FULL INDEX — EXPERIMENTS & FIELD NOTES
The lab
Where the professional work gets its instincts. Small builds, teaching experiments and prototypes across electronics, vision, print and immersive tech — most documented in public for the 50K people who follow the channel.
DIY hologram projector
A home-built holographic display from everyday materials. The build video passed 2M views — proof that showing the making is as valuable as the made.
$20 IoT softbox
A remote-controlled studio light on an ESP32 — a working smart-home device at pocket-money cost.
Finger-counting light control
Computer vision counts raised fingers on a webcam and switches LEDs to match — Python end to end, source shared with followers.
AR smart home
Augmented reality as a control surface for home devices — pointing a phone at the room instead of hunting through an app.
AR / AI doctor
A smart NPC in augmented reality that answers healthcare questions — an experiment in embodied medical guidance.
AI companion for kids
A programmed virtual character built to teach children — voice, personality, patience.
3D print bench
Functional prints and toys — from a cat-shaped phone stand to workshop parts. Design → slice → print → use.
Parking barrier controller
A web UI driving real entry/exit barriers: PHP → USB serial → Arduino UNO → relay board. Deliberately boring tech that has to work every time.
LiveTwin rig
Digital-twin testbed: a 3D-printed rotor rig streaming vibration and RPM from an ESP32 over MQTT into a Unity twin — with a VR control panel that actuates the real motor back.
Unity game prototypes
Hybrid-casual mobile game experiments under the Qamarium banner — crowd-runners and a pass-the-phone word-battle party game.
VR workshop days
Mentoring full days on building VR from scratch — Unity and Meta XR — with GDG campus groups, plus SRS workshops at Technopoly.
Future Skills Lab
My own one-day English × coding × robotics workshop for students in Mostaganem — six mBots, real challenges, real hardware.
