I am always on the quest for a 360 camera that doesn’t break the budget. If it costs less than $500, I will try it. Rylo is the most promising 360 camera so far. It truly embraces it’s uniqueness and offers some compelling features that I have never seen before – like stabilization. It’s soContinue reading “Rylo 360 Camera”

DJI Mavic Air
I recently upgraded to a DJI Mavic Air. I am very impressed at how DJI keeps making their products better, smaller *and* cheaper!
Sony A7RIII
I started using this camera in 2018. Prior to this, I had the previous generation Sony A7RII. These Sony cameras are very next-gen. The sensors are a class apart. However, they are still quite lacking in the ergonomics department.
DJI Mavic Pro
I have used DJI drones for a while and been through several versions. My current one is the DJI Mavic Pro. I’m amazed at how they keep getting better. I’m quite happy with the size, weight, battery life and the photo and video quality. I highly recommend it.

Bus Defense AR game – Fuse Labs
Location Based Augmented Reality game for serendipitous interactions with fellow commuters. I designed and prototyped this game as an HTML5 mobile app. Worked with Stephen Coy who worked on the Windows Phone version using XNA and Tien Suwandy who built the game backend. You can see an early prototype of the basic game engine here. And the codeContinue reading “Bus Defense AR game – Fuse Labs”
Visualizing Foursquare Checkins across venues
I was curious to see what checkin data looks like when aggregated across multiple venues of the same type. I put together this site which has some pre-configured venue-sets and depending on the URL used, they can either be viewed independently or be compared across multiple ones. https://sameerhalai.com/projects/checkin/venues/aaplstorenearmsft/msftstoreall/
