How to create Javascript-powered Smartglasses
(no soldering knowledge required)
After having worked at an AR-focused company with the Vuzix, a Google Glass-like product, Ruben had a lot of fun with the hardware and really wanted to have one at home to play around with. Unfortunately, they are too expensive to get one just for hobby purposes.
This session will cover what was required to build his own wearable, the pitfalls, the compromises, and the sheer joy of saying "Screw it, I'll build it myself!".
With the use of a Raspberry Pi, Vufine and a lot of Javascript, I've managed to cobble a hobby project together where I essentially have my own Javascript-powered smartglasses. The main reason why I built it is because I want to prototype ideas on what you could with the platform, but I think it's an interesting example to showcase how you can use Javascript and all out of the box. The focus of the talk is how the stack works, and how I'm building a platform that will allow web developers to easily test out their own ideas for what smartglasses could do.

One day people will wake up and realize that Augmented Reality is here. Advertisers are keen on AR because it can create higher levels of engagement than traditional ads. The power of gamification and the power of people experimenting with AR technology helps them to make better decisions as consumers. You can find an ad in your news feed, open the camera, and preview a product in the "Real" world.

In 1996 I read about György Ligeti’s mechanical music (notably Poème Symphonique) and started to explore the possibility of precisely timed music. Knowing that computers now allowed more programmatic control over sound than they did in 1962, when Ligeti's wrote his piece, I set about writing algorithms to generate MIDI files which ultimately became Symphony 1 in C# minor.
