"Imagine Analog is a project focused on guitar players! We’re making a configurable multi-effect guitar pedal that will allow guitarists to change the way their guitar sounds using low-latency, high-quality analog circuitry! Guitarists will be able to change how their guitar sounds out of the amp with better sound quality and at a lower price than current pedals on the market. We’re aiming toward having a fully operational guitar pedal that people can try out at Showcase." - Soohan Kim

Extra Credit with Professor Mark Sivak! 📝
Here I share something design or tech related from the week for those looking for just a little extra credit.
|
|
|
|
I have been using and following Extended Reality technology for over a decade. There are some exciting developments occurring and some that I remain skeptical about (specifically the metaverse). Anyway, this week Meta did have a game showcase with some fun-looking games. Currently, one of the best ways to try VR is by gaming on the Meta Quest 2.
|
|
I do think that XR will play a larger role in our work and social lives but still, it is far off. One of my favorite experiences has been watching NBA games in VR. I hope they try more live experiences and social experiences and try less to have us meet for work wearing VR headsets and awkwardly trying to use a whiteboard in VR with hand controllers.
