Been experimenting with building a real-time idea board where anyone can submit a short message and see it appear instantly on a shared display.
The whole thing was vibecoded from scratch as a quick experiment in lightweight real-time systems.
Users can send messages from their phones, they appear live on a communal screen, and an admin can moderate what shows up in real time.
Built using a simple stack:
Node.js + Express + Socket.IO for real-time communication, with a lightweight HTML/CSS/JS frontend.
Possible use cases could include:
• Idea sharing boards during workshops or hackathons
• Audience interaction at events or conferences
• Community message walls in public spaces
• Collecting feedback or voting on preferred ideas
• Collaborative brainstorming sessions

I moved around a lot as a kid. Some spaces hold heavy meaning to me rn, and I want to archive them just in case I feel like I'd like to revisit them when im older. Started out with a gausian splat of my room.
I tried out sending OSC data from touchdesigner to unreal engine using Kinect data. Used the Niagra system for the first time. I'll get better at it over time.
I tried my hand at AR mobile applications using unity's XR interaction toolkit paired with AR Foundation to make a world tracking AR application. I kept the functionalities pretty simple:rotate,scale, place, play animation, and reset position.
A step a day in any direction will ultimately get me to where I need to be.

I saw this on the internet and thought how cool it would be if we were able to play air guitar or the harp using gestures. Recreated it on TD, then used the kinect for reactivity. I'll add the string sounds later.
This song by Shing02 was also kinda cool to listen to
