HOLOGRAM

During Hack Night at Quelab (January 25th) Adric and I played with our hologram Looking Glass Portrait displays:

Double the hologram fun,

for the Year-of-the-Rabbit

I made a nice kit to carry around the hologram display:

Everything fit in a bag (top),

all the ingredients (bottom)

I had bought a short USB C-to-USB C cord, to power the Looking Glass Portrait display with my INIU Portable Charger (22.5W 20000mAh USB C in & Out Power Bank Fast Charging).

The new set up did not work at first, but did eventually. Not sure whether it was the new USB C cord at fault, or the power pack or the Looking Glass Portrait display.

The idea was to be able to carry around the hologram display easily, to quickly show it to people. However if there are problems turning it on, that is going to look too nerdy.

I should considering updating the Looking Glass software too.

Adric also ordered a power bank battery pack for my Laserpecker 2, as well as a lightning cable Amazon sells the Laserpecker 2, but not the accessories.

I also used the Laserpecker 2 on January 28th, and was having troubles connecting to it with Bluetooth, which was frustrating and nerdy.

When the power bank comes in we can 3D print a holder for it, using the STL file from this website.

OT Circus had an art market on Saturday, January 28th, in downtown Albuquerque. I bought a t-shirt from Joe Turner, who showed in the gallery last November:

The Tuesday Night drawing group of Santa Fe drew both in person and on Zoom at the new Argos Gallery/Studio location. They arranged a hybrid real/virtual drawing session that had started during Covid. I and someone else drew from Albuquerque, someone else drew from Taos:
