The 35mm screening of the original blade runner is still running in my mind.
Long ago, bunch of us rented out a decrepit warehouse in Brooklyn, setup a lab and cloned heavy metal sequestering genes to produce quantum dots. Used to get cheap 6 packs and play blade runner on a projector in the background. Rain leaking through ceiling. This was before most even knew what synthetic biology was.
Many people from these days turned out to be, or turned into scumbags. I wonder what happened #diybio
A few images from yesterdays first #HoloDeck presentation at Prof. Varshneys #lab at the #Indian Institute of #Science (#IISc) in #Bangalore (#India), where people enjoyed 'playing molecules'.
Holodeck, also known as the Rechenkraft.net #Molecular #AR Environment is our #OpenSource approach - based on the @tiltfive hardware - to visualize molecular #structures in #3D for #education & #research & #development purposes.
6/n If you want to support our work, you could become part of our #community efforts by a Rechenkraft.net #charity #membership and add your ideas to ours. ;-)

5/n We are also in close contact with #Richtsbergschule in #Marburg where #HoloDeck will be used in #biology & #chemistry #teaching #classes using @tiltfive hardware, soon.

4/n In February this year, we got funded (as #HoloDeck project) by #JLU / #HMWK / #HessenHub to develop a #university #course to teach #students & #educators how to construct #molecular materials for this #AR platform.

2/n While our #IdeenExpo presentation from last year just covered #Windows OS, this time we presented the #AR molecular visualization system running under #Ubuntu 24.04LTS #Linux. Lots of fun explaining...

1/n Proud to present the next #prototype development round of our Rechenkraft.net #Molecular #AR Environment at #CLT2025 (March 22/23rd): An #OpenSource approach based on the @tiltfive.bsky.social hardware to visualize #molecular structures in #3D.
