e511 with Michael, Andy and Michael – Vibe coding with the Vision Pro, E Ink, ePaper, multi and single player MMORPGs, Minecraft London and much more.
Michael, Andy and Michael get things off to a fast start continuing the vibe coding conversation. The Vision Pro features prominently, with the idea that Siri was intended to allow for calling virtual objects into being in the Vision Pro environment without requiring the user to write code. Then, the team discusses the different algorithms used by quantified self devices such as the Oura Ring and Apple Watch. Next up, an intriguing concept of storing deleted data, with timestamps and user information for future potential use.
Then the co-hosts take the Figment E Ink hardware and run with it on a journey of other E Ink devices. While the Kindle provides an easy launch point, other E Ink / ePaper devices such as the Daylight computer, the ePaper Name Badge, the Remarkable 2, Air Lab, the Poem/1 (hail poetry!) and even grocery store price displays get their proverbial day in the sun.
Switching gears to massive multi (and single) player games, Andy shares a story about the Minecraft digital twin of London built over the past 5 years. In an MMORPG twist, the co-hosts discuss the simulated players in Erenshor, a single player version of an MMO.
Wrapping things up for the week, the team concludes with a couple of Nintendo stories repurposing older GameBoy and Wii hardware for fun experiments.
