As followup to this... I tried half a dozen air mice, and they were all awful. The TV-remote style mice all send pre-defined keyboard presses that can not be modified or intercepte…

A few months ago I put together a library that lets you use a Nintendo Switch JoyCon 1 (the JoyCon 2s can't connect to bluetooth) or a Playstation VR controller to a Mac in order t…

Are there good texture generators that export in KTX2? I use iliad.ai mainly, but for PNGs.

Would love a "parachute" that works like this...

We managed to successfully pass lighting regulations in Pittsburgh last year [0] which will result in about 40k city lights being replaced with much more dark-sky-friendly hardware…

Agreed - only Apple standalone trackpads are really worth using as far as I can tell. If you happen to like the ThinkPad TrackPoint mouse nub, these keyboards work great for that t…

Luckily I've managed to associate it with more of a "deep focus" state, but a lot of people seem to feel like they'd get tired and fall asleep if they used a setup like this. I act…

I've had a setup like this for years, but it's much simpler: monitor arm [1], ultrawide display [2], keyboard + trackpad lap tray [3], any couch. Been through many iterations and l…

Good time to share Kane’s MachinePix project, which is made for this crowd: https://twitter.com/machinepix

A few they mention are production systems at fairly high volume. The floor scrubbers from Brain Corp and shelf scanners from Bossa Nova are running in hundreds of Walmart stores, a…

The call center example is actually more relevant than you might imagine. The jobs often look very similar to remote tech support in practice. In fact, some companies running call …

I'd be interested in how you'd propose to make that work when operators may be jumping in to a robot anywhere on the planet from one minute to the next. Require logging and reporti…

It's important to keep in mind that teleoperation is always paired with an (initially quite immature) autonomy system. Just as blakesterz called out in the sibling comment, the str…

Our company [1] works with a large number of autonomous robotics companies of varying scales, tasks, and morphologies. Teleoperation is a regular part of the workflow for many. It …
