HyperLynx
I've spent a lot of time thinking about how we interact with computers while doing things in the physical world.
In a lot of technical work, there's a constant exchange of attention between the task in front of us and the software we're using to support it. We navigate interfaces, interpret information, document progress, and then return to what we were doing.
I've always wondered whether that relationship could work differently.
I think more intelligent systems could change a great deal about how we work, even without introducing entirely new interfaces. But I'm particularly interested in what becomes possible when those systems are designed with spatial computing and augmented reality in mind.
Rather than waiting for those technologies to mature, why not begin building the software foundations they'll eventually need?
That's largely what I'm attempting with HyperLynx.
I don't know exactly where it'll lead, but I think it's a problem worth pursuing.
NexRail
NexRail is one of the first explorations taking shape within HyperLynx.
It began with a problem familiar to anyone who's spent time diagnosing electronics: constantly moving between the physical board, schematics, diagnostic tools, and the information needed to make sense of it all.
I'm interested in what happens when those tools become more aware of the work itself, capable of reasoning alongside the person using them, rather than simply waiting for instructions.
For now, NexRail is where I'm beginning to explore some of those ideas.
