Hardware and Software tools for the creation of VK Spaces

Vision

Our goal is to provide access to your digital life through 3D interactions with the real physical environment (rather than 2D screens). You can, and should, read more about the vision for this platform on our website: Voight-Kampff.

Principles

A VK Space is an open-source implementation of a spatial (ambient) computing platform. It is entirely written in plain C and strives to completely remove all external dependencies. We believe our (spatial) computing future should be as open and understandable as possible.

We have worked to remove as many "black boxes" from the VK technology stack as possible. We also started a related education project, called No Black Boxes, to further promote a future of "understandable technology".

Overview

A Voight-Kampff Space's structure is composed from three primitives, based on the representation system used by human cortex.

  • Surfaces (static, define structure)
  • Objects (dynamic 3D entity, tracked)
  • Substrates (non-solid, e.g. particle system)

Each primitive in the structure has an associated material(s)

A Voight-Kampff Space's dynamics is coordinated through a collection of relevant "signals"

  • Music features
  • Other relevant globals

Signals can feed into the appearance of any structural element, as well as trigger interactions

A Voight-Kampff space's interactivity is mediated through Agents (people interacting with the space)

Questions

How big is the Carrier PCB?

It measures 84 × 60 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Carrier use?

81 parts, built around the SRN6045TA-2R2Y. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.

Where can I download the Carrier KiCad files?

From the kampff/Voight-Kampff repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is hardware/Nodes/VK1/Carrier/Carrier.kicad_pcb and its schematic hardware/Nodes/VK0/Carrier/Carrier.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Carrier design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the CC0-1.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
