Alert matrix
Nine ways a phone stays quiet, run by hand on a desk of devices for ten years. Now a harness that runs them for us, on every beta.
The bench.
Generation → judgement. A phyllotaxis cloud that keeps deciding to become the mark.
No brief. No client. No billable code. The bench is where we are allowed to be wrong in interesting ways, and where three products and one matrix started.

Render-loop sketches — the scratchpad where frame-budget instinct comes from. A wheel rolling with loops: x = t − 1.8 sin t, drawn at 60 a second.

Live map tiles streamed into Unity in a weekend. The streamer outlived the hackathon; it's the one other studios license now.

Disco Floor
A floor that listens — beat detection driving an emissive shader grid. Louder than it needed to be, on purpose.

Frosty Lamp
Presence-reactive light, firmware flashed until it behaved. Still at the door, still switching itself on before we reach it.

What the studio sounds like while the build compiles. Golden-angle spacing, for no reason other than it looks right.
Three graduated from the bench to the record.
Sign of Love
Kuji-Vision's tracking research, aimed at teaching ASL. First visionOS wave, still on the App Store.Video Streamer
Nothing was fast enough, so we built it in a weekend. Now a Unity plugin licensed by other studios — revenue without headcount.Yep
Video chat with no login and no time limit. Built to test our own three-week rule before asking anyone to believe it. Still up.

If it needs a weekend and a desk of phones before it deserves a budget, we are easy to talk into it.
