“Tinkering” with Charlie Gerard and Cassie Evans
I am beyond delighted to welcome Cassie Evans and Charlie Gerard in this edition of Stay Curious. Both love tinkering. Cassie on Codepen, where you can find a lot of her SVG adventures and Charlie in the Projects area of her site, where she also states ”Useless is not worthless” – which is absolutely right. I am looking forward to an edition where we’ll hear and see why playfulness and experiments are important and why you never should stop being curious!
Building Mixed Reality Experiences in JavaScript
For the past few years, building AR and VR projects for the web has been possible with tools like A-Frame, Three.js and AR.js.
More recently, work around bringing mixed reality to the web has been done. With the WebXR API being in active development, let’s look into the differences between these technologies, what’s currently possible, and how to get started.
About Charlie Gerard
Charlie Gerard is a senior front-end developer at Netlify and a Google Developer Expert in web technologies. She is passionate about experimenting with innovative technologies and dedicates her free time to the research of human-computer interaction, mostly using JavaScript.
Some of the creative projects she's built include thought-controlled experiments using brain sensors, and motion-controlled web applications mixing machine learning, creative coding, hardware and 3D in the browser.
The SVG Toolkit
SVG isn’t just a scalable image format. It's capable of some seriously cool stuff!
Let’s take a look under the hood and explore how to make some snazzy code-based visual effects.
About Cassie Evans
Cassie is a front-end developer and educator with a background in design and a lot of love for animation.
She got started with coding back in the halcyon days of Myspace and Neopets and is on a mission to make the web more whimsical again.
She currently works at Clearleft in Brighton and can usually be found tinkering with SVG's on Codepen.
