glitchy coral reefs in a quirky Gaussian splat render: pushing the limits of my Costco-sourced VR headset a tale of coral restoration datasets, underwater sounds, a nightmarish visual glitch, and some wild technical tricks to make it work on my toaster of a headset (and somehow not my stacked AVP)

In this substack I tell the story of how I pushed the limits of VR to render coral gaussian splats and share a link— (please close it when you’re done 🙏🏽)

Squishing the RYR1 Protein into Virtual Reality brushing up with the limits of a molecule render

My friend mapped/analyzed RYR1 for her bioinformatics MS—this huge muscle protein that breaks a lot of tooling. So I tried to turn it into a WebXR VR “graduation present” . I underestimated its massive scale and complexity, but managed to squish it in. vertexshader.substack.com/p/squishing-...

taught a p5js workshop at a middle school makerspace! It's amazing how naturally kids play, tinker, and explore

Fibonacci day!! Using Vogel placement and some ripple animation #p5js #genuary2026 #genuary3 #genuary #creativecode #generativeart

twelve principles of animation #genuary2 #genuary #genuary2026 #threejs

one shape, one color #genuary1 #genuary2026 #genuary #p5js #creativecode #generativeart

some time to sketch with code in the holidays #threejs #creativecode #shaders #generativeart

We extended the deadline to the PurposefulXR workshop at CHI this year -- there is still time to make a submission!

Know and XR researcher going to CHI this year? Please tell them that we're organizing a workshop on XR for social benefit, having deeper discussions and engagement around making purposeful XR with HCI research

brushed off an old organic growth structure algorithm that I used for trees and threw in some noisy lines for some rolling hills #genuary6 #genuary #creativecode #threejs #perlinnoise #generativeart

layers and layers and layers! #genuary2 #genuary

hello world!
