I've been researching augmented reality to understand how digital information overlays onto the physical world. I'm looking into how these interfaces function and exploring the potential for blending computer-generated data with real-time environments.
I found a great demo of augmented reality technology from the MIT Media Lab’s Aesthetics + Computation Group. It showcases early interactive installations and experimental user interfaces that blend digital information with physical environments.
I shared an impressive project by Ramya Mylavarapu that merges comics, augmented reality, and data visualization. It demonstrates how gamification can transform static narratives into immersive, interactive data-driven experiences for a modern audience.
I found Total Immersion, a technology that overlays real-time 3-D graphics onto live video feeds. Their demos showcase early augmented reality capabilities, allowing users to interact with virtual objects in a physical space via video.
I apply the concept of the Uncanny Valley to software design, observing how interfaces or simulations that approach reality too closely can become jarring and lose their effectiveness when they fail to perfectly match human expectations.
I looked into speech editing tools and GPT-4o Mini's impressive performance. I also listed dozens of text-based formats LLMs can generate to create physical artifacts like 3D models or circuits, and explored self-hosted PaaS solutions like Piku.
