  SHAPESHIFTERS - 2018

  This experiment is an insight into creating a buildable modular toy that can transform (partially to fully). The build is using Lego blocks and some Mega Bloks. Also, it is loaded with three servos, two motors, an Arduino nano with a motor shield and Bluetooth chipset. The build can go 7km/hr on average and 10km/hr under stress. App built in unity. Programmed with C# and C++. Also, the graphics are designed in Photoshop and Illustrator.

  TURRENTBLOK MIXED REALITY APP - 2018

  The Turrent and the portal are built out of Mega Bloks (micro), onto which two markers are attached for AR detection. The larger marker is loading the portal VFX and the enemy combatants. And the smaller marker attached to the turrent is loading the VFX for the gun and a life bar. In order for the player to win the game kill all enemy combatants before they reach the orange blocks and hold them for 45 seconds. The hardware setup is simple enough. Using a motor, Bluetooth and an Arduino board controlled by the app. The app itself is build in Unity using vuforia for AR implementation. Programmed in C# and C++. This is a rudimentary portrayal of what the future of mixed reality apps will be.

  ROBOBLOK - 2017

  This robotic hand is built with Megabloks (micro). On the inside, I have five servos curling the fingers. The servos are connected to an Arduino nano chipset that is wirelessly driven by a second nano chipset on board the glove via NRF Modules on each end. Five flex sensors 4.5 inches long are attached to the glove fingers. Also inside the robot hand is a neopixel ring and neopixel lights in the fingertips. The system is coded in C++.

  ROVER MIXED REALITY APP - 2018

  This experiment is a demo as to how a physical toy can interact with the virtual object(s); sending signals back and forth. The Mars Rover is a Mega Bloks toy that is loaded up with two motors for movement. A servo for steering. A piezo buzzer for honking. Four LEDs for headlights, And a Bluetooth for connection to iPhone (controller). These parts are attached to an Arduino board which connects to an app via Bluetooth. The app is created in Unity and the AR implementation is done via Vuforia plugin. Programmed in C# and C++.
