    Cool work, thanks for sharing! I saw briefly in the video https://youtu.be/QlfCfkzkBB4?si=xkuPS0Dj9Z9hnjAP&t=57 that you were using 3d renderings of eyes for training? Did you find…

    I’ve done the same with a q3 and virtual desktop for a few weeks and hours at a time when I didn’t have a good monitor. I could run a 4k screen after tweaking the settings a bit. (…

    I didn’t have to disable mobile mode to move my fingers over the browser navigation from the app and still control the puck. It’s very replaceable. I like the statistics. Perhaps o…

    Nice! Does-this/can-this handle interlacing? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interlaced_video (Half vertical resolution, offset a bit every other frame)

    I was thinking shooting the piece into a basket or something, but aiming for the player's forehead sounds fun.

    Cool project! Could a hefty reverse magnetic pulse launch captured pieces off the board? And maybe with some precision by controlling the offset and power?

    Neat, I played with 360 equirectangular projection gen for a gamejam last year. It has some interesting possibilities and challenges. I started to image segment objects then genera…

    This is neat, but yeah, another fun challenge: have it build a letter/word/pixel art from random pieces, the best it can.
