Hey @jdenavas, thanks for getting in touch, and I’m looking forward to meeting you! Yeah, there’ll be an open section where people can present their projects. Could you talk about your p5js breakthroughs? I think that’ll fit well with the workshops we’ll have since they’re also in p5js.
P.S. I did a quick online search and found an American University article about your video game project about the National Cathedral. That’s really cool!
Hey @apbryant , Likewise! And happy to hear you read about the game! Regarding Breakthroughs/Discoveries with p5js:
Created the first 3D online multiplayer game using p5js, as well as built a template for others to create their own.
Created one of the first, first person “visually realistic looking” games using 3D LiDAR scans. This game is not publicly available yet due to digital scans of people being a legal grey area at this time we are looking into, but happy to show the prototype at PCD
Developed the first visual representation of the Galaxy using p5js using star databases - rendering all 110k+ data points with Claude.
Developed a first person POV Minecraft-like clone in VR using p5js and p5xr allowing people to build brick structures with boxes
Created one of the first prototype multimodal interaction games using p5js - Allowing a user to pilot a 3D ship using ml5js hand detection to turn the ship with one hand and aim where to fire at enemies with another hand; voice detection to activating shields; as well as keyboard input to allow a user to pilot the ship and fire a secondary cannon. This allows for a team of 3 people to play this game using voice input, keyboard input, and camera input all at the same time.
Working with a team of researchers at AU we’ve also discovered: Two contrast phenomena inconsistent with illumination assumptions via p5js, also with our research, we were honored to become the Grand Prize Winners in Japan’s International “17th Optical Illusion and Auditory Illusion Contest” last year. Additionally, at AU we currently have an embargo on another academic publication that was first visually represented using p5js.
Last but not least, not a breakthrough yet, but I am currently working with a Professor at AU, looking into using p5js to help individuals with Autism be able to identify their emotions with assistance in using ml5js.Currently still exploring this avenue, but hopefully we will be able to provide those in the Autism Community and in lower class areas with free tools they can use or refer to if needed.
@jdenavas Thanks! Those sound like really interesting projects. It would be great if you could share more about them in the presentation section of the event.
