A lot of times I’ll think up some crazy product idea, build a prototype, then end up putting it in a box forgetting about it. Here is one I made not too long ago. Sani Soda is what I call it. It’s a puck that uses UV light to sanitize the top of a soda can. Check it out!
@ga7ahad @zillowgonewild Haha, seriously the worst!
@deep_rifter Lol, maybe one day. I want to expand the Bluetooth support and wand movement creation next. The goal is for the kids to be able to take it around the house and interact with more things. Like turn on the fireplace or tv with different spells
My kids have been watching the Harry Potter movies lately & I thought it would be fun for them to have a “real” wand to play with. Obviously, I couldn’t create just a prop, so I added motion activated movement for turning on/off a light, wireless charging, & magnetic levitation
@dchw Aww thanks Corey! Congrats on the new job by the way!
I’m looking for my next #XRJobs adventure! 🧑🏽💻 DevRel, Program & Community Manager 🗺 Remote or Seattle area A bit about me: 🧙🏽♂️ 5 years working in #VR #AR 🔥 Event planning, marketing, editorial 💥 Entrepreneur & evangelist ➡️ jgabriel.myportfolio.com ➡️ linkedin.com/in/josephpgabr…
To prove a point: Please RT if you don't have a CS degree and you have a job in tech.
👏 You don't need a formal degree to succeed in tech. 👏 You don't need a CS degree to be a great product manager. 👏 Degrees are not magic! Hard work, intellectual curiosity, and good teamwork win every time. Sincerely, someone with a fancy degree. 💫
Calling all Salt Lake area #gamedev folk, artists, #VR/AR enthusiasts and designers! #Design Party this Thursday! I hear there's gonna be vinyl, drinks, snacks and an eccentric guest speaker🍪 🥳 #SLC
Check out this Meetup: Design Party #1 Feat. @ga7ahad #VR Founder meetup.com/V-School/event… This Thursday 7:00 PM in @Downtownslc
At the SLC Dickens Festival showing off Memento and our new card design #mementobyardsk
Made another promo type video for Memento. Beta is going great so far! Looking like the public release will be near the end of the month. #AR #AugmentedReality #Memories #Moments #MementoByArdsk
Memento is officially in beta! Super excited at the progress being made. Made a better video showcasing the viewing process after receiving a card in the mail.
A lot of people have asked me what I've been up to lately. Well a few months ago I decided to start a company. I wanted to explore new ways for people to connect. Find better ways to share memories & experiences. I'm excited to show off my first product that will be released soon
Mostly what makes Founders special is the fact that they just care a lot more than anyone else about what they are building. They go to bed worrying about the business and wake up in the morning and grab their lunch box and run (full of belief and fear) to the salt mine.
Which of these books do you own?
In 3 hours I will be moderating a dive into the current state of #VR and a look at what's coming and how to get involved in the digital reality ecosystem. Forgive us if we fall into a few rabbit holes on this brief journey. @UtahDEN @ga7ahad @hessonb #HIVEIGNITEWEEK
