Thank you to everyone who came to our last Localhost talk with @cwervo and @rsnous!
They presented on @FolkComputer and unveiled the Folk Gadget! Together we escaped the screen and entered the realm of light and paper-based computing.

i like how phone vibrate makes different weird sounds depending on what the phone is touching/sitting on, feels like a rare interaction between computer and the physical environment
It turns out that the gadget text rendering is garbled because the Raspberry Pi GPU Vulkan driver (v3dv) does not support dynamic indexing into an array of descriptors, the index just always gets sent to 0 with no warning
we need to hijack Apple NameDrop (the bump thing) so you can just NameDrop data into arbitrary objects in your environment. drop a video file into your couch, etc
Continuing this chain of thought … what if physical objects were programmable? @FolkComputer already allows digital → physical, what if you could use computer vision to enable physical → digital?
e.g.
- teach the computer to do highlighting to find physical notes? ⌘ + F IRL
