I'm most interested in interactive media installations, in-person immersive experiences, unconventional interactions, and procedural gfx. Web tech is my 🍞+🧈, but I've dabbled in Unity, oF, and VR and would love to learn more! DMs are open. Let's chat! 📭

Happy holidays! Take some time to enjoy this little interactive #WebAR holiday card I built for my company (@Bluecadet) using @the8thwall and @threejs, with assets and animations from one of our talented motion designers, Siji Chen!

Something I'm especially proud of personally is the manual control UI and screen reader support (albeit imperfect). #Accessibility in #AR is uncharted territory, but I did my best! Try using #VoiceOver or #TalkBack, and read the accessibility tips in the About dialog if stuck.

I'm very interested in any feedback or ideas you have on how to make AR experiences like this more accessible, so don't be shy! I'll be building more AR experiences in the future and I want them to be awesome for everyone! 🙌🎉
I switched jobs recently (I'm a Creative Developer now! 🥳), and I'm regaining some energy for personal projects again, so I thought it was about time to implement dark mode on my portfolio site! jasonwebb.io

I made a few other tweaks as I went, like moving all font units to rems for better UA text scaling support and changing the default font to #Lexend, a font scientifically proven to be easier to read for everyone! lexend.com

For my next trick, I'm setting a challenge for myself to provide alt descriptions for all the images on my site, including the generative art. Wish me luck, and send me tips if you have em!

Yesterday I made a trip out to the Minnesota State Fair - my first time as a transplant to the area. I thought I knew what I was in for, but I was wrong. 322 acres, ~300 food vendors, ~700 shops, and over 2 MILLION visitors each year (so far only half that this year due to COVID)

There was of course more than just food! Two sky tram systems to get people around, tons of 4-H activities with thousands of animals, a mansion-sized haunted house, and (of course) anti-maskers...

I went to the fair totally expecting to laugh, and I did, but I ended up having a genuinely great time! It felt much more like a mature theme park than a state fair to me, definitely something to experience if you're in the area!
