SERINDA Graceland Update (video display)

From my last post here, I had this list of items to work on: Get the voice commands working. Wire the OAK-D as an option in the camera pool – and properties so the OAK-D could be the primary camera if a developer wanted – I do, so of course this is an option – …

Serinda Graceland Update

I've spent the last couple of weeks working with the OAK-D. It has saved me so much time in development, where I had to figure out cameras, 3D layers, etc. The OAK-D and support libraries make using a LeapMotion obsolete and really sets up a prototype environment that I had to create. I don't have …

XR – MR – How Did I Get To This Point?

At age 5, I knew only two things - I wanted to be a firefighter and fly helicopters. I knew exactly what led to me wanting to be a firefighter. I don't remember how I found out about helicopters and pilots. It was probably a TV show my parents watched or a movie, and I …

SERINDA V3 – “Graceland”

I've decided to name this version "Graceland" - IYKYK. While the original intent of SERINDA was to provide many open-source and cheap options for AR/MR/XR, those endeavors have proven quite expensive time-wise. This next version will explore different cameras for SLAM (VSLAM/ORB SLAM/etc.) and OpenCV AI Kit (OAK-D). I have an original, clunky OAK-D, and …

Day 3972

Osiyo. Dohiju? ᎣᏏᏲ. ᏙᎯᏧ? Hey, welcome back. I have managed to ignore all of my advice again. April 1, 2012 is when I posted my first entry about working out... it wasn't the first day I worked out as my days started with 1Jan12. However, I look down through my entries and I see progress …

PM2 Startup Error with Node and Typescript

If you decide to run PM2 to run your node server and you're using Typescript you can get this error: [PM2][ERROR] Interpreter .nvm/versions/node/v18.11.0/lib/node_modules/pm2/node_modules/.bin/ts-node is NOT AVAILABLE in PATH. (type 'which .nvm/versions/node/v18.11.0/lib/node_modules/pm2/node_modules/.bin/ts-node' to double check.) It can come in many forms but the important part is ts-node is NOT AVAILABLE in PATH. The fix for this …

Groovy, Kotlin, and Java

I was reading this article https://medium.com/sciforce/kotlin-vs-groovy-which-language-to-choose-47e4369fb905 which discusses the pros and cons of Kotlin vs Groovy. It's a good article and worth the read. It's been a few years since this was published, but I'm going to comment anyway. Disclaimer: I've used Groovy since 2005, have been a Java developer since 2000, and use Grails …

Day 3922

You would think it would get easier to be fat every day. Not physically, but mentally. The fact is that it doesn't. About 8 weeks ago or so I had to stop working out because it was so hot outside at 7am with temperatures getting up to 110 or more throughout the day. Then hydrating …

My Memorization System For Playing Cards

For my whole life, I've been able to remember almost anything. Not eidetic memory (which would be amazing and a curse), but close. Especially, if I am sitting in a place learning something or reading a book where all of my focus is on that topic. In May 2017, I was having issues with my …
