Spent the weekend cutting, plastering and painting. Think it turned out great. And only fell off a ladder once!

Love that the magnet is strong enough to be pulled onto the back when just sliding the controller over it

Always great to get out to the Canberra Deep Space Communication Complex, one of three stations worldwide for the NASA Deep Space Network. It was talking to Voyager 2 when I took the pictures

The Project Hail Mary movie is to its book what The Martian movie was to its book. Entertaining, but better if you have read the book. There were a lot of things my friends who haven't read the book didn't catch.

Spent the weekend building a new living room shelf out of acacia. Very simple design; only hurt myself three times

Galvanic vestibular stimulation. Allegedly curing motion sickness. It did not work.

Had a great time at #UnitedXR in Brussels. Great to see past the gaming horizon a bit and find lots of passionate people in other industries. The expo floor had some wild stuff on it.

As a kid, I always thought Australia was just a flat, hot desert. Turns out it has some mountains too

Any NZ devs here attending #NZGDC? I'm going and would love to hang out with Kiwi #XR devs. Also, come to my talk 🙂

The led frame itself is made out of four ws2812b panels, a 3d printed grid and a sheet of clear poly carbonate that I spray painted with privacy frost effect paint. The effect is hard to capture, but looks a bit like neon tubes if they were pixels. There is a warm glow and brighter middle.

And it's a bit of a wood working/machining project as well. I used my CNC to build the frames and cover plates. Last pic is the mini PC powering it

The first game I made for it is a 2 player dungeon crawler where you need to collect all rainbows. One player walks, the other shoots and each time you pickup a rainbow, your controls switch over. Also notice the ammo counter on the arcade stick itself, also ws2812b leds (this time over serial)

Mark Schramm #VR #AR #MR @markschramm.bsky.social · 19/07/2025

My biggest issue was to drive it at a high enough frame rate. Serial was too slow, so now it uses UDP packets.

Mark Schramm #VR #AR #MR @markschramm.bsky.social · 19/07/2025

It's really hard to capture how saturated and bright that led frame is. It's made out of four 16x16 ws2812b panels, each can draw up to 70W (but I limited it to a quarter).

Took a week off and built a new addition to the kids play room / library. Custom made light frame and arcade stick that runs games on a 32x32 grid, powered by an ESP8266, Arduino Nano and a mini PC. When not in use, it doubles as wall art (folder of gifs) or clock.

Built a bookshelf with some recessed cubbies to create stairs for the kid. Before it was just a boring wardrobe

My Asus ROG Zephyrus Duo 16 (2023) has been overheating for a while, so I gave it a chunky bottom with active M.2 cooling

Had to share this review we've gotten for Starship Home. This is exactly what we hoped people would feel when they play our game ❤️
