of the August virtual meetup * Arcade Wise shares Lamplight, a Folk/Dynamicland-inspired live programming environment that lives behind their desktop. * William Taysom talks about… uh… look… it's… I… just… do i run away? do i lie down and let it roll over me? what's happening? * Marek "maf" Rogalski implemented a motion-to-photon latency mitigation technique that happens to have some wild potential for visual effects. banger demos this month yall. i am continually amazed by all the creativity and energy in our little community <3

Your sweater is great.

thats was such a great one

Bring a towel and lie down. It will be fine.

does anyone know what eye tracking hardware was used in the last one?

@Marek Rogalski knows :)

@Dev Doshi It's tobii eye tracker 5. Incredible hardware. The only downside is a crappy electron-based control software and a built-in DRM that locks some functions out 😕

i'm on mac/linux so I'll have to look into bypassing that stuff!

@Dev Doshi If you manage to get it working let me know! I've spent several days trying to get access to the "Tobii Pro SDK" gaze data streams on linux. I've reached out through their "research license request" form but was denied it 😛 I am however 90% sure that it can be unlocked using nefarious means. This app: talon.wiki/Resource%20Hub/Hardware/tobii_5 (Talon Voice) very likely includes a hardcoded license key (I know it because it has a built-in calibration system). I recommend downloading it and unpacking it to get the shared library for linux. Talon Voice must send the key to the eye tracker to unlock most of its APIs (eye tracker calibration is one of the restricted APIs - and calibration data has to be sent after every power up). I've tried to sniff the key with ptrace - but couldn't find it after some hours of trying so I gave up. That was about three years ago - before AI tools. It might be easier to do now 😆
