Although I doubt many read this LJ still, I wanted to post a farewell message ( Read more... )

Counting down till the weekend. I could really use the extra long one due to Easter, as it has been quite a busy week. Did a lot of usertesting! Managed to find 11 people to help me out from various sources (classmates, coworkers at my internship, other interns at different companies). Sadly it also means a lot a paperwork =P ( Read more... )

I am aware my most recent posts have been mostly about AR, but I wanted to share these 2 vids because they are quite nicely done, if somewhat scary view of the future.

I really can't focus today. It's so annoying. My eyes feel heavy, despite having slept pretty fine. I actually dozed off briefly in the train this morning, the morning sun warming me through the window. I doesn't help either that I got a bloody cold, stuffed nose is driving me crazy. So here I am, at my internship at 10am, supposed to record and ( Read more... )

So yesterday we had elections. I'll spare you the details, but at the end of the day they had an exit poll with a prediction of the seats for each political party (gosh this is a pain to explain in English). So instead of the usual graphs on a screen they used Augmented Reality!

They utterly failed with the numbers on the first try:

In a couple of months I will hopefully graduate. As I am writing this, I am doing a research internship about Augmented Reality at a company in Einhoven. Having said internship means I have to travel daily by bus and train, getting up at 5.30 in the morning, arriving at 8.30. At the end of the day I leave at about 17.00 and get home at 19.00. Long ( Read more... )

So I may have forgotten about my LJ…whoops? I sorta moved on to non-blogging related stuff, lurking/reposting on Tumblr (all your fault aien_hime). It’s just so…many pics/gifs to satisfy my fangirl needs! And it works quite lovely as an app on my new Samsung Tab3 Lite too (got it for free with my new smartphone, old one died :( ). I suppose Tumblr is ( Read more... )

You know that deadline you forgot all about? Yeah, that happened to me. Yesterday I was all happy about finally having a week off (autumn holidays, hoo!), only to get a text message from a classmate, asking about the deadline of an assignment for Digital Publishing. I sorta assumed it was the Friday after said holiday, but turns out the deadline is ( Read more... )

Yesterday morning I was on my way to class, on my way to my 2nd train (the first train I take doesn't stop at my destination, thus I need to switch over to a different one halfway), only to suddenly to find myself falling. Managed to get my hands out to prevent major damage, but still hit the ground with my knees. I don't recall being pushed in the ( Read more... )

A couple of weeks ago I hit a new age mark. I thought I would be utterly miserable about it, due to the whole social pressure stuff (get boyfriend, get a place to live together, marry, babies, etc.). You see, all my cousins/nieces of my age range got this stuff ages ago, which kinda makes you wonder if you are doing the entire thing wrong.  But ( Read more... )
