So… We Made A Headset. More on the official site.
We started working on Bridge, in secret, pretty soon after Structure Sensor launched. It’s so cool to be able to talk about this in public. I got to get my hands dirty with a lot of Bridge, including the Bridge Engine that powers the software. The press has done a better job than I could in describing the device, so I’ll leave it to them for now:

From Last Exit to Springfield. Imagine the writer’s room discussion over the best wording for the “Robot Workers, 100% Loyal” sign. I bet it raged on for hours.

Examples of common UI elements and interactions with HTML and CSS alone.
You Might Not Need JavaScript is doing the lord’s work. Maybe we don’t need to replace everything with some flavor of Javascript, huh? Maybe?

I’m happy to present to you the newest entry in the long-lost 6 hour projects (this one took more like 2) section here at Extra Future: blubox.
blubox is a script and page that takes the most recently posted videos on Metafilter.com and puts them into a YouTube playlist. The source code is available on Github.

Last week Occipital announced the VR Dev Kit, and a public preview of our kickass positional tracking inside of Bridge Engine. As part of the launch, I did a lot of stuff! Here’s the video that I wrote, shot, edited, and narrated:
I also designed the system with our in-house 3D team, prototyped it all on our 3D printer (an Ultimaker 2), and am currently helping to kit and ship the orders with Lauren. Being this close to every part of a product is really exciting and scary, but so worth it when it works.
Update: We got featured on TechCrunch!

Really happy with how the new Use Cases pages for Structure Sensor and our related software technology came together. Right now you can check out 3D Scanning with Structure Sensor, Medical Imaging, and Embedded Installations. You’ll find videos, sample output, the whole deal.

I am truly honored to have my work represented by this marginally-popular regular feature on Adafruit’s YouTube channel.
Seriously, so great.

Praise be to the gods. Every issue, every cover. What a resource.
UPDATE 8/11/2016: Nintendo poured cold water all over this a few days later. Bummer.
