[:en]You’ve probably noticed over the last year that I haven’t been that active writing on the blog. Sorry, I was busy with this study. Let’s make an agreement straight away – this is not your ordinary tech article (although you will find some interesting implementation details here). This is a study to prove that new technologies don’t tear the fabric of time, to prove that things that seem incompatible, located in unimaginably distant cultural coordinates, can still be touched and the touch is beautiful. For me personally, this study is especially significant. The story began ten years ago when a Buddhist friend proposed making a mobile prayer application. This venture raised a huge number of questions to be resolved before the primary one could be addressed: “Can a computer pray for the benefit of all living beings?”

Want a spoiler? The result is here. After launching the computer starts praying for you in accordance with Tibetan Buddhism customs. How comes? Read the article.

[:ru]Давно готовлюсь к новой игровой инсталляции, на этот раз JavaScriptWebGL (библиотека three.js).

Управление реализовано через Android приложение в виде джойстика для игровой приставки (game pad).

На Android стартует WebSocket сервер к которому коннектится JS и слушает простейшие команды: вверх, вниз, влево, вправо.

I`ve spent a lot of evenings to prepare new playable installation. This time it is developed with WebGL (three.js by Mr.Doob)

Also i`ve developed gamepad Android application to control this installation.

As Android application starts it launches WebSocket server.

JavaScript application connects to it and listens for simple commands: up, down, left, right.

You can find video of result further.

Первая часть глазообразной инсталляции готова. Надо сказать самая простая благодаря Alternativa 3D. Впереди кропотливая доводка visual appearence, детекции движения, интерфейс для оперативного развертывания инсталляции.[:en]

First part of eyes-based interactive installation is done. First and easiest one (thanks to Alternativa 3D). Now it`s time for long work with details of visual appearence and motion detection.
