Ben Nolan - Positional audio

http://www.bennolan.com/2014/04/17/positional-audio.html

I like to make software that is. A big part of the VR experience (especially in a headset like the oculus rift) is the ability to talk to other users. With the rift on, you can’t see the keyboard, and text overlays look a bit manky anyway (since DK1 is so low resolution), so being able to naturally talk to people is a great idea. So I’d like to have voice chat in my scene-server project. Auto connect to anyone nearby. UI for ‘click to talk’. I may be available to work on Rails and Javascript projects, em...

Ben Nolan - SceneVR, multiuser 3D

http://www.bennolan.com/2014/12/10/scenevr-multiuser-3d.html

I like to make software that is. SceneVR, multiuser 3D. Is my node.js webgl project that lets you easily create 3d scenes that you can experience with multiple people at once. It uses node.js and websockets to provide a server. The server loads html-like. It’s an open source (bsd licensed) project and is up on github. Folder on my macbook has had lots of activity over the past 6 months, but it was only during a holiday to visit Rissa. Currently SceneVR is pre-release. I’ve got a milestone set up in g...

Ben Nolan - Herenow retrospective

http://www.bennolan.com/2014/05/27/herenow-retrospective.html

I like to make software that is. I’ve been teaching myself mobile development for the past 6 months, and last week, I decided to put aside my full time project and instead try and build and release something quickly, to get experience with the whole app store submission process, and also to write an app with all the knowledge I’d gained over the previous 6 months (my previous project looks like a total nightmare). What I came up with was herenow. A few things I discovered:. IOS is easier to make pretty.

Ben Nolan - Herenow feature requests

http://www.bennolan.com/2014/09/25/herenow-feature-requests.html

I like to make software that is. I’ve been given a bunch of feedback on Herenow. I thought I’d make a blog post to list the main feature requests that my friends and other users have given me. You can reply to that person and say ‘awww damn thanks for the recommendation the blue cheese aoili was amazing yo’. Less battery usage on iOS. Open messages from notifications. If you get a notification while you’re driving, when you click on the notification, it doesn’t show you the relevant message, it shows you...

Ben Nolan - With - Quantified Self App

http://www.bennolan.com/2014/05/20/with---quantified-self-app.html

I like to make software that is. With - Quantified Self App. So I’m getting closer to releasing With. I was reading DHHs post. About hybrid apps, where you use native navigation and display content using webviews, and since it was slow going trying to write a purely native version of With, I decided to go hybrid. I’ve been trying to keep my function signatures the same across iOS and Android, so I can. Grinding out the release. I may be available to work on Rails and Javascript projects, email.

Ben Nolan - AOC 4k Monitor

http://www.bennolan.com/2014/08/08/aoc-4k-monitor.html

I like to make software that is. I bought one of the new AOC 4K Monitors (a u2868pqu). It’s a great monitor, and available for only $800 in New Zealand. I ordered mine from mightyape and it arrived the next day. I tired an equivalent monitor on my 11 air and it wouldn’t even power up, so no go with the HD3000. I ordered a gaming pc (from pbtech. I may be available to work on Rails and Javascript projects, email. Or Ruby on Rails.

Ben Nolan - Deploying node.js apps

http://www.bennolan.com/2014/08/11/deploying-node.js-apps.html

I like to make software that is. Deploying node.js apps. I’ve got a few node.js apps kicking around on my computer that I’ve been wanting to deploy for a while, but I’d never got around to it. Happily, I decided to try and deploy the asset-server. I was looking for sam minnee. Article on deploying using git, but couldn’t find it, so instead I went for the easy answer:. Git archive gzip bundle.tar.gz. AFAICT, this takes the current master branch and archives it up. It to my production server, untar it to.

Ben Nolan - Physics, hulls and cannon.js

http://www.bennolan.com/2014/07/24/physics,-hulls-and-cannon.js.html

I like to make software that is. Physics, hulls and cannon.js. As part of my exploring metaverse stuff lately, I’ve been thinking of ways I could make some cash moneys off the technology I’ve built. One of the first ideas I’ve come across, is to make a walk-through visualizer for architectural models. So as well as providing a global metaverse where anyone can upload art, also have private workspaces where people can place models and walk through them with their clients. I’ve used bullet physics. Is a li...
