This morning when I got to work I was off desk for two hours. I
demonstrated to my boss the AR thing I came up with this weekend and
she liked the idea, as did the other people I showed it to. No one
was overly excited but it wasn't very flashy, so I can understand
that.
I sent an email to everyone signed up for the class tomorrow,
reminding them that they're signed up, to bring a photograph, and to
bring a thumb drive if they have one. Then I updated my homebound
list for this month with some requests from one of my patrons, and
spent the rest of the time looking up information for the video game
discussion later this week. No one is signed up yet, so we'll see
what happens with that.
I was on desk for two hours after that. Based on the game I picked
for the discussion, I ended up reading about game developers in
Mexico. And that led to reading about Leap Motion because they just
came out with a plan for building an AR headset for $100 (if you're
producing it in massive quantities, so for a single headset it would
be a lot more than that). I think they're going to release the full
specs in a week or two, along with making their hand-tracking
software open source, if I read the article correctly. That's pretty
cool. I also managed to work on my new Sci-Fi handout a little bit.
When I got back from lunch I had a walkthrough and then went upstairs
until 5:00PM. I read a few articles and then spent the rest of the
time working on the Sci-Fi handout. It took forever but I managed to
finish it. Now I need to work on the non-fiction handout.
I was on desk for the last hour and almost all of that time was spent
messing around with another AR creation tool that I read about in an
article my boss gave to me when I came back downstairs. It seems a
little more stripped down than the one I was using this weekend. But
also possibly more complex, if that's possible. I would still like
to figure out how to make my own app.
When I got home I made dinner. Originally I was going to roast
vegetables but by the time I got home I didn't want to spent the time
cutting up all the vegetables so I made delicious spaghetti instead.
Then I spent the rest of the night watching videos and clicking
around the internet.
It's around ten o'clock now and I think I'm going to go to bed soon.
I've got a headache and I'm tired.
