support & feedback Matt! I'll need luck alright to get my head around the project video & build! I'll try get out some update on the progress this week, it will a lot of fun if I can bring it all together!

    Interesting Video Rory! Wow, you took electronics and made it dark. That’s definitely an interesting take on the idea

     

    Reminds me a bit of Requiem for a Dream / Donnie Darko

     

    Good luck for the competition!

    Nice, That's great to hear... with your 24hr build I don't think you have much pressure from the time constraints! Just watched your maker faire hannover, I think you are right about the maker movement in Austria/Germany but I think it is actually bigger than ever before , technologically revived areas like VR & 3D design have sparked the old engineering creatives types. It is obvious the technology markets are moving closer together exponentially faster like in IOT etc.. IT had a good run of the Internet,  it's time for more real worldly applications/innovations!

    it's going pretty good so far, I had some major problems early on but managed to get around them fairly quickly.

    the base is done now for the fancy bits and optimisation.

    And if you can still follow the project progress despite the extreme style, thats double Bonus Points.
