Eye interaction for virtual reality and augmented reality.

We create integrated hardware, software, and user interfaces that examine your eye movements to figure out your intent and allow you to control computers hands-free, using only your eyes.

It's clear that eye tracking is going to be a key feature of future VR headsets. The only question is whether it will be introduced in generation 2 or 3.

Webgcode, a cam ironically without g-code. https://github.com/nraynaud/webgcode

I use a bunch of randomly hacked stuff to generate toolpaths, like webgl, svg etc.

It supports gerber, excellon, svg and stl files.

I build a digital signage platform based on the Raspberry PI. It started as an open source "for fun" project (https://github.com/dividuum/info-beamer) but has now evolved into the most powerful software to build animated, hardware accelerated visualizations on the PI. As using the software on its own can be complicated (if you're not a programmer) I built a complete SaaS around it (https://info-beamer.com/hosted) which allows you to get your first screen running in a few minutes without any knowledge of Lua, Linux or even the PI. The software running on the PI is written in C/Lua and uses OpenGL/OMX to do its hardware acceleration. The hosted service is built using Python and includes a complete readonly and custom built Linux distribution that runs on the PI. On top of that it's possible to control the hosted service using the API so you can build your own digital signage around the technology. It's so much fun developing on all different parts of the product that I'll never get bored.

Misc tools to make development more efficient:

https://github.com/shuber/owners - Take ownership of your code! Knowing who owns a project or section of a code base is very helpful when asking questions or requesting feedback. This gem allows developers to define OWNERS files throughout their repository to provide a human and machine readable way to determine who the maintainers are for specific files of code.

https://github.com/shuber/monolith - Generate a monolithic repository for a set of git repositories!

https://github.com/shuber/tmux-git - Display git information in your TMUX status lines! Plays real nicely with vim-promiscuous.

https://github.com/shuber/vim-promiscuous - Instant context switching built on git and vim sessions! It basically takes a snapshot of the following and let's you rollback to previous states:

- All of your vim tabs, buffers, splits, and folds along with their sizes and positions

- The location of your cursor for each buffer

- The actively selected tab/buffer

- Your undo history (each branch's undo history is saved separately)

- Your git stage with all tracked/untracked files and staged/unstaged hunks

Nice idea, but fyi, "scat" has some very negative connotations..., I would look it up on urbandictionary.
