EqualMotion: Accessible Motion Capture for the Creative Industries
Motion capture technologies are increasingly used in creative and performance contexts but often exclude disabled practitioners due to normative assumptions in body modeling, calibration, and avatar representation. EqualMotion introduces a body-agnostic, wearable motion capture system designed through a disability-centred co-design approach. By enabling personalised calibration, integrating mobility aids, and adopting an inclusive visual language, EqualMotion supports diverse body types and mov…

Hace unos dias me topé con este cover de «Going to California» (original de Led Zeppelin) en la hermosa voz de Amy Lee. Digno de compartir.

1/ I know very little about the Balkans, and I discovered this excellent book, Modern Albania by Fred Abrahams, in an unusual way. I was at the Albania exhibit at the Venice Architecture Biennale 2025, and this happened to be placed with the exhibit. ↵

Just finished "Forest Hills Bootleg Society" by Dave Baker and Nicole Goux. It's a very interesting queer teen graphic novel that's got a complicated plot. It also does some excellent things with the comic medium that I haven't seen elsewhere, letting us get glimpses of the inner lives of dozens of background characters.
I'm definitely interested in reading more from these authors.

MultimodalHugs: Enabling Sign Language Processing in Hugging Face
In recent years, sign language processing (SLP) has gained importance in the general field of Natural Language Processing. However, compared to research on spoken languages, SLP research is hindered by complex ad-hoc code, inadvertently leading to low reproducibility and unfair comparisons. Existing tools that are built for fast and reproducible experimentation, such as Hugging Face, are not flexible enough to seamlessly integrate sign language experiments. This view is confirmed by a survey we…

Hach Buttons als png sind lästig arbeitsintensiv, wenn man vorgegebene Parameter in so einen Generator händisch eingeben muss, ein Zeitfresser par excellance.

Indirect content warning for parental abuse, conversion "therapy," and homelessness.
Just finished "A World Worth Saving" by Kyle Lukoff. It's a gripping teen contemporary fantasy that has a Jewish trans protagonist, deals firmly with some dark stuff, and does an excellent job not only avoiding but confronting the problems with heroism as a literary theme. A truly excellent book, even if it doesn't transcend its YA genre as completely as something like Le Guin's Earthsea series IMO.
